What is the difference between standard construction and experimental construction, and why is that important?

Standard construction adheres to tested and certified methods, ensuring predictable functionality and often comes with warranties when approved materials are installed according to published guidelines. It relies on established criteria for substrates and applications, providing predictable performance and lifecycles.

Experimental construction, on the other hand, involves untested and unproven techniques, materials, or designs that push the boundaries of traditional practice. This approach comes with uncertainties such as untested durability and lifecycle, potential unknown costs, and unknown performance under various conditions.

California Consultants will ensure that your construction project not only meets industry standards but also upholds the highest standard of care, emphasizing the importance of purposeful and intentional due diligence.
