Building Envelope Nearing Completion

Recon Independent Assessments has been involved in the project from Design Review through Construction. By providing periodic Quality Control Visits and Consulting through the building process, Recon helped head off problems and identified areas that required special attention to ensure a watertight delivery.

Components covered included curtain wall, composite metal panels, roofing, skylights, terra cotta facade and sealants.

Its always a pleasure seeing a building take shape and march along towards completion.

Recon Independent Assessments provides Building Envelope Consulting and Field Testing throughout the United States.

Condo Renovation Window Replacement Field Quality Control

Coastal areas experience higher incidences of wind driven rain.  Code requirements along the coast require window replacements that have higher performance ratings.  The replacement project needs to be field tested prior to project completion to confirm successful installation that prevents water penetration.

Field testing protocols using the ASTM E 1105 standard are Recon Independent Assessments specialty.

A recent South Florida project engaged Recon to perform testing to satisfy the project specifications that required field testing.

Invest In Your Reputation - A fifteen minute phone call...

A lot is going on.  Scheduling deliveries, coordinating trades, managing RFI's, the list is endless...

Fortify Your Reputation

Recon Independent Assessments can review your design documents and details before the first component of the building envelope is set in place.  We've done it numerous times for a long list of clients.  We always see a few things that either need a bit of clarity or brings the detail into the spotlight where it will get special attention when it is executed.

During construction, Recon's visits are designed to examine the construction from a perspective that focuses on avoiding water intrusion issues where different components intersect and join.  Its what we do.  Unlike the Project Team, our focus is singular and its where we shine.  In turn, the project and ultimately your reputation are burnished; laying the groundwork for a solid reputation for delivering the watertight building envelope that is desired.  

The Reputation Insurance provided by Recon Independent Assessments is affordable and generally a nominal expense to the overall budget.
