Firm Profile
TBS Services, Inc. has been providing specialized architectural consultation since its
inception in 1996. The primary focus of the practice is the design and evaluation of
building enclosure systems for both new and existing buildings; as well as the
assessment, investigation, analysis, and rehabilitation of existing building enclosure
systems. We have remained true to our heritage while consistently enhancing our
expertise and experience to keep pace with the changing, and increasingly

Enterprise, with a staff of 10, operating from our sole office in Haddon Heights, NJ.

“Building Enclosure – the combination of architectural components:
roofing, waterproofing, flashing, and exterior cladding systems that act
cohesively as a barrier, protecting the interior from water intrusion.”

TBS is one of the oldest architectural firms in our region specializing in the exterior
enclosure. We provide our clients – owners, architects, and construction managers –
with the resources to identify and resolve building enclosure deficiencies for all existing
building types. Our services range from the assessment phase, through documentation,
and construction completion.

For our clients involved with new buildings, we provide building enclosure
commissioning services, design evaluation, and constructability counsel from the
conceptual phase through the completion of construction.
