3. Architectural Value of a Curtain Wall Consultant
Balance Cost With Performance
Curtainwall cladding often comprises 20% of
construction cost on new projects. Specialist consultants
can increase your success in achieving design, budget,
and performance targets.
Proactively Avoid Failures
Curtain wall cladding failures are the second leading
cause of building construction problems. Bringing an
expert onto the design team early in the design process
is adding the best insurance against cladding pitfalls.
Specialist consultants quickly pinpoint problem areas
and can resolve tough issues before they become
building failures.
Expert Design
Curtain wall technology changes rapidly. New materials,
new finishes, and new systems are constantly being
introduced to the designer’s palette and can pose
difficult value engineering alternatives. You need an
expert on board who has been involved with the project
evolution and can recommend expedient and prudent
choices.
Technical Resources
Consultant familiarity with design solutions resulting
from experience on hundreds of projects is like having
a personal cladding resource library at your fingertips.
CDC’s curtain wall consultants will provide decisive and Vendome, Dallas, Texas
definitive answers to your toughest technical questions. © 2005 Michael Lyon
Conflict Of Interest
Using a specialist consultant gets you an honest,
independent answer, the best solution for your unique
project. Answers obtained from curtainwall fabricators,
suppliers, and installers can be influenced by sales,
product availability, plant capacity or other limits, but
CDC provides information that considers the best
interests of your client and your project.

4. Architect Services
For over the 35 years, CDC has developed an exceptional working relationship with many architectural firms across
the nation and around the world. Our experience and expertise in exterior building façade systems has built a
reputation that prompts owners and architects to engage CDC early on a project. The collaboration between CDC
and our client helps to provide consulting services in the planning states of a project to help eliminate any unforeseen
problems before they become an issue in the construction phase.
Preliminary Design Input
In the early stages of any project, CDC reviews the
schematic architectural drawings that pertain to
the external wall design for the project and makes
recommendations concerning the various envelope
systems that might be considered.
Another way CDC adds value to the project is we meet
with the architect’s design team to review the performance
and design parameters and /or constraints, and to
coordinate the required work for the project.
Other services CDC includes are: develop and submit for
review technical specification section for the enclosure
wall; provide typical cladding details for support framing
and joinery; and provides recommendation with regard to
the need for a mock-up, its scope, and appropriate test
criteria. Pier One Headquarters, Fort Worth, Texas
© 2005 Michael Lyon Photography
Submittal Review
CDC reviews shop drawings, structural calculations and technical data submissions for compliance, and highlights
areas of technical weaknesses and issues that should be addressed prior to proceeding with construction.
Project Observation
Periodically, CDC provides quality assurance visits to the construction site to observe the building envelope installation
process. Services generally include making observations and filing a daily field observation report to the client and
follow-up with a photographic log detailing observations made. The photographic log is coordinated with the daily
field logs, which are often required to obtain the longest warranty periods offered by product manufacturers.
Observation of Field Water Testing
CDC specifies and observes field water testing and subsequently provides a full, formal report of observations and
recommendations based on the results of the test.

observes and witnesses the erection, pre-testing and final
testing of mock-ups at the test lab facility.
Often CDC will provide a written report of observations and
recommendations. CDC will also review and comment on the
laboratory report and as-built mockup shop drawings.
Field Testing
As required by many project specifications, or by the
contractor’s quality control program, CDC can provide field
testing services for water infiltration in compliance with the
ASTM guidelines. The test observation report is also a part of
the testing service CDC performs.
CDC can observe and report on testing performed.
