Omni Boston Hotel at the Seaport

SGH collaborated with the project team on the building enclosure design, bidding and design-assist process, construction, and commissioning. Highlights of our work include:

• Consulting on the design of the building enclosure, including below-grade and tunnel waterproofing, facades, bridge connections, and roofing systems for the project
• Establishing performance expectations by developing the BECx plan and specification and outlining testing requirements, project team roles and responsibilities, and procedures for documenting and resolving construction-related issues
• Supporting the project team’s effort in obtaining LEED certification
• Developing two-and-three dimensional enclosure details and working with the project team to coordinate the unitized curtain wall systems with the other enclosure systems
• Providing construction administration services, including reviewing contractor submittals, conducting field performance testing, and working with the project team to address conditions encountered during construction
• Evaluating performance during a ten-month, post-occupancy site visit
