DaSilva Building Consulting specializes in Construction Specifications, Peer Review, and Building Enclosure Consulting. Our focus is on improving the quality of construction documents and the efficiency of project delivery.

Specifications services

We prepare full-length project specifications, short-form sheet specs, preliminary project descriptions, and office master specifications. Our services also include product research, terminology coordination, and construction contract administration.

peer review services

Our reviews are tailored to each project, with an emphasis on coordination, completeness, code compliance, and constructability. These reviews supplement in-house QA/QC programs by helping senior staff focus on critical issues and by identifying errors and omissions that may be overlooked by the project team. The result: fewer bidding errors, RFIs, change orders, and delays—preserving design intent, profitability, and client relationships.

building enclosure consulting services

We collaborate with design teams to define assemblies, select materials and systems, evaluate options through computer modeling, and coordinate detailing at control layer interfaces (air, water, vapor, thermal). We also provide existing condition assessments and construction observation, leveraging expertise in building science, roofing, waterproofing, and cladding systems.
