HISTORY

In 2012, our Principal, Steven Turner, P.E., founded Building Envelope Consultants and Scientists with the goal of providing engineering solutions to Clients on both a personal and professional level while maintaining a steadfast dedication to family. He believed that honesty, quality, and innovation should be the anchor of business. Since then, these beliefs guided all of our projects and services as the company has grown.
