What We Do

Performance expectations for modern buildings continue to grow, yet many projects still approach the building envelope as separate components rather than a fully integrated system. The Building Agency is challenging this conventional approach with a holistic methodology that prioritises performance from the framing outward. Instead of focusing solely on façade materials, our team has developed a complete external wall assembly designed to work together as one coordinated system.

Our Integrated ENCLOSURE Systems combines four essential elements, sheathing, membrane, anchoring, and cladding, to deliver unified performance across structural integrity, wind loading, fire safety, moisture control, airflow, thermal efficiency, and acoustic performance.

This "inside-out" approach establishes performance requirements first. The building is initially sheathed to provide structural, fire, and wind resistance, then wrapped for moisture and vapour management, followed by insulation to enhance thermal and acoustic outcomes. Only once these critical layers are resolved is the façade selected to achieve the desired aesthetic.
