HOUSTON, Texas – Architects, project managers and building owners now have a convenient regional source for independent field testing, forensic evaluation, inspection, and commissioning of the performance of the building envelope with Architectural Testing’s new regional office in Houston.

Opened in March 2010, the new office serves as home base for a comprehensive mobile field testing capability that brings authoritative third-party on-site testing, inspection and building envelope commissioning, as well as forensic investigation services to the Greater Houston and South Texas/Louisiana area.

Heading the facility is Project Manager Paul Schuyler, a NCARB-certified professional architect with a 14-year track record in building envelope design and detailing. Schuyler, who is bi-lingual in Spanish, is also a LEED Accredited Professional with international practice experience. The Houston office augments Architectural Testing’s full service laboratory in Fort Worth, Texas.

“The services now available from the Houston office are in increasing demand as both designers and building owners seek to ensure the intended installed performance of complex building envelope systems, and to identify the source of post-occupancy problems that could surface with performance liability implications,” aid Dan Braun, Vice President for Regional Operations.

The Houston facility additionally offers a convenient local platform for plant inspection services for area manufacturers participating in ATI’s certification programs for the Florida Product Approval program, acoustic performance, blast resistance, roof impact resistance and other building product performance aspects.
