StructureTec's Total Building Envelope Management Solution program has evolved as a direct result of developing solutions to meet the needs of our clients.

The program combines our expertise in weatherproofing technology with the increasing demand for addressing the entire building envelope under one umbrella.

This "total envelope" concept incorporates all aspects of weatherproofing the structure and enables StructureTec to provide a solution for the entire facility.

StructureTec uses a project management process to ensure that all projects are of the highest quality. The phases included in the process are Evaluation, Design Development, Construction Documents, Bidding/Negotiations, Construction Review and Administration, and Maintenance. Separate phases, Forensic Evaluation/Dispute Resolution and Miscellaneous Consulting, are also included for special projects.

The Evaluation Phase is used to determine the current condition of a situation and identify the causes of any problems which are occurring. These building envelope inspections employ certified, qualified personnel who use a hands-on approach. The building envelope systems receive a condition rating during this phase, using StructureTec's Roof Condition Index (RCI) or Weatherproofing Condition Index (WCI) Rating. These indexes provide objective criteria with clear definitions that allow for standardization in establishing long range budget programs.

The Design Development Phase is where the actual process of system selection for repair, restoration, retrofit, or replacement begins. During this phase, most major project decisions are made.

The Construction Document Phase is when StructureTec prepares documents which will be used to obtain bid prices or negotiate a contract. These documents become legally binding between the owner and the contractor and describe the work and responsibilities of all parties.

During the Bidding/Negotiations Phase, StructureTec assists the owner in obtaining bids or negotiating contracts from qualified contractors.

The Construction Phase is where the work actually occurs. StructureTec's expertise in dealing with specialized building envelope contractors allows for precise construction review in order to ensure the quality of the workmanship.

The Maintenance Phase is an ongoing process whereby StructureTec develops a strategic predictive maintenance plan. The work can then be performed by an outside contractor or by StructureTec Construction Services Group.

Miscellaneous Consulting occurs when there are additional areas of service in which our clients desire our expertise.

The Forensic Evaluation/Dispute Resolution phase is used when clients have an existing problem which requires objective third-party expertise in determining causes and responsibilities of building envelope failures.

StructureTec's Total Building Envelope Management Solution program is dedicated to providing cost-effective value in a manner that exceeds the client's expectations for quality and timeliness. Our clients realize the greatest return-on-investment when we provide innovative solutions with a proven track record of performance, servicing the entire building envelope as a single source entity.
