Bentley University, Campus-wide Condition Assessments

SGH completed comprehensive condition assessments of the facades and roofs for all the campus buildings. We reviewed a wide-range of systems and materials, including membrane and slate roofing, flashing systems, windows and curtain walls, brick masonry, siding, joint sealants, terraces, and balconies. Highlights of our work include the following:

• Reviewing available maintenance and building repair histories to identify areas with recurring water leakage or deterioration issues
• Prioritizing repairs considering condition of the facade and roofing systems, failure risk and/or potential consequences of failure, and our prediction of remaining useful life
• Determining quantities and estimating system replacement and repair costs
• Providing campus-wide data in a format the university could use with their existing database for other building systems throughout the campus
