New Construction Consulting Services

This process starts before construction begins. Our DPR considers industry standards, code minimums, client directives, and budget constraints based on years of experience. We provide written comments regarding water penetration control, water vapor accumulation, condensation control, building air leakage, and other issues related to building enclosure. In addition to written comments, we provide suggested detailed modifications on the
drawings or complete example details for easy review and incorporation by the project's design professional.

Our process consists of a review of submittals, including comments on products, redline drawings, opinions on the systems submitted, their compliance with the 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 are active and productive construction team members as we help identify and document non-compliant items. 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 prove through industry-standard tests to determine if construction meets design standards. We offer various field testing options from window water testing, EFVM, Roof Uplift, Air Barrier testing, and more!
