Hixson Consultants, Inc. has experienced team members that address
virtually every building science, installation and performance
aspect of the building envelope or building enclosure. With our
knowledge and services we assist a variety of client types. Our
Clients have realized the value of our thorough review and comments
on contract documents and shop drawing submittals for new and
remedial construction, as well as our Quality Assurance Observations
of work in progress for both new and remedial construction. Owner
and property management clients have relied on our Condition Surveys
to plan and budget short and long-range maintenance and capital
expenditures on all aspects of the building envelope including low
and steep slope roofing, coatings, below-grade waterproofing,
sealants (caulking), EIFS, stucco, masonry, precast, metal panel,
wood and cementitious siding and glazing systems.
Leak investigation and Non-destructive moisture detection are
services that we offer for existing facilities. Moisture damage from
rainwater and concealed condensation is not only irritating to a
tenant or building Owner, but it is a real concern for all of us
concerned with preventing mold growth.
Recommendations for solving deficiencies follow our condition survey
and especially our leak investigations. We work hard to present
various options that accommodate budget and priorities. We are
experienced in preparing remedial work bid documents for obtaining
bids and for quality specialty contractors performing the remedial
work.
Like our varied list of valued Clients, we offer services for many
types of projects. For new construction and existing facilities, our
project list includes commercial, institutional, religious,
industrial, governmental, retail, multi-family, and high-end
residential. Services to existing facilities include both modern and
historic restorations.
We provide focused, customized seminars for all types of Clients.
Because we work daily with problem-solving, we are continuously
learning what problems are prevalent, avoidable, and correctable. We
take what we've learned over the years in existing problem
diagnostics and apply that knowledge to avoiding problems. Property
Managers and Owners benefit from our seminars about avoiding
prevalent design and build problems, cost-saving maintenance and
long-term high performance repairs and replacement options.
