| Specifying mass timber component protection during construction |
|
Recently attended a webinar presented by a company that provides membranes for protection of mass timber components from weather related water exposure during construction. Specifications for these other products usually state only a performance requirement that the constructor will provide such protection, along with very limited or mostly no description of the specific products or methods. Asking how other specifiers have addressed this issue, as the vast majority of Constructors have no experience with mass timber construction, and the necessary appropriate weather protection of the product during construction.

| Jointly signed window warranties |
|
In some Architectural Master specs for aluminum windows, I've seen requirements for a “written <##>-year warranty signed jointly by manufacturer and installer, agreeing to repair or replace defective materials or workmanship, including non-compliance with specification requirements and industry standards, which result in failure of the window system, finish, glass, or parts.” What have you seen on your projects in your various locations around the country? Any input is greatly appreciated.
