Step 1:
Discover
Perhaps the most critical step in the process, Discover includes the evaluation, testing, exploration, excavation, and observation of existing building enclosures to develop an accurate condition assessment and inventory of multi-family building systems. This step frequently includes forensic investigation to determine the roof of facility problems.
- Project Planning
- Exploratory Assessment & Inspection
- Condition Evaluation
- Performance Auditing & Testing
- Infrared Moisture Scanning
- Forensic Investigation
Step 2:
Plan
The Plan phase moves into the analysis of discovery data in order to determine the most effective path forward for a particular project or comprehensive program.
- Reporting
- Budget & Capital Planning
Step 3:
Solve
During the Solve phase, our team of professionals collaborate with the client to develop the best and most practical design solutions for the building’s repair, restoration and/or remediation. These solutions include capital renewal and O&M repair program design, creation of design plans and construction documents, bid for generation and bid management.

- Construction Management
- On-Site Project Management
- Quality Observation
- Material Application Testing
Step 5:
Sustain
The last stage of the 5 Step Process includes the implementation of life extension measures that will ultimately reduce the Total Cost of Ownership. This can include warranty management, and predictive and preventative maintenance programs to ensure continuity and sustainability of the entire process.
