ABOUT US

Joseph Daniels worked in remodel construction for several years. He wanted to begin working in the Architectural field and began studying Architecture at UC Irvine. When searching for a company to learn AutoCAD drafting to further his skills, he landed at a Roof Consulting firm. After mastering the CAD drafting and becoming a consultant in the building envelope industry, he set off with a partner to start D 7 Consulting in 1993. Since that time, D 7 has been involved in all facets of the Building Envelope Consulting business from Roof Evaluations and Replacements to Design, Construction Administration and Quality Assurance for some of the largest projects in the country.

I am a manufactures rep for Roofing and Waterproofing. I have had the pleasure of working with D 7 Consulting, Joe Daniels, and John Wilson for over 12 years now. D 7 Consulting is what I consider one of the best, if not THE BEST, roofing/waterproofing consultant within the United States.

D 7 is the first TEAM I think of when an architect or client asks me for a third-party consultant for any roofing/waterproofing project.
Steve Nakada
D 7 Consulting has been our Waterproofing Consultant since 1990 and is involved in all phases of all our projects; from preparation of preliminary details and outline specifications, through development of our construction documents, and D 7’s disciplined oversight during construction administration. We have worked with D 7 on a range of projects, from high-rise multifamily with private developers to a complex subterranean inter-modal facility with a public transit authority. Rarely does one find a consulting firm, especially waterproofing, whose strengths encompasses all aspects of work from design through construction. The holistic, hands-on approach of the President, Joe Daniels and his in-house team of experts are relentless in resolving building envelope and waterproofing issues. It’s this unique culture of knowledge and service that sets D 7 Consulting apart from all other firms and why we continue to seek their expertise.
