Building Envelope Success By Recon Independent Assessments

Create A Culture of Quality



The skilled trades that assemble the components of your next project should be well aware of the importance of delivering a watertight building envelope.  Their reputation, as well as yours will be put to the test by Mother Nature after the owner occupies the building.

To ensure the success of the building envelope, Recon Independent Assessments is available to provide candid observations and RFIs to your design team well before the first footer is dug or concrete is poured.

By addressing details in the early phase of a project, expectations are set regarding quality and the importance of getting it right the first time.  There are no winners when warranty claims are required.

Once the best design effort is complete and work begins in earnest, things may develop on site that call into question how systems tie together despite the details that exist.  There will also be unforeseen issues that are borne of scheduling or changes uplink in the construction.  Recon Independent Assessments provides QC visits to the site to focus on the prevention of water penetration through the envelope.

Recon personnel will often see issues that are easily solvable once trades openly discuss them and an RFI is generated to gain approval from the design professionals.

Periodic visits of this kind keep the quality focused and address issues in real time, not in hind site, which can become costly and impact schedules.

As systems begin to integrate, testing in the field confirms everyones efforts were successful.  Its not only recommended as a matter of due diligence, most often its required by the specifications.




Recon Independent Assessments has seen a marked improvement in successful testing on projects where the culture of quality is implemented from the design phase and carried through until the testing begins.
