  1. Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates Solutions for the Built World

  2. WJE Overview Founded more than half a century ago, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc. (WJE), is an interdisciplinary engineering, architecture, and materials science firm specializing in delivering practical, innovative, and technically sound solutions across all areas of new and existing construction. Solutions for the Built World

  3. “Ask the Structure” Jack Janney’sstraightforward advice continues to guide WJE professionals today. As materials, technologies, and structures change, our fundamental philosophy remains the same: developing better solutions based on an accurate diagnosis of each structure’s unique problems. Since 1956, WJE has brought a hands-on technical approach, comprehensive testing capabilities, and an enthusiasm for problem solving to each new project. Solutions for the Built World

  4. WJE Advantage We have successfully completed investigative, testing, and repair projects for virtually every type of construction material, structural system, and architectural component.
