At R Cladding Consulting & Engineering, our work is driven by purpose, precision, and accountability. Since founding the firm in 2022, I’ve made it our mission to provide clients with expert guidance on all aspects of the building envelope—from façade inspections to code compliance and long-term performance strategies.
Before launching R Cladding, I had the privilege of serving as Regional Vice President at a leading consulting engineering firm, managing high-stakes projects and client relationships across the East Coast. That experience reinforced what I believe to be true today: successful projects begin with technical excellence and end with lasting client trust.
As a licensed Professional Engineer in multiple states and a Qualified Exterior Wall Inspector (QEWI) in New York City, I hold myself and my team to the highest standards of safety, compliance, and quality. We combine deep industry knowledge with hands-on field experience to help owners, developers, and architects make informed, strategic decisions about their buildings.
Thank you for trusting R Cladding to be part of your project. We’re committed to delivering clear solutions, strong partnerships, and results you can build on.
