Construction Consultation

Planning buildings, steel constructions, monuments and infrastructures, to withstand the intended service life in real environment conditions. Both in new constructions and rehabilitation or preservation.

Stemming from a deep understanding of the complexity and constraints in the construction field, we offer a variety of consultation services – to enable you make optimal decisions in non-optimal situations.

We are guided by 3 leading principles:
1. Durability: Buildings should withstand their planned service live in their planned environment. A building should be planned and constructed differently, if it is intended to stand in an aggressive environment.
2. Realism: Every project has vulnerablities, application errors and sensitivities, for which we should prepare, and minimize as much as we can.
3. Cost-effectiveness: Every project has a defined budget, and decision making should include cost reduction considerations – both for the short term (construction budget) and the long term (maintenance budget).

Our services are relevant to reinforced concrete buildings, steel constructions, monuments, road elements and infrastructures.

Planning stage:
– Current and expected future environment conditions a building is to withstand
​- Service life longevity and environment conditions durability planning
– Stray current resilience planning
– The planning stage holds the biggest opportunity for project costs reduction

The environment conditions (exposure levels) performance and economical significance is set mostly by Israeli standards 118, 466, 940.
There are many additional possibilities when considering other standards, such as 1045 (thermal insulation), 921 (fire resilience), 2378 (cladding) and more.

Application stage:
– Cement mixture requirements and characterization under IS-118 and IS-466
– Concrete consultation and characterization – focused on durability, workability and costs reduction
– Specifications and application definitions for corrosion resilience and management
– Specifications and application definitions for fire resilience
– Specifications and application definitions for wall-cladding
– Application general supervision

Rehabilitation Stage:
– Diagnosis of building skeleton condition, corrosion, concrete carbonation depth, water penetration sources, stray current sensitivity and damage
– Concrete rehabilitation and/or preventive maintenance 
– Wall-cladding rehabilitation and/or preventive maintenance ​
– Steel constructions rehabilitation and/or preventive maintenance​
– Flooring rehabilitation and/or preventive maintenance
– Application general supervision
