SDS was engaged to complete a series of condition assessments of the exterior facade and roof of the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust’s building portfolio consisting of 16 buildings. The analysis covered a diverse range of architectural styles and structures, ranging from 1890 to present and including masonry structures, stucco systems, architectural metals, and curtain walls. We completed historical research, reviewed all of the properties with current property management teams, and used a variety of tools to evaluate each building’s current condition. Following the assessment, we prepared 10-year maintenance plans for the buildings which included detailed reports with repair recommendations and anticipated costs. All of the work was prioritized based on the building’s current condition and the Cultural Trust’s intent for each property.
