Apartment Complex - Redmond, WA

Building Envelope and Guardrail Repair Design

After purchase of a large apartment community the client invested in capital improvements throughout the complex to decrease vacancies and increase value.

The apartment complex consists of 21 two-story buildings with 166 units and a leasing office.

AFTER

Pacific Engineering Technologies was hired as a building envelope consultant to assist the general contractor during the recladding of the buildings.  During construction we were also hired to design custom metal guardrails for each elevated unit deck.  The new guardrails had to meet code requirements and provide an aesthetically pleasing long term solution with low maintenance.  We developed a custom metal guardrail which could be constructed on-site and easily modified for deck configurations.
