SGH performed a condition assessment of the facade with punched aluminum-framed windows and primarily clad with architecturally exposed concrete, and the cantilevering balconies on floors fourteen through forty-eight. Highlights of our work include:

• Overseeing a drone survey of the building facades, including obtaining all necessary permissions from the City of Chicago
• Surveying select balconies and other elevations
• Developing a photograph database with information collected from the surveys
• Identifying potential issues with the facades and balconies that require repair
• Preparing and filing forms documenting our observations as required by the City of Chicago
• Providing a rough order-of-magnitude cost estimate to help the condominium association budget for the next ten years of facade maintenance and repairs
• Designing and administering concrete and sealant repairs for the facades
