Architectural Services
What Can we do for you?
Our firm takes pride in the relationships we have built with architectural firms throughout Northern California and Nevada. As an architect, the last thing you need to worry about is product failure. The products we represent have tangible, measurable performance differences in comparison to the products of our competitors with the data to show it.
Our robust array of industry specific knowledge, coupled with the superior brands we represent, enables us to solve any problem you may encounter in the building enclosure system. We feel these unique services we offer will adequately equip you to find viable solutions to any problem arising during your project:
Specification Development
While cutting and pasting specifications for each new job may be tempting, previous products and strategies may not fit the purpose of a new structure. Let us work with you to develop a bulletproof specification that meets the particular needs of each project.
Project-Specific Consulting
One size fits all is not an option in our industry, and building enclosure systems often vary greatly from building to building. We will work with you to find practical solutions for any circumstance you may run across.
AIA Presentations, Product Knowledge & Demonstrations
With the vast number of products available and the consistent emergence of countless new products throughout the industry, writing a sound specification can be challenging. We can get you up to speed on products and their applications in the changing landscape of a fast-paced industry.
Green Solutions
Go green! We can work with you in specifying an eco-friendly, sustainable, and low carbon footprint enclosure system.
Pre-Job & Interim Site Inspections
Whether it be attending pre-construction meetings, or periodical check-ins to monitor the progress of an installation, we are consistently involved throughout the span of a project.
R-Value Code & Calculations
California & Nevada Law is changing quickly. It can be difficult to stay up to date on what the required R-Value is above the substrate of an enclosure system, especially when the project is in an alternate ASHRAE zone. We’ll work with you to engineer an enclosure system that is California or Nevada compliant.
Factory Mutual (FM), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), & ASTM International Code Compliance
The products we represent are favorably regarded throughout each of these independent testing agencies. We frequently work with each of these agencies and are familiar with any necessary compliance required throughout an enclosure system. We can engineer a system to fit any of your code compliance needs.
Experienced Field Service Representatives
Following the completion of a project, we dispatch field representatives that work with the installing contractor to make any necessary changes that may have been overlooked.
Sample & Literature Administration
The products we represent have tangible differences in the way they feel and perform in comparison to other products on the market. We want to get them in your hands and show you the data that supports this.
