1:1 SUPPORT / SPARRING / COACHING / HOTLINE
WHEN YOU NEED A 100% INDEPENDENT WATERPROOFING TALK
...WHEN SPECIFYING WATERPROOFING
- and you want to make sure that you don't have to spend too much time later, clearing out misconceptions...
...WHEN BIDDING ON PROJECTS
Are there hidden Traps or Opportunities in the project you bid on ?
...WHEN ASSESSING YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Are Your Responsibilities Fair ?
Some solutions getting specified, are what we describe as "Waterproofing Mission Impossibles" - and some of these solutions is so surprising to many people, that they find it hard to believe - until we explain what is REALLY going on.
The problem for most people is, that they don't about know this.
So, when/if the waterproofing fails all fingers risk pointing at you - which is quite Unfair, because you never had a chance!
...WHEN CHOOSING PRODUCTS
"Use a Product like Product XX" - what does that even mean ?
We find that specifying "Product like Product XX" and referring to the manufacturer's installation guide - in most cases, is a direct SPECIFICATION FAILURE
But of course, at some point in the process, one or more products has to be picked from the huge stack of options
But what is UP and what is DOWN and how do you compare features, are there know flip-sides, which product is easier to install, what should you ask the supplier - and a lot more
Things like this we help our customers figuring out - BEFORE making the choice
...WHEN STARTING THE EXECUTION
The traditionally strong focus on Products - has almost REMOVED focus from the IMPORTANT things !
Imagine an airline pilot NOT going through the PREFLIGHT CHECK routine - would you be comfortable being on board that plane?
The same principle applies to waterproofing processes!
There is so much that needs to be checked, planned, and revised before starting the practical waterproofing process - IF you want to stay clear of the pitfalls built in to most construction processes
We have seen/done most of all that can go wrong - and gladly help you avoid as much as possible
...WHEN QUALIFYING PEOPLE
The final Quality will never exceed the QUALIFICATIONS level !
If you don't manage to ensure the sufficient level of QUALIFICATIONS throughout the entire process, from drawing board to backfilled structure - you are playing a game of "Structural Waterproofing Russian Roulette"
We train people at all levels - to serve the interest of the structure
...WHEN THINGS LOOKS STRANGE
Almost all Failed Waterproofing - started as a tiny unattended DOUBT !
Things can look strange in:
- Drawings and Specs
- In product brochures
- In supplier Proposals
- When products are delivered
- During application
- After application
- After changed conditions
- and a lot more
More than 32 years of multi-level experiences has taught us,
that most failed waterproofing could have been prevented
by a 2 minute qualified, experienced, and 100% independent conversation
We know that many find this to be controversial, but we stick with it, and gladly explain what we mean...
...WHEN DOING QUALITY CONTROL (QC)
So you are on the jobsite, Inspecting the Quality - and wonder: "is this right ?"
The final Quality Control process is also the last chance to make sure that the result is as expected.
If in doubt, the inspector has an independent option to get a Second Opinion
Being remote
doesn't mean we can't be close.
"...is this correct, how do we approach it, will it lead to other problems, etc. ?"
...WHEN WATERPROOFING HAS FAILED
Now it's time to stay Calm and Focussed - if you don't want to make it worse !
The first thing that happens in most cases, when waterproofing has failed, is that people go into "Solution Mode"
That leads to a risk of making the costs way much heavier than necessary.
The smartest way to deal with failed waterproofing is to be structured about the process - that structure is the service we call:
All failed waterproofing - no exceptions - could have been prevented by a 20 minutes Independent, Qualified, and Timely talk.
The thing is that there aren't many things that can be done wrong - they just get repeated a lot.
THE POINT of this service is to be YOUR waterproofing "brain-extension", working 100% with the interest of the structure in mind - because THAT is always in your best interest.
1:1 PROJECT ASSESSMENT
HAVE THE PROBLEMS REVEALED BEFORE YOU EVEN START
So, You have a Waterproofing project.
It may be a spec you are about to send out in the world, or it may be a project you are bidding on, or it may even be for a job you are about to execute.
More than 30 years in the waterproofing industry has taught, that most errors are visible already in the specs and drawings - if only you know what to look for.
And that is what this ASSESSMENT service is about - identifying and highlighting the potential problems - so that you can act proactively to prevent them.
The best news is - that our setup makes it at least free for you to use this service.
It's either FREE or a GOOD INVESTMENT
1:1 DETAILS DESIGN
STRUCTURAL WATERPROOFING IS 90% ABOUT THE DETAILS
90% of your waterproofing task
is concentrated on 10% of the structure
THE DETAILS
- for that simple reason, giving these details full 1:1 attention is the best investment you can apply to your structural waterproofing
When asked what to primarily focus on in structural waterproofing - we always respond like this:
- the best advice we can give is to design the details for the specific project 1:1, from ground up - consistently
All experience shows that, just "using the same solution as always" - is the first step towards all the well know problems
Every project has got its own unique set of details
1:1 FULL SOLUTION DESIGN
WHEN YOU WANT THE ENTIRE PROJECT ALIGNED
All experiences shows us, that limiting the waterproofing DESIGN to "just picking WATERPROOFING PRODUCTS" - is the MAIN reason for the majority of all failed waterproofing projects.
Having your Waterproofing Design based on a "holistic process view" will reduce BOTH your risk level AND your investment.
