A third party independent testing firm (Recon) is generally used to validate that windows, doors, storefronts, and curtain wall assemblies are installed to meet the project specifications (Division 8 Installation Quality Control) and product manufacturers’ installation requirements. Field testing for water penetration will determine the quality of work of subcontractors and ensure their accountability and will also ensure that proper specifications were followed during the construction process. Typically these services are for quality assurance or new building commissioning. On new buildings, we perform baseline water testing to determine if fenestrations (windows/doors/penetrations) are properly flashed and sealed to prevent water infiltrations.
