J2 Building Consultants

We are building doctors. We diagnose the problem, prescribe repairs, and lead the treatment process for your sick building. J2 Building Consultants was founded by Jens Johanson in 2007 to guide forensic analysis and building envelope repairs for homeowners associations and building owners. From locations in Washington, Oregon, and Utah, J2 has managed projects across the country. J2's core mission is to offer help, hope, and happiness to owners of sick buildings. Sick building symptoms play a vital role in letting you know problems exist and in helping our team diagnose, prescribe, and treat the underlying problems.

Founded in 2007, J2 has helped over 1,100 multifamily communities and commercial owners heal their sick buildings, which means our services have impacted the lives of tens of thousands of unit owners. We are a team of engineers, architects, designers, project managers, inspectors, and administrators who will guide your repair project to make sure it gets done on time and within budget. We know buildings. We understand what it takes to manage, maintain, and repair them to keep people safe. We've become known for being the "Building Doctors, " healing sick buildings to make our communities healthier.

An Envelope Study by J2 Building Consultants is a check-up for your building, it provides an ongoing, baseline record of how your building is performing. A common mistake among building owners, associations, and management is thinking that a building's reserve study or capital replacement plan will keep them informed about building function. The reality is that staying updated on the health of your building requires regular analysis of the building's envelope, or the barrier between indoors and outside.

We are passionate about construction. Several of our team members have construction backgrounds and we know what it's like to receive designs that look good on paper but are challenging to build. We see what can go wrong if plans aren't followed and corners are cut. Let our building consultants provide you with an easy-to-execute design and handle the client coordination so you can focus on your trade. We will find the complicated leaks, diagnose the problems, produce the repair documents, and provide you with a streamlined project allowing you to do what you do best - construct!

Do you have a client with a case involving construction defects or are you defending a client that has been named in a construction claim? As Construction Defects and Claims Consultants, we work to understand the purpose of the assignment and investigation for forensic analysis. We get to the bottom of the issue and provide expert witness services to assist with your case. J2 Building Consultants has worked for the owner, the contractor, the subs, and even the carriers on multifamily, commercial, and single-family residential structures.

At J2 Building Consultants, one of our eight core values is hospitality.
