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.
