Introduction to the
Exterior Building Maintenance Manual
By
Hoffman Architects
500 Fifth Avenue
New York, NY 10110
The document that follows was prepared with one target audience in mind – a person with some building maintenance experience who would review the exterior envelope and component systems. The desire was for those individuals to have a common framework and basis for what to look at and report as potential problems with a goal of preventing small problems from expanding.
We have broken this manual out into its component parts in two different ways.
We have separated the Inspection Checklists to make it easier should you wish to print the checklist before looking at the system/component.
Please click on the link below to download the desired checklist in PDF form:
1. Roof Inspection Checklist
2. Exterior Walls Inspection Checklist
3. Curtain Walls Inspection Checklist
4. Window Inspection Checklist
5. Exterior Doors Inspection Checklist
In addition, to make it easier for users, we have separated the manual itself into its major system chapters.
Please click on the chapter link below to download the desired chapter in PDF form:
1. Introduction and Chapter One
2. The Roof
3. Exterior Walls Masonry
4. Exterior Walls Curtain Walls
5. Windows
6. Exterior Doors
7. Caulking
This will allow users to readily review and/or print out only those sections they need. A Custodian Engineer should, for example, take along a copy of the specific Section (with the checklist) when doing a review of the roof or the masonry. A review of the information in the section will help the CE know what the problems are and will assist on how to report the problem. Similarly other users may take a copy of the specific section when they are looking at a WOT submitted by the CE to assist in determining how to correct the problem.
