Ensure Excellence with
JEC Verified
A rigorous, third-party building envelope program designed to validate performance, maximize energy efficiency, and ensure lasting durability—competing at the highest levels of industry standards.
Start the Verification ProcessWhy Achieve JEC Verified Status?
Unmatched Durability
We go beyond standard industry requirements. Aimed to provide resilience against moisture intrusion, air leakage, and thermal bridging.
Risk & Liability Mitigation
Protect your investment from day one. Our stringent verification protocols assist in reducing the risk of post-construction litigation, costly contractor callbacks, and premature envelope failures.
Quality Assurance
Independent verification provides investors, owners, and developers with undeniable proof of a high-performance building envelope.
The Certification Path
Design & Plan Review
Our team performs a comprehensive review of architectural drawings to identify potential envelope failures and optimize details before ground is broken.
Field Observations & Testing
We conduct rigorous on-site observations and standardized performance testing (water infiltration, air barrier continuity) throughout the construction phase.
Issuance of JEC Verified
Upon successfully meeting all stringent envelope requirements, the project is officially awarded the prestigious "JEC Verified", validating its elite status.
JEC Verified: Ensuring Better-Built Buildings
-
Essential Confidence
Establishes the foundational verification of a project’s building envelope. This includes up to 3 visual quality assurance visits, including review of installation practices, and confirmation that materials and assemblies meet manufacturer requirements. We review continuity of waterproofing assemblies, flashing integration, and general workmanship.
This level ensures the project meets baseline expectations for a durable enclosure. It includes up to 3 visual quality assurance site visits throughout construction.
-
Enhanced Protection
Adds performance verification through targeted water infiltration testing and system-specific checks. This includes spray testing of window assemblies (AAMA methods), WRB and transition detailing evaluation, and general installation. The goal is to confirm the building envelope performs reliably under standard environmental loads, reducing the risk of leaks or early-life failures.
This level includes no less than 4 visual quality assurance visits and no less than 1 round of window testing
-
Ultimate Envelope Assurance
Provides top-tier review of the building envelope through enhanced quality checks and performance-based testing. This includes whole-building air leakage testing, water penetration testing of windows, and may include plan review prior to construction to confirm assemblies are functioning as designed. The focus is on delivering elevated confidence and long-term performance for owners, architects, and contractors.
This level includes bi-weekly visual quality assurance visits during active installation of waterproofing and cladding, no less than 2 rounds of window testing, and 1 round of blower-door air leakage testing achieving a 5.0 ACH50 or less.
