This page compares the information contained in the Phase I Structural Evaluation Report with the subsequent Facade Restoration Project Manual prepared by Falcon Engineering which was used by contractors to bid on the project.
The purpose of this page is to help owners understand how the project evolved between the initial engineering assessment and the subsequently developed construction specifications.
The observations presented below are based exclusively on engineering documents currently available to owners.
| Component | Phase I Structural Assessment Report | Façade Project Manual | Owner Questions |
| Porte Cochere Skylights | Couple cracked panels, partial replacement as needed. | Removal and replacement of all skylight panels and associated roofing components. | What engineering analysis or findings led to the expansion from localized repairs to complete replacement? |
| Exterior Painting | Areas of deterioration and maintenance needs identified. | Complete exterior painting program. | Was complete repainting required for certification? |
| Sealants | Deficiencies identified in certain locations. | Extensive sealant replacement. | What criteria were used to determine the extent of replacement? |
| Balcony Repairs | Balcony-related deficiencies identified. | Extensive balcony restoration and waterproofing work. | What engineering analysis or findings led to doing anything beyond the original report? |
| Waterproofing & Coatings | Various maintenance items identified. | Broad waterproofing and coating program. | What portions of this work are required for certification? |
Note: The purpose of this table is to compare the information contained in the currently available engineering documents. It is not intended to determine whether any specific project component is necessary or unnecessary.
