Welcome to Building Diagnostics Group
Building Diagnostics Group, Inc. (BDG) provides consulting and testing services to assist in identifying building envelope deficiencies in multi-family, commercial, and residential properties. Our clients include architects, engineers, contractors, government agencies, attorneys, realtors, and other related professionals. Based in Atlanta, BDG provides these services throughout the United States.
Our expertise is in multi-family and commercial building envelope evaluations. Using our proven inspection techniques, along with high-resolution infrared thermography (IR) equipment, we can rapidly identify costly hidden damage behind most stucco systems. This inspection provides the owner or purchaser with an accurate understanding of the building’s structural integrity so informed decisions can be made. BDG has performed services on more than 300+ multi-family and commercial properties over the last 8 years. Our inspections have identified significant hidden water intrusions that have cost from $2 to $5 million dollars in underlying wooden structural repairs.
BDG also provides second and third party water and air infiltration field-testing. We perform complete ASTM and AAMA testing procedures for new construction quality assurance testing or forensic water intrusion diagnostic services. Our forensic testing services actually recreate reported water intrusions so the exact failure point can be identified for accurate repairs. All of our highly specialized testing equipment conforms to industry standards that provide accurate test results. With our quick deployment, we can meet most deadlines.
We routinely perform these services for many Fortune 500 companies. BDG focuses on the Group approach to your projects. The word group in our name is our commitment to meet the needs of your project. We have working relationships with many qualified individuals throughout the United States.
