ICD-705-adherent SCIF & SAPF construction

Your Project.
Your Vision. Our Solution.

Strict adherence to ICD-705 and disciplined construction that helps secure spaces move through inspection and accreditation without avoidable rework.

What secure buyers are buying

Strict ICD-705 adherence. A faster path to accreditation.

SCIFs and SAPFs protect sensitive national-security work. For the intelligence community, Department of Defense programs, and cleared defense contractors, the essential outcome is a space built correctly to the approved criteria and ready for accrediting review.

ICD-705 requirements reach across the entire protective system: construction assemblies, acoustic performance, doors and hardware, penetrations, technical systems, inspection evidence, and closeout records. Envision coordinates those interfaces early so deficiencies are found before concealment—not during final review, when correction is slower and more disruptive.

01

Acoustic isolation

Specified assemblies and STC performance depend on continuity across walls, ceilings, doors, ducts, joints, and every penetration.

02

RF & TEMPEST coordination

Where the approved criteria require countermeasures, specialist shielding, seams, grounding interfaces, penetrations, and testing are coordinated as one system.

03

Perimeter & penetration control

Mechanical, electrical, fire-protection, data, and structural crossings are planned, approved, inspected, and documented before concealment.

04

Access-control integration

Secure doors, hardware, alarms, power, egress, monitoring, and adjacent construction must work together without compromising the protective envelope.

05

Accreditation-ready records

Submittals, inspection evidence, concealed-work documentation, test results, deficiency logs, and as-builts create a traceable turnover package.

Why the right secure builder matters

Accreditation risk is construction risk.

A missed seam, an uncoordinated penetration, or an incomplete inspection record can trigger destructive investigation, rework, retesting, and another review cycle when the program needs an accredited space.

Failure at the finish

Deficiencies found during final testing can reopen completed assemblies and delay the accrediting review.

Rework multiplies cost

Corrective work affects finishes, technical systems, specialist testing, and adjacent operations—not only the original detail.

Accreditation stalls

Incomplete evidence or unresolved deficiencies can prevent the accrediting authority from completing a confident review.

Fluency changes the outcome

A team that understands the standard plans interfaces and evidence before concealment, when correction is still controlled.

Why Envision

Responsive when decisions matter. Reliable under inspection. Knowledgeable before work begins.

Secure work rewards clarity, follow-through, and command of the standard. Envision supports those behaviors with veteran-led preconstruction, cleared personnel, and direct control of critical interior work.

A responsive team gives fast, useful answers

Questions do not sit in an inbox while work waits. Envision’s project leadership picks up the phone, brings the right people into the conversation, and gives owners and security teams a clear answer or a defined path to one.

Reliable work holds up when it is inspected

Self-performed framing, drywall, and painting provide direct control over workmanship and corrective action. Concealed work is verified, and deficiencies are closed with evidence.

Knowledgeable leadership knows ICD-705 before mobilization

Veteran-led preconstruction studies the approved criteria, develops detailed estimates, reviews constructability, and traces interfaces across trades before walls close.

Built on trust

“Envision anticipated the issues that usually become field delays. Their team made difficult decisions straightforward.”
