Independent facade access consulting

Facade Access Consulting and Fall Protection Engineering for New and Existing Buildings

Highline Consulting advises building owners, architects, developers, and property teams on facade access, fall protection, OPOS, and project-specific documentation for work at height. Every recommendation is shaped by worker safety, code compliance, and the real operating demands of the building.

Core services

One firm for consulting, design, and documentation

Some projects need an early assessment. Others need coordinated design support or the documents required to operate and maintain the building safely. Highline helps clients move from uncertainty to a workable path with clearer scope and next steps.

Design

Integrate access strategy into the building, not around it

Design support helps teams coordinate facade access and fall protection with architecture, operations, and long-term building use while there is still room to do it well.

Why teams bring Highline in

Independent judgment matters when access decisions affect safety, operations, and owner exposure

Facade access and fall protection are not standalone add-ons. They affect roof planning, maintenance reality, contractor safety, liability exposure, and the long-term maintainability of the building itself.

Highline's role is to help teams make those decisions earlier and with better technical clarity, whether the work starts with a survey, a new building, a retrofit need, or a documentation requirement such as OPOS.

Led by Sean Branecki, Principal and Cal/OSHA-approved SIT Surveyor (SIT License #40), Highline gives clients direct senior involvement and independent, manufacturer-neutral judgment throughout the engagement.

Where projects usually start

Common ways building owners, architects, developers, and project teams enter the work

Projects usually arrive through one of a few predictable paths: early coordination on a new building, retrofit questions on an existing property, a broader California search for the right consultant, or a need for operating documentation and defensible procedures.

Design

New construction projects

Coordinate facade access and fall protection early enough to protect both design intent and long-term maintenance needs.

Design

Existing building retrofit

Review existing conditions and define a retrofit path for buildings that need safer, more workable access systems.

Regional

California project support

Support teams looking for facade access guidance before the project has narrowed into a single deliverable or service page.

Documentation

OPOS and operational records

Translate strategy into operating procedures, plans of service, and project records owners and operators can rely on.

Selected clients and project teams
