The Viridian Systems 360° Approach
addresses the entire roof, HVAC and energy management lifecycle
process. From construction/ condition analysis and recommendations, to
final inspection and continued inspection and maintenance, our
experienced professionals work in lock-step with building owners,
facility managers, architects, specifiers and contractors – customizing
solutions and protecting your building asset.
Sustainability requires one to
take a 360°approach to protect and prolong your facility — one that
will save time and money in the long term and extend
the life of your building asset. A Facility Condition Analysis (FCA) is
a vital tool that will assist in your efforts to deliver sustainable
maintenance solutions for your facility.
Why is having a Facility Condition
Analysis so important? Unless you have a detailed, documented knowledge
of the current condition of your facility, you cannot properly manage
it. A comprehensive review and collection of all information, including
critical areas of concern is a wise move. It leaves nothing overlooked,
assists in the effective management of a building’s assets, eliminates
surprise expenditures, and provides critical information necessary for
setting future budgets.
Non-destructive moisture surveys
provide an accurate method for determining the existence of moisture
within a roof system. The surveys utilize infrared, hydrogen detection
or capacitance technologies to locate any wet insulation that cannot be
detected through a visual survey. Trapped moisture will cause a loss of
insulating properties, premature failure of waterproofing membranes and
eventual damage to structural components. Early detection can prevent
extensive repairs or complete roof replacement.
The comprehensive information
documented within the Facility Condition Analysis allows for the
accurate prioritization of projects, both short and long-range, as well
as the correct appropriation of funding for those projects. Now more
than ever, you need to be diligent with your money and spend it on your
facility in the most productive manner. The Facility Condition Analysis
produces an effective picture of the overall state of the facility and
enables the best planning of repair, restoration or replacement. Who
wouldn’t want to get it done right the first time? Once a Facility
Condition Analysis is completed of your facility, we can then recommend
the appropriate sustainable solution that will maintain and prolong
your building assets.
Once the comprehensive facility
analysis is complete our 360° approach continues as we begin placing
value on these assets and determine cost for the diverse
recommendations. These costs are prioritized and budgets are
determined. The facility analysis provides all documentation necessary
to justify budget requests allowing implementation of recommended
priorities. Assistance is provided to help determine financial
resources required to implement facility maintenance or building
preservation programs, along with preparation of recommendation
submissions for budget allocations. We at Viridian Systems are
committed to tailoring quality sustainable solutions to fit your budget.
Step 3: System
Design and Specification Preparation
After reviewing the conditions
and understanding your fiscal restraints,our 360°approach drives us to
explore extensive system options. All critical factors of your building
requirements are thoroughly vetted. We work closely with the client, to
determine the best sustainable system selection and design.
Finally, we provide a complete scope of work along with a comprehensive
tailored specifications and detailed drawings.
Step 4:
Contractor Selection and Pre-bid Conference
With our approach, we come along
side every step of the way. After determining the best system solution
and designing those solutions around the best possible products, the
next most critical requirement is the installation. The 360° approach
helps the customer determine qualified contractors who have the
customer’s best interests in mind.
That contractor must meet the
following critical criteria:
Safety First Attitude with a low EMR
High Quality Trained Supervisory and Labor Force
Quality Equipment
Excellent Track Record of Satisfied Customers
This approach brings you one step
closer to a quality installation by utilizing our extensive industry
expertise and a network of highly reputable resources. Protecting your
building asset and providing the best performance solution for long
term sustainability is our ultimate goal.
The Pre-bid Conference is a
valuable tool in the bidding process. It is the key opportunity
to meet and greet everyone involved in the bidding process, to make
sure everyone is on board with all the requirements and details of the
project, and answer any important questions regarding it.
Once a submitted proposal has
been chosen as the best solution, in terms of value, to the project for
which the RFP was issued, an Award of Contract is then issued to the
corresponding provider and our 360° goes into action once more.
Step 6: Ongoing
Quality Assurance & Final Inspections

high quality product to the jobsite. Throughout the entire project
life-cycle process, thorough, detailed inspections will be conducted to
