Design Consulting

Design consulting for building enclosures focuses on selecting and detailing systems that balance long-term performance with architectural intent and construction methods. RDH supports design teams from schematic phase through construction documentation, providing guidance on system selection, material compatibility, and the continuity of control layers, including air, water, thermal, and vapor barriers. Our work addresses climate-specific considerations such as condensation risk and thermal bridging to inform enclosure strategies that are constructible and code-aligned.

• Early-phase input covers system selection, detailing approaches, and how to align decisions with performance objectives before commitments are locked in.
• Interface and transition analysis supports continuity of control layers across the full enclosure, addressing the connections between assemblies where failures most often originate.
• Thermal and moisture control strategy reviews condensation risk, material compatibility, and climate-specific variables to inform high-performance detailing.
