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
