Once
the inspection report has been delivered to the client
and a qualified repair contractor has been engaged,
repairs can commence.
There is however, one more
step that many building owners/managers have chosen
to take in order to ensure that the repairs are
completed in a manner consistent with manufacturer’s
recommended details and/or EIFS industry standards.
EnviroSpec, Inc.’s repair monitoring program
not only provides “peace of mind” for
the client, it also assists property managers and/or
homeowner association officers and other board members
in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibility by providing
written documentation of said repairs from an independent
third-party.
We provide all of our clients
with a customized “Repair
Protocol” based on the findings of our inspection.
This document can be used by the client when requesting
repair bids and provides a guideline for the minimum
standards required for a successful repair.
Another key element to our
repair monitoring program is that all site visits
are randomly scheduled. This allows our inspectors
to observe “real working” conditions.
Each site visit is photo documented for inclusion
in a final report. In most cases we are not contracted
to be the “Project Manager”, therefore,
to supplement our site visits we require that all
repairs also be photo-documented at the critical
stages by the repair contractor. This additional
documentation is critical to ensure that repairs
are in conformance with the standards outlined above.
Any “problems” observed
at the time of inspection are documented and are
expected to be corrected along with photo and written
documentation of corrective action by the contractor
prior to our next site visit. The frequency and
fees for these site visits are determined by the
scope of work to be performed. Additionally, every
attempt is made to maintain an open line of communication
with the repair contractor throughout the repair
process. This helps to avoid redundant site visits.
Upon completion of the repairs, EnviroSpec, Inc.
will submit a narrative and photographic report to
the client for their records. |
