McGinnis Chen Associates Inc. provides a wide variety of services related to building enclosure consulting. McGinnis Chen Associates tailors our services to each individual client and project’s needs.
Initially, MCA meets with the client to review the project’s background, objectives, and requirements, and to become familiar with relevant documentation and site conditions as needed. Following this, MCA prepares a detailed proposal outlining the scope of services and project deliverables. This is followed by the discovery phase, which may include site investigations, forensic testing, research, review of project documentation, and coordination meetings with the project team. Based on these efforts, MCA provides recommendations along with a comprehensive Basis of Design for the building enclosure systems. MCA can then further develop and refine the design and provide support throughout the bidding, plan check, and permitting phases. Finally, MCA places strong emphasis on construction-phase oversight, recommending regular site visits and detailed reporting to help minimize miscommunication and prevent installation deficiencies.
