New Construction
On new development and construction projects, we collaborate with design teams to provide the explicit contract documents and coordinate with various team members to analyze pertinent submittals and assist with RFI correspondence. We confront challenges, track, and ensure disputes are resolved and provide useful feedback throughout the mock-up and construction phases. After installations are complete, we employ industry-standard testing methods to confirm and verify the performance meets the desired criteria. We also provide a guide for how to maintain your building components throughout their service life.
