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 architect’s 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.
