Lunch-and-learns for architects and spec writers

One hour with the people who run the tests and open the walls. Real field photos, plain answers, and details you can use on your next set of drawings. In person at your office or online, anywhere in the country.

Pick a talk

  • Watertight openings: windows, storefronts and AAMA field testing

    Why openings leak, the head, jamb and sill details that prevent it, and how AAMA 501.2, 502 and 503 testing works on site.

    You'll leave able to: pick the right field test, write a sensible testing paragraph, and spot the integration details that fail most.

  • Designing roofs and plaza decks that can be leak tested

    High- and low-voltage electronic leak detection, the conductive layer most specs forget, and when to test before the membrane is buried.

    You'll leave able to: specify ELD that actually works on your assembly, and schedule it at the right time.

  • Why buildings leak: lessons from forensic investigations

    Anonymized case studies of leaks that kept coming back, how isolation testing found the real path, and the design choices behind them.

    You'll leave able to: recognize the transitions that cause most water intrusion claims and detail them out.
