What buildings in the Triangle are up against
The Triangle sees humid summers, frequent thunderstorms and the occasional tropical system tracking inland. Fast-paced student housing and multifamily construction leaves little time for envelope oversight, so we often find window perimeter, balcony and roof-to-wall leaks within the first few years of occupancy.
