Before production work construction begins on a new building, it is common for the General Contractor to have pre-construction meetings with the Subcontractors, to discuss the pending construction, and help the various trades work together, make plans, and avoid problems both in their own specific trade (roofing, masonry, windows, and many others), and where such trades interface.

W&A can assist with these meetings, participating in and often leading the discussion to help the Contractor Team work together to achieve a watertight and durable building exterior envelope and striving to minimize problems with both detailing and sequence of construction. This is another instance of where our experience in solving problems with existing buildings can be very beneficial to the Team constructing a new building.
