Braun Intertec provided building enclosure commissioning including conducting a peer review of the design and anticipated construction means and methods described in the contract documents and other information. Our review focused on the exterior enclosure drawings and pertinent technical specifications to include: roofing; waterproofing; exterior wall assemblies; air/weather/vapor barriers; thermal insulation; storefront and curtain wall systems; exterior cladding systems; drainage planes/ thru-wall flashings; material transitions as well as material compatibilities and joint sealants. Our review of the construction document drawings and specifications placed an emphasis on addressing system interfaces, material compatibilities, air and vapor resistance and permeability characteristics to determine compliance with the project documents, industry standards and building codes. We familiarized ourselves with the contractor’s plans and schedules for construction and made suggestions on installation sequences to improve resistance to water intrusion or moisture infiltration.
