Behind the Scenes and Above the Stage! DTR Consulting Services, Inc.'s work takes us to some truly fascinating places, and recently, we found ourselves exploring the hidden corners of a 1950s theater! From the intricate details above the stage to the stories these walls could tell, every visit reminds us of the beauty and history that buildings like this hold. Sometimes, making the right observations requires a little extra effort (and maybe a few extra steps), but it’s always worth it to ensure we fully understand the conditions at hand. Diagnosing all the details means we can address the challenges effectively—and preserve the integrity of spaces like this for future generations to enjoy. Here’s to celebrating the past while building for the future! #DTR #Architecture #HistoricBuildings #TheaterRenovation #BuildingWithPurpose #buildingscienceguys #dtrconsulting #architecture #constructionindustry #buildingenclosure #sustainability #buildingscience #enclosurespecialist #buildinglifecycle #Waterproofing

Being onsite is a crucial element of project management that brings designs to life and ensures each step aligns with client goals. But for many designers, architects, engineers, and owners, navigating a construction site can be a challenge. It’s about more than just technical know-how; it requires a blend of soft and hard skills to foster effective collaboration and seamless coordination with the construction team. At the recent Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) National Conference in Houston, Nathan Taylor, CSI, CDT of DTR Consulting Services, Inc., and Julie Foley, AIA CSI CDT teamed up to dive into this essential topic. Their co-presentation emphasized the significance of getting design team members onsite during construction and explored strategies for securing these crucial visits. Together, they discussed how to: 🔸 Highlight the value of onsite visits to clients as a key step in the project lifecycle 🔸 Prepare effectively for a site visit to maximize impact 🔸 Equip team members with skills to tackle onsite challenges with confidence If you’re looking to enhance your project management practices and foster stronger project outcomes, be sure to follow DTR Consulting Services, Inc. and Summit Design and Engineering Services for more insights! #buildingscienceguys #dtrconsulting #architecture #constructionindustry #buildingenclosure #sustainability #buildingscience #enclosurespecialist #buildinglifecycle #Waterproofing #ConstructionSpecificationInstitute #CSI #specifications #csicon24
