Assessments
Do you know your issues?

Construction issues can create a domino effect that runs straight through your company. For example, poor flashing techniques can lead to water intrusion, water intrusion can lead to mold growth, mold growth can lead to customer complaints, and customer complaints can increase your costs and hurt your reputation.

We can tell you where you stand and what your construction risks are. By looking at construction practices in the field and reviewing construction drawings, we can determine quality and performance issues and define improvement opportunities.

By pinpointing areas for improvement and identifying prioritized actions, we can put a plan in place to help you increase customer satisfaction, lessen risk, and reduce call back and warranty claims.

Our assessment services include:

1. Design review: We'll see how your designs stack up against industry best practices. We’ll also identify areas of improvement and define appropriate details.
2. Scopes of work review: We'll review scopes of work to ensure the design of best practices in durability, comfort, efficiency, health, and safety are communicated effectively to the trades.
3. Field Audit: We'll spend time in the field assessing construction practices of all the product types at different stages of development. The audit includes pre-site visit preparation and a two-day site visit.

Our post-assessment optional services include:

1. Implementation and Support Plan: With your guidance, we can develop a plan to implement solutions to issues identified in the assessment.
2. Training: IBACOS, in alliance with BuildIQ, offers customized classroom training and an online training program designed specifically for construction professionals.
