SGH consulted on below-grade waterproofing, roofing, podium/balcony/terrace waterproofing, exterior wall cladding, and windows. Highlights of our work include the following:

• Established performance criteria for building enclosure systems and components
• Reviewed design concepts and provided recommendations to improve performance
• Developed details to integrate the various enclosure systems
• Participated in cost analysis meetings with the design team and university and helped develop alternate design concepts to balance cost and performance expectations
• Responded to questions from bidders and helped evaluate bids from contractors for the exterior wall, roofing, and waterproofing work
• Reviewed building enclosure submittals to compare with the design intent
• Visited the site to observe construction to compare with the project requirements
• Evaluated alternate details to address variations in as-built conditions
