Helping owners understand and
care for their buildings
Building Envelope Management is an independent roof and building-envelope consulting firm. We combine field experience with practical planning to help you understand your property, address problems, and prepare for what comes next.
Building Envelope
Management
Founded in Miami in 2016, BEM serves building owners and facility teams nationwide. Our work focuses on the roof, exterior walls, waterproofing, and related systems that protect a building from the elements.
We help clients understand how those systems are performing and decide how to maintain, repair, restore, or replace them. Our role can begin with an assessment and continue through planning, design and procurement support, construction observation, and ongoing asset management.
We understand that every recommendation has consequences for the people responsible for a property. Budgets, daily operations, and future plans all matter. We bring those considerations into the conversation alongside the technical findings.
BEM by the Numbers
Our experience spans nearly every major roof system type, with work ranging from condition assessments and investigations to design, construction quality observation, and ongoing asset management.
Making proactive building management practical
We believe owners should have a clear understanding of their buildings before a failure forces a decision. That means knowing what is in place, what condition it is in, and where attention or investment is needed.
Our purpose is to make that understanding useful. We translate field findings into priorities and practical next steps so your team can address immediate concerns while preparing for future maintenance and capital needs.
The principles behind our work
Start with the evidence
We review available records, observe conditions in the field, and use appropriate testing to answer the questions within the project scope. Our recommendations explain what the findings support and where further investigation is needed.
Keep the owner's interests central
We consider the building's condition, operational needs, budget, and long-term plans when evaluating options. Our independent consulting perspective helps owners understand the basis for a recommendation.
Make the findings understandable
We explain what we found, why it matters, and what to do next. Clear reports and supporting documentation help facility teams communicate with owners, boards, contractors, and other project partners.
Plan beyond the immediate project
We connect today's work to future maintenance, warranty records, and capital planning. The information collected during an engagement should continue to support the people managing the property.
Field experience with a
management perspective
BEM brings together field assessment, technical documentation, and project support. We work with facility staff and project partners to connect what is happening at the building with the decisions that need to be made.
Frank leads Building Envelope Management with a background in building construction and business management. As a Registered Roof Observer, he brings a field-based perspective to roof conditions, construction quality, and the documentation owners need to manage their assets.
His approach connects technical findings with the owner's responsibilities: understanding risk, allocating resources, and planning for the building's future. That perspective shapes BEM's emphasis on practical recommendations and ongoing asset management.
Serving the people responsible for buildings
Our experience includes healthcare facilities, schools and universities, government properties, commercial buildings, and condominium communities. We support individual properties, campuses, and portfolios across multiple locations.
We work with owners, facility teams, property managers, and boards, as well as architects, engineers, and project managers seeking building-envelope expertise. Each engagement reflects the property's needs and the client's responsibilities, whether that involves investigating a persistent leak or planning work across a portfolio.
Keeping building knowledge useful over time
A building's history matters to its next decision. Inspection findings, repairs, warranties, and past project records provide context that can be lost as teams and responsibilities change.
BEAM, the Building Envelope Asset Manager, is BEM's web-based platform for organizing asset information and supporting ongoing planning. When included in an engagement, it helps keep condition records, project history, and priorities available for future decisions.
