BOMA MEMBER BENEFIT: NO COST

March Engineer Skills Hour
Maintaining  Seattle's Aging Building Exteriors
Speaker: Travis Brammer, Evolution Architecture

Maintaining and upgrading the building exterior is a critical aspect of the building engineer’s job. Over the past few years we have seen a spike in significant building repairs around Seattle. This is due in part to the building  boom of the 1980’s where many of our structures are reaching the 20-30 year mark. Another aspect is the current building boom, owners are spending money on their existing structures to compete with new product that is coming on-line. Our session is designed to cover items that relate mainly to maintenance with some discussion about upgrades. This session will cover curtain wall maintenance, plaza renovation, new innovative repair products, and new HIGH IMPACT OSHA requirements for construction projects.
