Building Envelope Maintenance Manuals (BEMMs) are documents that provide guidelines for the upkeep, inspection, and repair of a building’s roof, walls, windows, doors, and foundation, otherwise known as the building envelope.  These manuals help property owners, facility managers, and maintenance teams ensure the longevity and performance of the building envelope, a vital component which protects the building’s interior space from moisture, energy loss, inclement weather events, debris, pests, etc.

A BEMM can greatly help you:

• Prevent Costly Repairs – Early detection of issues reduces major repair costs.
• Extend Building Life – Regular maintenance prolongs the durability of materials and systems.
• Enhance Energy Efficiency – Proper sealing and insulation prevent heat loss and moisture ingress.
• Ensure Safety & Compliance – Maintain structural integrity and adherence to building codes.

One of the services that BC Building Science offers to new homeowners is the Building Envelope Maintenance Manual, a valuable tool to help new owners understand their envelope maintenance responsibilities.  We are also pleased to offer a complimentary online meeting with a building’s Strata Council to both review the manual and offer an opportunity to ask questions.
