If you're looking for a building envelope consulting team where the people you meet during the proposal are the same people who will be reviewing your submittals, observing your mockups, and writing your test reports — you've found it. ACE Building Envelope Design is built on a senior-staffed model. Every project is led by experienced consultants who remain directly involved from initial consultation through project closeout. We don't hand off your project to junior staff after the proposal is signed.
Our building envelope consulting team brings multidisciplinary backgrounds spanning architecture, structural engineering, building science, and construction management. This diversity of expertise allows ACE to evaluate the building envelope as a complete system — understanding how waterproofing decisions affect air barrier continuity, how thermal detailing impacts moisture management, and how construction sequencing determines whether design intent survives the field.
Led by CEO Conor Meyers, President John Harris, Director Jedidiah Brandman, and Kevin Moultrie, ACE's team operates from offices in Concord, California and Nampa, Idaho, with a virtual office in Newport Beach, California — positioning us to deploy rapidly across our seven-state service territory. Whether your project requires envelope design, accredited testing, forensic investigation, or construction quality assurance, the team assigned to your project will have direct experience with the specific challenges your building type and location present.
Leadership and Forensic Investigation Experience
ACE's leadership team brings the combination of technical depth and business acumen that defines a consultancy capable of handling complex, high-stakes building envelope projects. CEO Conor Meyers, President John Harris, Director Jedidiah Brandman, and Kevin Moultrie founded ACE on the belief that forensic investigation experience makes for better design — that understanding how buildings fail is the most reliable path to designing buildings that don't. This forensic-informed philosophy permeates every level of the organization, from how we approach new construction design to how we staff condition assessment projects.
Our senior consultants have investigated hundreds of building envelope failures across multifamily, commercial, institutional, and modular construction projects. This forensic database informs our design recommendations, our quality assurance protocols, and our testing priorities — because we've seen firsthand which details succeed and which ones lead to warranty claims, litigation, and expensive remediation. For construction attorneys who engage ACE for litigation support, our team's investigation methodology and expert testimony capability are grounded in this extensive forensic experience.
Multidisciplinary Expertise and FGIA/AAMA Credentials
Building envelope performance is the intersection of multiple engineering disciplines — structural, thermal, moisture, and materials science. ACE's consulting team includes professionals with backgrounds in each of these areas, allowing us to evaluate envelope systems holistically rather than through a single technical lens. When we review a curtain wall design, we consider not just the fenestration performance but also the structural movement accommodation, the perimeter air barrier continuity, the thermal performance at the frame-to-structure connection, and the compatibility between the sealant system and the adjacent materials.
Our FGIA/AAMA accreditation represents an organizational commitment to testing rigor that extends across the entire team. Every team member who performs field testing operates under the accreditation protocols that have been independently audited by the Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance. This means that whether your testing is performed by our Concord office or our Nampa office, the procedures, documentation standards, and quality management systems are identical and independently verified.
ACE's team also maintains current knowledge of applicable ASTM testing standards, ASHRAE performance criteria, ICC building codes, and state-specific energy requirements including California's Title 24 and the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) as adopted across our service territory.
What You're Facing
You need a building envelope consultant you can trust with your project — where senior expertise is actually assigned to your work, not just featured in the proposal.
How We Address It
ACE's senior-staffed model means the consultants you meet at the proposal are the same people who deliver the work — from design review through final testing and documentation.
What You Get
Consistent expertise, direct communication with experienced professionals, and the confidence that your project is being handled by people who have seen — and solved — challenges like yours before.

Field Teams and Rapid Deployment Capability
Building envelope consulting isn't a desk job. Our field teams are the operational backbone of ACE's testing, inspection, and forensic investigation services. They deploy from both offices to conduct ASTM E1105 water testing, air leakage testing, infrared thermography surveys, electronic leak detection, and construction-phase quality assurance observations across all seven states in our service territory.
Our two-office structure means that projects in California, Arizona, and Nevada are typically served from our Concord headquarters, while projects in Idaho, Utah, Oregon, and Washington deploy from Nampa. For urgent issues — active water intrusion, construction defect discovery, or time-sensitive testing needs — ACE offers same-day consultation and rapid field deployment.
Join the ACE Team
ACE is always interested in hearing from qualified building envelope professionals who want to do meaningful work. Our team members work on projects where their expertise directly protects buildings and the people inside them — from forensic investigations that identify root causes to design engagements that prevent failures before they occur.
If you're a building science professional, architect, structural engineer, or field testing specialist who shares our commitment to forensic-informed design and accredited testing, explore career opportunities with our growing team. ACE offers competitive compensation, professional development, and the opportunity to work on challenging projects across seven Western U.S. states.
