Building Envelope Consulting in Cancún, Mexico
Jackson Envelope Consulting (JEC) provides independent building envelope consulting, forensic investigation, and field testing services for high-rise resort hotels, commercial centers, and luxury developments throughout Cancún, the Zona Hotelera, Puerto Cancún, Playa del Carmen, and the Riviera Maya.
The Mexican Caribbean Environment Demands More
Cancún combines extreme tropical humidity, intense sunlight, aggressive salt air, and heavy seasonal rainfall. High-occupancy coastal developments suffer heavy mechanical and thermal stress, causing exterior sealants to break down rapidly. Water intrusion through curtain walls, stucco cladding, and roof membranes is a constant risk for property owners.
JEC’s expert consultants identify vulnerabilities early in the design stage and ensure proper field execution during construction.
Wind and Water: Severe Hurricane Exposure
Cancún lies in a major Atlantic hurricane corridor. Wind-driven rain during extreme storm events can force water through minor design flaws or installation errors in exterior glazing and cladding. AAMA and ASTM field testing provides critical proof of assembly performance under severe weather conditions.
