BUILDING ENVELOPE CONSULTING
BUILDING ENVELOPE CONSULTING SERVICES
Helping developers of complex sites navigate methane risk, regulatory requirements, mitigation strategy, and project approvals with confidence.
Terra-Petra’s Waterproofing Division is recognized as an expert in the industry for the entire building envelope from the basement to the roof.
It is estimated that on any large construction project, waterproofing and drainage is often less than 5% of the total job cost. However, over 95% of project litigation is related to Water Intrusion. Which is why designing comprehensive waterproofing systems for structures is one of the most important services that Terra-Petra provides our clients.
Terra-Petra has been in business since 2002 and in this time we have teamed up with developers and architects alike to design waterproofing systems that are not only specific to each waterproofing manufacturer’s requirements, but also specific to each project—which in the end, will always take a tremendous burden off of the developer and architectural design team.
