The Winslow
BET&R performed pre-design survey, design consulting, bid and permit administration, inspection and technical consulting services for this mixed-use project. BET&R performed a pre-design survey of the low-slope roofs, including the balcony and terrace decks, deck doors, wall cladding, and windows to determine the condition and necessary details to be included repair documents. BET&R prepared a building envelope system Recommendation Matrix, which outlined products that were the most appropriate for the project and served as a basis of design for pricing. BET&R participated in a meeting with the Client to review BET&R’s recommendations. BET&R also prepared a ROM Cost Estimate for the products, systems, and components necessary for the low-slope roof. In addition, BET&R prepared building envelope and low-slope roof-related specification sections and prepared plan, elevation, and building envelope and low-slope roof-related section and isometric detail drawings.
BET&R assisted the Client by conducting an on-site Pre-Bid Meeting and Walk-Through with bidding contractors to review the scope of the retrofit project and discuss project-related requirements. Additionally, BET&R participated in pre-construction meetings and provided limited submittal and RFI review for the building envelope. BET&R provided project administration services including submittal and mock-up review and performed monitoring site visits of the cladding and fenestration, deck waterproofing, and roofing installation.
