HOUSTON,
Texas – Architects, project managers and
building owners now have a convenient regional source for independent field
testing, forensic evaluation, inspection, and commissioning of the performance
of the building envelope with Architectural Testing’s new regional office in
Houston.
Opened in March
2010, the new office serves as home base for a comprehensive mobile field
testing capability that brings authoritative third-party on-site testing,
inspection and building envelope commissioning, as well as forensic
investigation services to the Greater Houston and South Texas/Louisiana
area.
Heading the
facility is Project Manager Paul Schuyler, a NCARB-certified professional
architect with a 14-year track record in building envelope design and detailing.
Schuyler, who is bi-lingual in Spanish, is also a LEED Accredited Professional
with international practice experience. The Houston office augments Architectural Testing’s full
service laboratory in Fort
Worth, Texas.
“The services now
available from the Houston office are in increasing demand as both designers and
building owners seek to ensure the intended installed performance of complex
building envelope systems, and to identify the source of post-occupancy problems
that could surface with performance liability implications,” aid Dan Braun, Vice
President for Regional
Operations.
The Houston facility
additionally offers a convenient local platform for plant inspection services
for area manufacturers participating in ATI’s certification programs for the
Florida Product Approval program, acoustic performance, blast resistance, roof
impact resistance and other building product performance
aspects.
