Exterior Walls


Modern building exteriors are as varied as the materials that are available, including brick and stone veneers, precast concrete, glass curtain walls, exterior insulation finish systems (EIFS), and many others.  Building exteriors serve as an aesthetic skin as well as a barrier between inside and outside environments.  When these systems fail, damage can occur to the exterior and interior building finish materials as well as the structural system.  In addition, if a failure occurs in the exterior wall fastening system, portions of the facade may separate from the structure, creating potential risk to public safety.

 

AESTIMO's consultants are experienced in solving difficult exterior wall/curtain wall problems, including those related to inadequate design, poor workmanship, defective materials, improper maintenance, and normal aging. 

 

Typical exterior wall services include the following:

 

      ·     Construction Review

      ·     Condition Assessments

      ·     Failure Investigations

      ·     Forensic Services

      ·     Remedial Design
