Charter’s extensive experience with construction defects repair helped facilitate remediation of this eight-building, 40-unit condominium project.

The owner’s tight budget ruled out the option of hiring an architect directly. Charter saved the owner time and money by hiring the Soltner Group Architects and facilitating weekly site meetings to streamline final design details. Contractor and architect formed an on-the-fly design-build relationship to flesh out final waterproofing details.

Repair work included the complete demolition and replacement of the vinyl siding, new building paper and replacement of wood sheathing and framing damaged by years of water intrusion. All decks received extensive repairs, and the roofs on all eight buildings – which did not meet current fire codes – were removed and replaced.

Charter took a complex project and turned it into a success story, completing the job within a quick five months with zero change orders to the homeowners.
