INTRODUCTION


The Building Envelope

▪ The roofing (top)

▪ The waterproofing (bottom)

▪ The exterior walls (sides)


The Matrix (team)

▪ The various systems and assemblies

▪ The manufacturers and suppliers

▪ The various trades and subcontractors

▪ The design professionals

▪ Architect

▪ Engineers (structural and mechanical as minimum)

▪ Consultants


We will focus on several key elements of

several critical phases of the waterproofing

design/construction process:

▪ Specifications

▪ Drawings

▪ Bidding

▪ Submittals

▪ C/A


Mission Impossible

▪ Non-Proprietary

▪ Descriptive, Performance & Reference

▪ Other method - Proprietary

▪ Publicly Bid

▪ Low Bid, advertised

▪ Qualifications


By Establishing Standards and

Guides in Your Office, You Will:

❖ more efficient and consistent

❖ better and improving “process”

❖ reduce the affects of lost personnel

❖ handle a bulge in workload

❖ more efficient use of your personnel and downtime, by

having “back burner” work

❖ mechanism for improvements, and modifications due

to industry standards
