Details are Key
Wall and roof assemblies are becoming more complex each year. A typical commercial building contains several facades and many more transitions from materials and openings. Construction defects are often associated with material and system transitions and can frequently be traced back to the design details. Unfortunately, the contractor is the party most often responsible for the repair.
When conducted professionally, a third party review leads to a broad level of communication between designers and contractors and a more successful project.
The construction industry is changing and much of the responsibilities for design details have shifted from the architects and engineers to the contractors. Many contractors are taking a proactive approach and enlisting building enclosure consultants to review the design and communicate to the architects potential failures and inconsistencies in their design.
Apollo BBC’s experts regularly assist contractors in a variety of ways to ensure that their project is successful and to provide a measure of liability limitation.
Our consultants lend our field based experience and our technical design expertise to provide an unmatched perspective of the construction processes including coordination issues, conflicts, and design deficiencies.
