Bring insulation, membranes and openings together with careful installation and clear checks.

The example

What the work involves.

The junctions around windows, roofs and walls need the same attention as the larger building elements. This detail illustration explores the coordination and workmanship involved in completing the building fabric.

Construction scope

  • Review insulation, membrane and opening details with the design team.
  • Coordinate the sequence between frame, envelope and service penetrations.
  • Check installation and arrange the specified inspections and tests.

Green focus

The building’s intended energy performance depends in part on how its specified details are put together. Keep continuity, protection and the performance requirements visible as work passes between trades.

Working together

Designers, envelope specialists and installers review the interfaces together. Any change to a product or junction needs to be checked against the project’s technical, safety and environmental requirements.

From decisions to records

Keep the detail clear.
