Building Enclosure Condition Assessments for Schools

SGH collaborated with the schools to learn about their existing buildings, past repair work, and their plans for future maintenance and projects. We evaluated the buildings’ enclosures and developed prioritized recommendations to meet their goals. Our building enclosure condition assessment services include the following:

• Visually surveying the exterior enclosure from the ground and the interior to document existing conditions, including any existing damage or deterioration
• Performing hands-on surveys using a variety of means, such as aerial lifts, suspended scaffolding, or industrial rope access
• Making observations at exploratory openings and conducting nondestructive testing to help us understand concealed conditions
• Performing water and air infiltration testing to determine existing leakage paths
• Recommending and helping the schools prioritize repair needs
• Developing conceptual repair options with cost estimates to assist in planning and budgeting
• Preparing ongoing maintenance plans and designing repairs for capital improvements
