Required Reading for Building Professionals
For over a quarter century, the Hoffmann Architects + Engineers JOURNAL has served as a forum for discussing common problems and new developments. In each issue, our professionals tackle concerns specific to existing structures and occupied spaces in clear, straightforward terms.
The latest issue, Prioritizing Your Building Enclosure Needs, guides owners and managers in evaluating building enclosure systems and establishing priorities for repair, rehabilitation, and upgrades. With practical considerations for code requirements, safety, and functionality, as well as desirable improvements to performance and aesthetics, it can be challenging to determine which efforts should take top billing. Add to that the constraints of landmark and historic properties or integrated parking structures, and setting a building enclosure program can be daunting. Rest easy: with the right strategy, the work can be done efficiently and cost-effectively.
