GCI Consultants serves the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry. Regardless of industry, compliance standards are important. We conduct testing at different stages of building construction and throughout the lifetime of the building. This allows us to evaluate elements of the building enclosure, fenestration, installation performance, compliance to industry standards, warranty requirements, and project specifications. We also conduct testing on existing structures to identify the sources of air and water leakage to allow for remediation of any potential issues.
