Building Enclosure Architectural Details – Conveying Construction Drawing Clarity

1.0 LU/HSW

Designing an air-tight, water-tight, and energy efficient building requires an understanding of the anatomy of the entire building enclosure in order to build structures that will perform as intended. A lack of understanding of these concepts translates into poor and incomplete architectural details, gaps in design information, and exterior wall components that cannot be properly installed, leading to contractors “figuring it out on the field”. This presentation will touch upon basic concepts of building science and how drawings can be improved to create beautiful, sustainable structures that function properly, by conveying clarity on building enclosure details at foundation-to-wall, roof-to-wall, window-to-wall, penetrations, and at dissimilar material transition points.

• Understand the importance of building enclosure architectural details and the consequences of not including necessary details as part of construction documents
• Learn what exterior wall envelope details must be provided according to code and best practices for meeting code
• Understand Building Science effects on the architectural design
• Understand how material and sequencing can play into the constructability of a design

Building Enclosure Pre-construction Meeting

1.0 LU/HSW

A pre-construction meeting is a crucial part of the construction process which should be specified and outlined in several section of the project manual as part of the quality assurance specification. It is paramount to coordinate pre-construction meetings with team members on the building project, as this establishes expectations upfront for the installation and subsequent warranties of the components of the building enclosure. By having a pre-construction meeting prior to the commencement of field operations, the owner, design team, general contractor, sub-contractors, and manufacturers are presented with the opportunity to discuss and resolve issues the various trades might encounter during the construction process. It is the intent of this presentation to explain the foundation of a building enclosure pre-construction meeting and to help foster a collaborative approach to information sharing that will minimize construction problems, delays, and manage risks.

• Understand where in the specification the pre-construction meeting should be specified and what divisions should be referenced
• Understand what trades should be present and why
• Understand how to coordinate the building enclosure components and why it’s important to coordinate them
• Understand how to resolve compatibility and installation issues that may arise out of a preconstruction meeting
• Understand what specific details to look for and why they should be discussed at the preconstruction meeting.
