We worked with Encon Associates in order to conduct daylight modeling and secure some points for LEED and BREEAM certification – the services were conducted in a very professional manner, in time and with an affordable budget.
They were responsive with regards to our special requests related to additional paper work, required for a taxation Russian agency. Overall, my experience with the consultancy had been very positive. I would not hesitate to purchase their services again and I would recommend Encon Associates to our partners and clients.
