Reduce Total Cost of Ownership
Take control of long-term costs by making smarter investments today.
At Technical Assurance, we believe in a simplified, programmatic approach to building envelope asset management. Our team of professionals will help you implement a sustainability program to:
Reduce emergency spending and reactive repairs
Extend the time between capital renewals/ replacements
Lower your total cost of ownership
Take Control of Long-Term Costs
Most facility budgets bleed through the cracks of short-term decision-making. Emergency fixes, energy inefficiencies, and reactive maintenance all drive up long-term spend. Cascading damage means higher repair scope, more emergency mobilization costs, and often unplanned downtime, all of which push lifecycle costs well above proactive planning. Our approach focuses on minimizing hidden costs by helping you invest in the right strategy, at the right time.
Rethink What It Means to Manage Your Building Envelope
With expert diagnostics, system planning, and data-backed strategies, we help you extend asset life, improve performance, and reduce total lifecycle costs.
Understand What’s Driving Your Long-Term Spend
Common (and costly) contributors to inflated TCO:
- Unplanned emergency repairs and crisis-response budgets
- Undetected moisture issues, thermal inefficiencies, or poor detailing
- Deferred maintenance compounding into major capital projects
- Lack of asset data to support capital planning
- Frequent change orders or warranty conflicts
A run-to-failure strategy can lead to two to five times higher lifecycle costs than a proactive envelope management plan.

Our Solution:
Strategic Building Envelope Management
Envelopes protect all other building systems. When they fail, the ripple effects are expensive (structural damage, mold remediation, operational disruption).
We help reduce total cost of ownership by addressing your envelope challenges at both the project and programmatic levels.
Project-Level Strategies
Building Envelope Commissioning (BECx)
Ensure envelope systems are properly designed, detailed, and installed to perform as intended—reducing rework and warranty risk.
Forensic Investigation & Diagnostics
Identify root-cause performance issues before they escalate into costly failures.
Design Review & QA/QC Support
Catch errors early during planning or construction to avoid long-term liability.
Programmatic Strategy:
