Preliminary Evaluation and Assessment
|
RAS provides a full array of Pre-Construction Services and Testing for Wall & Finishes. After performing an initial preliminary evaluation and assessment of the actual condition of the existing wall and Finishes and provides any necessary onsite testing, RAS collects all of the data and develops a laboratory testing report.
|
Once the action plan proposed in the report has been approved by an owner the project advances on to the Bid and Permitting Phase. RAS will not only prepare a complete set of “Specifications” for restoration and define the “Scope of work” for competitive pricing and permitting but will also assist in the Bid Review Process to assure that the proposals are technically aligned with all the Bid Document requirements. RAS will then prepare a Final Bid Tabulation Report and if requested will provide a contractor pre-qualification assessment of each company; testing an actual installed mockup provided by them while overseeing the installation and assessing the crew’s actual performance. The full set of Construction Documents for Contractor selection and Permit Application usually consist of Specifications, Signed and Sealed detailed Wall detail Drawings and any test results that may have been required for the existence of Mold, Formaldehyde, Chinese Drywall, or asbestos.
|
Acting as “Engineer of Record” during this phase RAS oversees the actual installation of the Wall and Finishes and provides Quality Control of the process, being able to make immediate decision on any unforeseen condition. Upon completion of the installation RAS will provide all the necessary Testing Services to insure that the system was installed according to the manufacturer recommendations and satisfies all the design criteria requirements.
|
Upon completion of the Interior Wall and Finishes and the Construction Phase of the project RAS will assemble and archive all test data on a Performance Data Base. This information will be available to the Owner for any possible warranty issues, or insurance claims.
