  The external building envelope serves as the first line of defense against environmental exposure while also contributing significantly to a structure’s safety, durability, and overall performance. External building elements, including façades, cladding systems, balconies, parapets, sunshades, and architectural features, are constantly subjected to weather, thermal movement, pollution, and mechanical stress. Over time, these factors can compromise structural integrity if not properly monitored and maintained. Ensuring the long-term integrity of these elements is therefore a critical responsibility for building owners, facility managers, and industry professionals. In dense urban environments, where buildings are closely spaced and public exposure is high, failures of external elements can pose serious safety risks. A structured and proactive approach to assessment, inspection, and maintenance is essential to prevent deterioration from escalating into hazardous conditions. Underst...
