Ci works with building product manufacturers to evaluate products and share market insight and opportunities through:
Site walks
Ci identifies risks and opportunities for builders from an independent perspective through detailed site walks. Ci takes builders, site supervisors, appropriate trade contractors, and customer service personnel on-site to conduct a guided discovery tour of building science issues. Ci points out current best practices of the builder, along with risks and opportunities relating to:
- Water management details
- HVAC elements
- Air sealing and insulation
- Specific site or market condition issues
Consultations with builders and building supply companies
Ci consults with site staff, purchasing agents, customer service personnel and tradespeople on the basics of building science – how it can be used to identify risks, improve quality, or reduce costs. Our consultations include identifying:
- What’s happening in other markets – both technical and market trends
- Pending code changes that will impact the builder and trades
- Cost-effective energy efficiency technologies and techniques
- Potential process improvements
- Requirements for green building programs and tax credits
- How building changes are synergistic – changes in one area impact other areas
