StuccoMetrics.com is a stucco wall cladding system
information resource made available at no cost to serve anyone interested in
stucco. It is the only known current stucco industry resource from an architects perspective. Intended for building owners,
design and construction professionals, craftsmen, product manufacturers, and
inspectors - to advance and proliferate the art, science, quality and
performance of stucco, to educate, foster achievement of high-quality stucco
and to avoid stucco failures. The essence of StuccoMetrics.com is to focus only on what is best for stucco
without other distractions; admittedly it is only one perspective among many.
Its bias is decidedly pro-stucco,
and not exclusive towards the designer, installer, product manufacturer or
inspection communities. Not every stucco subject can be presented on these webpages so the focus is on important stucco topics of
interest to most and some are just to illustrate the beauty of stucco.
Periodic updates will be included in the future so be sure to check this
website from time to time. |
As an architect, I bring 30 years of
comprehensive experience in architecture and construction disciplines to new
construction and renovation projects to StuccoMetrics.com.
My built work includes a spectrum of new construction and renovations from
large corporate campuses, institutional buildings, urban high
rise towers, historic buildings, to multi-family developments and
single-family residences. Stucco is appropriate and can be considered a
premium exterior wall cladding for any of these applications. Lessons learned
from the forensics community inform all aspects of my practice. I am
available for consultation through Simpson Gumpertz and Heger, from any of
our nationwide offices. My team of architects and engineers, our in-house
comprehensive laboratory and extensive stucco reference resource library
archives are available for your next stucco or building enclosure-related
assignment. Please contact me directly if I can assist you in any way. My technical work regarding stucco has been published in ASTM, CSI
and RCI publications, and presented at various national and local symposia
and webinars. I hold or have held various industry and building code
certifications such as Plans Examiner, Building Inspector, Construction
Specifier, Construction Contract Administrator and
others. I founded and lead the ASTM C11 Stucco Work
Group that develops the Minimum Stucco Industry Standards such as ASTM C1063
and ASTM C926. Serving Architects, Developers, Institutions, Contractors, Product Mfrs.: ·
