The Building Envelope is a structure’s first line of defence, acting as a barrier between the external environment and interior spaces. It comprises several critical components that ensure structural integrity, energy efficiency, weather resistance, and fire safety.
Our integrated divisions, service solution expertise and knowledgeable people deliver a building envelope design to completion solution. As a recognised and trusted building envelope contractor, we continually support BSA Duty Holders, Architects, Surveyors, Property Owners, and Managers with leading technical knowledge and capability to create a safe, sustainable and commercially viable property structure.
We continually focus on a methodology and processes that align with The Building Safety Act, delivering building performance to enhance the safety, aesthetics, energy efficiency and compliance of every building envelope project we support.
FAÇADE ENGINEERING
We specialise in integrating high-performance roof waterproofing, drainage, and thermal insulation to enhance building efficiency and deliver structural integrity, sustainability, and compliance.
Our bespoke roofing diagnostic assessments, including thermographic drones, moisture mapping, electronic leak detection, acoustic, U-value and condensation analysis identify risks and ensure regulatory compliance, helping property owners and managers meet Building Safety Act standards. Whether it’s large-scale industrial roofing, schools or specialist residential solutions, we provide the expertise to protect assets and occupants.

Key Elements of a Building Envelope
Our Key Building Envelope Compliance Solutions
CONTRACT & COMMERCIAL GOVERNANCE
Effective project delivery starts with robust commercial governance. Our Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) framework enables strategic planning, risk mitigation, and cost analysis. Through technical surveys and feasibility assessments, we develop commercially viable proposals that align with client objectives, ensuring clarity, compliance, and financial control from the outset. We de-risk projects by integrating contract governance and pre-construction expertise and create a clear roadmap for successful remediation and refurbishment.
Building envelope remediation requires a strategic balance of safety, compliance, and commercial viability. At Starfish Construction, we deliver fully integrated solutions that mitigate risk, ensure regulatory compliance, and protect long-term asset value for our clients.
In parallel, the UK government has committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, with an interim target of a 68% reduction by 2030 compared to the 1990 levels. The Net Zero Strategy emphasises decarbonising all sectors of the economy, including the built environment.
For the construction industry, this entails adopting energy-efficient building envelope solutions, utilising sustainable materials, and integrating renewable energy technologies. Implementing these strategies aligns with environmental objectives, enhances building performance, and reduces operational costs, contributing to long-term asset value.
