πŸŽ™οΈ Welcome to a new episode of the Your Project Shepherd Podcast! Listeners will gain valuable insights into the potential risks associated with exterior wall claddings and how to prevent major problems.

In this episode, we are joined again by Rhondalyn Riley (Water Intrusion Specialist/Consultant and owner of Exterior Inspections), to discuss building performance failures that happen due to common issues that arise with stucco, masonry, and other exterior wall claddings. In this conversation we emphasizes the importance of third-party inspections and the potential consequences of neglecting proper maintenance.

We also delve into the significance of establishing strong relationships with subcontractors and teaching them proper construction methods. Discover how external pressures can affect subcontractors' work and learn valuable insights on fostering positive relationships to ensure accurate execution.
