The materials and components that comprise the building enclosure will age. As they age, their appearance and performance degrade. At some point they need to be renewed. Renewal can involve major improvements to the existing systems or a complete replacement of the cladding. The cost of cladding renewal is considerable and needs to be carefully planned and managed.

RDH can assist you in all phases of a cladding renewal project:

• Assessment of current condition and renewal needs.
• Design of the renewal program including architectural services as required.
• Preparation of drawings and specifications so that the work may be tendered and a building permit obtained.
• Construction manage the implementation of the cladding renewals work.
• Field review of construction.
• Preparation of maintenance manual for the building enclosure.

A well conceived and managed cladding renewals project can lead to an updated appearance for the building and increased value.
