Condo Window Replacement Quality Control

Condominium Owners and the Board of Directors that are charged with guiding and overseeing a window replacement project are not always up to speed with the quality control measures that should be specified on a replacement project to ensure the best results.

If you are on the board of a Condominium Association or are a concerned owner that knows your building is going to be renovated, make certain that third party testing is going to be included on your project.

Demand it.  You'll be living with the results.  The value of your unit depends upon it.

For more information on what needs to be included, contact Recon Independent Assessments.  We will review your project specs prior to the project being put out to bid to help ensure your investment is protected.

Third Party Field Quality Control Testing & Consulting

Recon Independent Assessments is called on often to help locate latent issues in the building envelope that have allowed for water penetration.

For the most part, sealants often play the dominant role in being the proximate cause of an envelope failure.

Once the  possible source(s) have been identified, a remedial plan must be executed to repair the breached envelope.

After the repair, the most critical part of the remedial plan should take place, re-testing the subject areas to confirm the repair worked and the suspected source was the only source.  Often times multiple sources can only be determined as each overlying cause is repaired.

Recon uses a systematic, thoughtful and purposed approach to ongoing intrusion issues. By not rule in or out any possibility we feel confident that finding the source of failure can be achieved. We approach the building envelope suspecting anything and everything has failed and develop an investigative process that requires each part of the facade to perform.

Coastal Healthcare Project AAMA 501.2 & ASTM E 1105

Two days of testing along the coast of Georgia involved providing AAMA 501.2 Field Quality Control Checks on multiple windows on a health care facility renovation project.

Additional windows were tested to the ASTM E 1105 standard.

Field Testing Division 8 work is always a good idea, along the coast, its imperative.  Mother Nature will surely provide opportunities to test a system, so get out in front of her and test during construction to ensure the owner has a watertight building envelope before your reputation is tested too.
