Construction Consulting

“Doing a house is so much harder than doing a skyscraper.” - Philip Johnson

I specialize in helping contractors, owners, and architects select and plan for windows and doors, free from dealer and manufacturer biases.

With 30 years in luxury construction, 20 years of experience in the Caribbean and 13 years coordinating complex glazing projects for $20-$50M homes in South Florida, I provide expert advice to help avoid problems and save time in your projects.

Here's how having a window and door expert on your team can make a difference before signing any contracts:

  • Product Selection: Selecting the best performing products from all available manufacturers for a custom tailored solution within the limitations of the product approvals.

  • Plan Review: Ensure accurate opening sizes by reviewing plans.

  • Conflict Resolution: Address conflicts between floor plans, elevations, window & door schedules, and structural details.

  • Problem Identification: Identify potential issues like sliding door pockets and structural column and beam sizing problems.

  • Bid Details Clarification: Understand differences in window bid details for informed decision-making.

  • Proposal Standardization: Standardize requests for proposals, covering paint type, glass specs, window and door series, and installation methods.

  • Design Intent Review: Utilize an expert's eyes to review shop drawings, ensuring alignment with the project's design intent.

  • Installation Planning and Execution: Inspect the installation planning and process to ensure best practices for laser leveling, anchoring per hurricane product approvals, sill and curb pouring and waterproofing.
