The W.J. Higgins Vision
As a quality assurance expert for an aluminum window manufacturer, founder Wes Higgins spent years investigating failing building exteriors. Traditional construction methods, he realized, provided no solution for this inherent problem. In 1988 while participating in a project incorporating European rainscreen technology, Wes discovered that this technology provided some of the solutions to the wall cavity problems he had encountered.
This experience prompted further exploration of “healthy wall” solutions including the rainscreen principle. Recognizing the need for a resource for creating exterior walls with enhanced integrity and longevity, W.J. Higgins & Associates was created in 1994 to provide those design and collaboration services.
An Eye on the Future
Today, WJH&A continues its commitment to excellence. With direct access to current technological research and training from the most renowned window and cladding universities of Europe, forensic investigation experiences and information gained on-site at European and Canadian job sites, W.J. Higgins & Associates is at the forefront of technological developments, maintaining the expertise needed to design quality exterior wall assemblies that last the life of your building.
