Pulte Homes

SGH collaborated with Pulte on their high-density residential communities primarily comprising low-rise, wood-framed structures. Each development varies in configuration and appearance. Highlights of our work include the following.

• Coordinated with the architect of record, which varied for each project
• Peer reviewed the architects’ proposed design for the roofing, wall assemblies, decks, and waterproofing, and recommended ways to improve the enclosure performance
• Performed building science analyses of wall assemblies to determine the most appropriate materials, considering cost and performance requirements
• Helped the architect develop details for integrating the various waterproofing systems
• Worked with Pulte to evaluate and establish their building and material standards
• Reviewed waterproofing submittals to compare with the project requirements
• Visited the sites to observe construction, compare the as-built construction with the design intent, and help resolve field conditions
• Conducted quality control field testing to evaluate the performance of windows and deck assemblies in the finished configuration
