SGH assisted the design-build team led by Capstone Development, Turner Construction, and Elkus Manfredi Architects with designing the building enclosure, including waterproofing, fiber-reinforced concrete panel cladding, aluminum windows and curtain wall, and roofing. Highlights of our work include the following:
-
Evaluating various materials and system options and providing guidance on the proposed design drawings
-
Helping detail building enclosure systems and components, with special focus on new/innovative systems and intersections between systems and complex conditions
-
Consulting on performance and mockup requirements for building enclosure assemblies and components
-
Visiting manufacturing and fabrication facilities for some of the facade systems to observe their production processes and QA/QC procedures
-
Assisting with the evaluation of value-engineering proposals
-
Providing construction phase services, including performing and witnessing field testing of as-built glazing systems, reviewing contractor submittals, participating in preconstruction meetings, observing ongoing work, and helping the contractor resolve field conditions
