McGee Consulting
Associates, Inc. is a Construction Consulting firm devoted to
the investigation, restoration and preservation of building
structures. Properly
designed and constructed buildings are intended to provide
protection from the outside elements.
When a building
envelope allows unwanted air and water to enter the interior
components, the source must be investigated and defined in order
to correct the problems. For example, investigation of water
intrusion involves proper implementation of visual observations,
limited destructive testing, moisture testing, and water
testing.
Methodical
implementation of testing can determine the cause of defects in
the design or construction of a specific construction component.
MCA is experienced in quantifying water intrusion through
windows, doors, masonry veneers, stone veneer, siding, shingles,
EIFS, tile, flashing, sealants, balconies, window walls,
handrails, concrete, built-up roofing, single ply roofing and
other materials.
The most important
step in the investigation is to define the specific cause of the
problem. This may be
followed by recommendations for correction, estimating the cost
to repair, and subsequent construction management of these
repairs. By implementing
one or all of the above steps in the diagnosis and resolution of
building problems MCA has assisted many clients in diagnosing
and correcting significant building defects.
