The building envelope with its internal environment is complex as is today’s regulatory climate. With the continual changes in Federal, State and Local municipality codes and regulations, it is no longer enough to simply complete a project and call it done. The codes and regulations in effect when a project was designed change over time, and what may have been acceptable then, may not be today. Buildings are dynamic and tend to deteriorate over time even with care and maintenance; a minor envelope failure can lead to costly repairs and health hazards. In order to minimize these impacts, building owners need to periodically review their existing buildings as well as projects in design or under construction to anticipate potential issues.
MILES architecture group can provide a number of specialty services that will assist building owners in analyzing potential problems with existing and proposed building systems as well as impacts that current codes and regulations may impose. These services include: Building Forensics, Accessibility Consulting, Code Consulting, and Constructability Analysis.
