Categories of Work
Exterior Examinations and Reports
Careful examination of a building's exterior establishes its current condition and a benchmark for the work that follows. Roofs, windows, facades, plazas and sidewalks, documented in a report that frames the scope, supports cost development and prioritizes what comes first.
View practice area →Exterior and Facade Rehabilitation
Rehabilitation begins with a full understanding of the existing structure, from the facade support to the exterior surface, roofing and windows. The practice carries the work through documents, bidding, construction and closeout, with repairs prioritized by hazard, prevention and appearance.
View practice area →Roofing, Windows and Waterproofing
Roofing, window and waterproofing details are where water enters and where facade support elements are lost. Survey work establishes the cause, extent and severity; the analysis weighs repair against replacement over the anticipated life of the structure.
View practice area →Restoration of Unique and Historic Structures
Working with irreplaceable landmark buildings is a tremendous responsibility. Research of available records and investigation of actual conditions lead to restoration options developed with the owner and the regulatory agencies, matched to materials and craft no longer readily available.
View practice area →Historic Preservation
Preservation prolongs the life of the structure and avoids the need for extensive and costly restoration. A thorough survey becomes a maintenance plan calibrated to the building, with grant strategy, board advisory and climate compliance framed around it.
View practice area →New Building Enclosure
A new building depends on its facades, glazing, roofs, terraces and waterproofing working together as a single continuous enclosure. The practice reviews the concept, the performance criteria and the critical interfaces from early design through mockup, testing and turnover.
