New Construction Partnering with you from design through close-out Through the planning, design, and construction process, BES takes an active role in developing a plan for building enclosure oversight. Our intent is to understand your intent and provide the best direction to meet project goals. We strive to be great leaders and team members in this process, delivering solutions that work. Let’s discuss your building New construction services Let’s talk Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) We collaborate with you from design to close-out, creating commissioning plans that support the development of high-performing building enclosures. Through in-depth peer reviews, submittal oversight, on-site construction phase observations, reporting, and field verification testing, we help you achieve highly durable and sustainable buildings. Our detailed oversight throughout every project phase promotes your building’s long-term success. Learn more Field Verification Testing Our experts coordinate and perform standardized field testing for mock-ups and installed building enclosure systems, confirming alignment with design specifications and resolving potential issues efficiently. Learn more Sustainability We promote the balance between sustainability and durability, so you meet energy goals without compromising building performance. For us, sustainability means getting it right the first time—designing durable enclosures that prevent material waste and energy loss, while supporting initiatives like decarbonization and optimized energy use through proper insulation and modeling.

Our team of RRCs and RROs direct building owners and roofing installers on best practices for design, installation, and material performance, providing on-site quality control to promote accurate product installation in accordance with approved drawings, specifications, and manufacturer warranties. Learn more New construction process BES partners with institutions, architects, construction managers, and building developers in the commissioning of new building enclosure systems. Our process emphasizes clear communication across your project team as we create commissioning plans to address design and construction needs. We help minimize risk while delivering practical, durable, and sustainable solutions that align with your budget and project goals. 01 Pre-Design BECxA / BECxP Develop Owner’s Project Requirements and Basis of Design Pre-Design → Post Construction Condition Assessment 02 Design Phase Design Charrettes Product Research BECx Spec Design Review 03 Construction Phase Pre-Functional Checklists Construction Observations Field Performance Verification On-Site Meetings Close-out Documentation Review 04 Occupancy Phase Enclosure Items Addressed Training Review of Maintenance and Warranty 05 Post-Occupancy Phase 10-Month Post Occupancy Warranty Review “Having worked with BES on several projects, I have found their team to be able to consistently negotiate complex scopes on the design side with a keen eye for detail throughout the project life cycle. On the occasions where they provided commissioning services, their timely reviews provided a framework on which constructive conversations with the entire project team could be had, leading to tangible improvements in our building’s envelope design and construction.” Featured Projects Northeastern University ICBM Building 5 Burlington, MA Type: Academic Size: 104,000 SF Owner: Northeastern University A/E: EYP Architecture & Engineering Services: Building Enclosure Commissioning (BECx) services including peer review, quality assurance, mock-up testing, on-site quality control, field testing, and closeout inspection services.
