Top 10 Building Envelope Risks to Consider on your Next Project L&L (07.16.19)

The building envelope is the highest risk element of construction. Often, the contractors are taking on a large portion of this risk. With increased building complexity, stringent owner requirements, vague design documents, and diminishing labor pool, these risks are higher than ever. This presentation will summarize the top 10 building envelope issues based on our observations in the field, and will include a discussion on how contractors can address these issues through their QC program

Learning Objectives:

• Review the general concepts of building envelope performance
• Identify and review the top 10 building highest risks at the building envelope
• Review potential QC procedures by contractors to reduce these risks
• Identify useful and cost effective test methods to verify performance
