It is estimated that a piece of masonry falls off a building in the U.S. every 3 weeks. Unfortunately, it has taken front page news of personal injuries, deaths, and property damage to prompt authorities to enact Building Façade ordinances. Learn how façade inspections are conducted and why the owners of some of the largest real estate portfolios in the country are proactively conducting façade inspections as a matter of risk reduction. The history of façade ordinances and why façades fail will be discussed. Background information will be presented on types of facades. Material considerations will be discussed, including types of materials used in facade construction and how environmental factors affect these materials. A dissection of a façade inspection will provide an understanding of how to conduct inspections and highlight common pitfalls. Reporting requirements will be discussed and case studies used to provide examples of common issues and how to choose corrective actions. Learn how a comprehensive façade inspection is conducted that covers the entire building envelope including waterproofing and the roof utilizing the latest technology.
