Our Services
New Construction Consulting Services
Over the years, we have worked with our clients to develop a process for third-party involvement in new construction projects. This process provides owners, contractors, and developers with the best value and benefits while developing a property. Our approach is comprised of four phases: Design Peer Review, Construction Consulting, Quality Assurance Site Visits, and Building Enclosure Testing.
Our Design Peer Review occurs before construction begins, focusing on industry standards, client directives, and budget constraints. We provide concise, actionable feedback on critical issues like water penetration, vapor control, condensation, and air leakage, along with suggested modifications directly on the drawings. This collaborative approach ensures that potential building enclosure issues are addressed early, enhancing the overall design and performance of the project.
Construction Consulting
Our process consists of a review of submittals and other documents concerning construction documents and other project requirements. We are not distant consultants but active project team members. We use the consulting budget at your request to attend meetings or provide guidance on various building enclosure issues as the project progresses.
Field observations are the most significant benefit to any project as they ensure the design becomes a reality in the field. We have vast experience working with various construction teams to ensure they install the exterior envelope as the plans specify. We also identify and solve issues as they arise during construction. While on-site we actively and productively help identify and document issues that arise in the work. After completing our site visit, digital field notes are distributed to the team so corrections can begin immediately.
Visual observation can only tell you so much, so we work with project teams to determine if construction meets design expectations through industry-standardized tests. We offer various field testing options from window water testing, EFVM, Roof Uplift, Air Barrier testing, and more!
