Matt dives into the intricacies of exterior enclosures with Erika Bonfanti, Associate Principle at Austin-based Engineering Consulting firm Acton Partners. They touch on Erica's specialized role in construction investigation and consulting and reflect on their mutual Pittsburgh roots. From detailing the challenges in construction projects to emphasizing the need for educational client approaches, they cover it all. The discussion expands to past experiences with exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) and the evolution of construction practices, stressing the importance of continuous exterior barriers. Wrapping up, they tease a potential part two, promising to explore common construction mistakes, mold control tips, and hypothetical industry changes.
