SGH consulted on the design for below-grade, podium, planter, and balcony waterproofing; precast concrete and metal panel rain screen exterior wall systems; glazing; and roofing. Highlights of our work include the following:

• Helped select building enclosure systems to meet budget and performance requirements
• Reviewed proposed design concepts and performed preliminary analysis to verify glass types and mullion design
• Modeled intersections of roofing, waterproofing, and cladding to evaluate constructability and continuity of the building enclosure
• Developed details to integrate the various systems
• Prepared specifications for roofing, waterproofing, and flashing, and performance specifications for the design-assist cladding
• Assisted with reviewing bids and answering contractors’ questions during the bidding process
• Visited cladding manufacturing plants to observe quality control procedures
• Participated in cladding coordination meetings with the subcontractors, general contractor, and architect during shop drawing development to resolve detailing and installation conflicts prior to construction
• Observed cladding mockups and performance testing
• Provided construction administration services, including reviewing contractor submittals, observing ongoing construction, and witnessing field testing to compare with the design and performance requirements; performing special warranty inspections for below-grade waterproofing; and analyzing alternate details to accommodate as-built variations
