It starts with a building assessment to document conditions and prioritize repairs. We then develop a scope and budget aligned with the district's funding, and schedule the work around the academic calendar, typically targeting summer breaks for field work.

Failed mortar joints and deteriorated caulking allow air and moisture infiltration, increasing heating and cooling loads. Restoring the masonry envelope improves the building's thermal performance and can contribute to measurable energy savings over time.

Yes. We restore masonry on all types of campus buildings including residence halls, student centers, athletic facilities, and administrative buildings. Each building type has its own access and scheduling constraints, which we plan for upfront.

Yes. Phasing is common on campus projects, especially when budgets are limited or the scope covers multiple buildings. We plan each phase as a complete, weather-tight scope so the building is protected between seasons.

We work with facility directors to assess conditions, identify critical priorities, and develop phased scopes that align with available funding. Phasing work across multiple summers spreads costs, and giving us scheduling flexibility helps districts get the best pricing.

A good plan starts with a condition assessment of every masonry building, prioritizes repairs by urgency and consequence of failure, and schedules work in phases that align with budgets and the academic calendar. We work with districts and universities to develop these plans.

Scaffolding, equipment, and material staging are planned to minimize visual impact on the campus. We keep work areas organized, protect landscaping and hardscape, and coordinate with facilities teams on appearances during high-visibility events like commencement.

Yes. Many university and college campuses have buildings with historic significance, and roughly half of our total work is historic preservation. We follow the Secretary of the Interior's Standards and provide the documentation historic campus buildings require.

We install barriers, maintain clear and safe pedestrian routes, and follow strict site safety protocols around occupied buildings. Work zones are separated from student and staff areas, and we coordinate daily with facility managers on access and scheduling.

Yes, when necessary. We coordinate with school administrators to manage noise, dust, and access around class schedules and building operations. However, summer breaks remain the preferred window for the most disruptive work.

Deteriorated mortar joints, failed caulking at windows and expansion joints, water infiltration, and spalling brick or stone. Many campus buildings are decades old and have accumulated deferred maintenance that worsens with each freeze-thaw cycle.

Most school masonry projects are scheduled during summer breaks to minimize disruption. Our field season runs mid-February through the end of November, and we prioritize education projects during the summer window when access is easiest and buildings are least occupied.
