Commercial Building Facade and Building Envelope Assessments

We’ve performed hundreds of façade assessments and inspections, and we are here to help you maintain your building’s façade in order to remain watertight. Maybe you’ve had a notice sent from the City of Pittsburgh to satisfy the five-year façade inspection requirement of International Property Maintenance Code Section 304.1.1. The City Council amended the code for façades to be inspected every five years.

Commercial Building Facade and Building Envelope Repair and Construction Management

Once the façade assessment is complete, many times some level of façade repairs are required if the building façade was not previously under an ongoing maintenance program. We can provide design services for the façade repairs, coordination with submitting the repair documents to the city for permit, coordination with bidding the work to façade repair contractors, evaluation of the repair bids, and coordination and project management of the façade repair program. Whether you are a hand-on owner with your own project management team, or would like to be as hands-off as possible, we can tailor our level of service to your needs.

Parking Garage Facility Assessments

Do you have a parking facility which you are looking to purchase, have recently purchased, or have owned for some time without any significant maintenance program undertaken? If so, we can help. We can assess the parking garage and provide a written report which details any deficiencies and associated repairs required. Our report includes a budget estimate so that you can plan ahead and forecast for maintenance repairs over the next year, 5-year or 10-year timeframe.

Parking Garage Repair Design and Construction Management

Similar to the façade repair program, we can provide a completely hands-off owner’s representative experience where we take care of nearly everything, or we can serve as the technical representative and let your team handle the project management. The choice is yours.
