THE ONE-STOP SHOP FOR ALL YOUR BUILDING ENCLOSURE NEEDS
As the built environment becomes increasingly complex, the demand for specialized building enclosure consultants like CA Consultants has grown exponentially. We have a background and expertise in across several areas: architectural engineering, building science, and forensic investigation. This capability offers a unique blend of expertise to our clients that’s hard to find elsewhere.
As building enclosure consultants, we are tasked with addressing a wide range of challenges, from the design of sustainable, energy-efficient, and water-tight enclosure systems to the investigation and remediation of existing structures.
A waterproofing consultant specializes in building envelope design, specifications, and quality assurance, ensuring predictable performance and lifecycles of the building envelope systems.
In our experience, projects that do not take the building envelope and enclosure systems seriously from design through execution do not achieve watertight performance.
Addressing potential issues early in the design phase can prevent costly fixes later. It’s not unusual for a $1,000 flashing component to cost $100,000 to fully mitigate if not installed correctly with the right detailing, material choices, transitions, fasteners, primers, and adhesion. The damages could be rather extensive.
It’s unreasonable to expect an architect, without specific experience and engineering disciplines represented, to design and execute a watertight building envelope correctly. Just as a general contractor must hire trades with professional training and at least five years of experience on projects of similar size, scope, and complexity, the architect must engage professional disciplines with relevant experience. Ownership should not expect the architect to design the building envelope independently. In our forensic water intrusion investigation division, more often than not, we see new construction residential projects are not watertight upon completion.
What these projects have in common is the absence of expert representation during the design and execution of the waterproofing and/or water management disciplines.
If you believe you already have representation, California consultants can still perform a peer review to identify any errors or omissions in the design of the building envelope system.
