The following is a small sampling of our experience in commissioning building enclosure systems for projects. Other areas of our client base include national and local developers and many architectural firms located in North Florida and Southeast Georgia.
Roof Consulting services include a client-consultant scope review to refine schedules and budgets for each project. Services will always include an initial field evaluation to determine corrective actions required.
Limited destructive and/or non-destructive testing will be performed as needed to determine the roof composition and condition of the full roof system. As needed, drawings and specifications will be provided along with bidding/contract assistance and contract administration during work progress.
Facade/Waterproofing Consulting services include a client-consultant scope review to refine schedules and budgets for each project. Services will always include an initial field evaluation to determine corrective actions required.
Limited destructive and/or non-destructive testing will be performed as needed to determine the exterior wall composition and condition of the full wall system. As needed, drawings and specifications will be provided along with bidding/contract assistance and contract administration during work progress.
Building Envelope Commissioning is the process by which the design and constructed performance of building envelope materials, component assemblies and systems are validated to meet defined objectives and requirements of the project, as defined by the Owner.
The building envelope includes all exterior systems separating the interior environment from the exterior including exterior walls, storefront, curtain wall, fenestration, cladding, roof systems, below grade waterproofing and slabs on grade.
Diagnostics and testing determine the harmful effects of damaged components of a building envelope system. Knowledge of multiple methods and standards are required to fully evaluate the performance of a full building envelope system. This knowledge is refined through experience consulting and designing building envelope systems and is critical to ensure performance of these systems and determining issues of existing structures.
It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
Exterior Insulation and Finish System (EIFS) is a specialty envelope system that can both be very high performing and potentially problematic. During the design and construction of EIFS, procuring the assistance of a Certified EIFS Inspector is critical to ensuring the proper design and installation of EIFS given the potential issues that can arise over the life of a structure. A thorough inspection of each phase of the EIFS installation should be conducted and documented with approved checklists and submitted as part of the project closeout.
Roof systems are a complex series of individual components that must work together in unison as a system. An in-depth understanding of the design of the system being installed is an essential aspect of ensuring a roof is installed correctly. Designers generally only have capacity to visit the jobsite to review the roof construction occasionally and this is where full-time roof observation comes into play. Registered Roof Observers provide the in-depth knowledge of a designer with the field expertise to provide inspection of the roof during the entire time it is being installed ensuring it is constructed to its full design intent.
CTS practices in the areas of specifying, bidding, project administration of various building enclosure, construction materials testing, and industrial hygiene projects including project submittal review.
