Addressed Exterior Building Enclosure Systems
A key component of GCI’s services for this project included quality control inspections and field testing, highlighting both the enjoyable and challenging facets. Moreover, the project demanded expert coordination of various systems following adherence to a construction schedule. This included YKK storefront systems with sill receptors, sections of exterior metal framed walls, Laticrete exterior wall systems with adhered stone veneer, and exterior roof sections with pedestal pavers. Overall, the GCI team utilized their expertise in building enclosure engineering consulting to help ensure seamless integration and optimal performance of these intricate components.
