The Doctor for Buildings. Not the Contractor.

Building Science Advisors exists because the building industry has a structural conflict of interest. Every specialist who responds to a building failure has a financial stake in a particular repair. We do not. We diagnose root causes, define corrective actions, and verify outcomes — without selling equipment, performing remediation, or profiting from the scope of any repair.

The Principal

Donald Brodsky, CBS — Principal Consultant & Forensic Building Scientist

Donald Brodsky has spent four decades diagnosing why buildings fail and what it actually costs to fix them. His career began in commercial refrigeration — an immersion in thermodynamics and mechanical system performance that became the foundation for everything that followed. He has managed thousands of complex remediation projects, specialised in concrete moisture vapor diagnostics, and founded Flash Air Care LLC where he moved beyond surface cleaning to diagnosing the humidity imbalances and HVAC design failures driving contamination. He founded Building Science Advisors on one principle: the firm that diagnoses the problem should never profit from fixing it.

A multidisciplinary team of building scientists, advisors, and technical specialists helping owners diagnose root causes, define corrective actions, and verify outcomes.

The Diagnostician and the Repair Contractor Should Never Be the Same Person.

In medicine, the physician who diagnoses a condition does not also own the pharmacy, the surgical centre, and the rehabilitation clinic. That separation exists because a diagnostician with a financial stake in the treatment cannot be trusted to give an unbiased diagnosis. The same logic applies to buildings — and almost nowhere in the building industry is it observed. When an HVAC contractor assesses a humidity problem, they benefit from selling equipment. When a remediation company evaluates mold, they profit from the size of the scope. Building Science Advisors was founded to be the exception: a firm whose only financial interest is an accurate diagnosis and a lasting solution.

The Unbiased Covenant

No Equipment Sales. No Remediation Profits.

Future Ready Icon
No Referral Fees. No Conflicts of Interest.
Building Science Advisors does not sell or install equipment, perform remediation or construction work, or profit from the scope of any corrective action. Our fee is fixed. Our finding is our only product.
Client Centric Approach Icon
Client-Centric Approach
Building Science Advisors does not accept referral fees, kickbacks, or financial consideration of any kind from vendors, contractors, or remediation companies. Every engagement is governed by the Unbiased Covenant — a contractual clause, not a policy statement.
Innovation Growth
Every Engagement Ends With a Verified Outcome.
We return after corrective work is complete to commission the outcome — verifying the building performs as prescribed. The engagement is not complete until the result is confirmed and documented for the owner’s record.
