The Zero/Six Consulting team a great time at our company outing on the water before the mid-year meeting last week. Wish we were on a boat right now! #Weekendvibes #Teambuilding #Workperk
It's not often that the entire Zero/Six team is together in one room. But when we are, it's a lot of fun! Last week, we had our mid-year meeting to celebrate, recognize and reflect on current company efforts and the accomplishments of our amazing team members! We even witnessed history as our “Song of the Day” John Wayne trophy holder, Brandon McDermott, passed his long-held title to Zack Johnson. The future looks bright at Zero/Six! #Growth #ProudtobeZ6
Site visit! Our senior field specialists were on-site to conduct quality control inspections for the addition to Wisenbaker Engineering Building, part of Texas A&M University’s new Engineering Quad. This addition supports the guiding principles of Dwight Look College of Engineering's 25 by 25 initiative to enhance students’ educational experience and respond to the workforce needs of the industry. The program is designed to increase access for qualified students to pursue engineering education and grow the University’s total enrollment to 25,000 students by 2025. Zero/Six’s scope of work encompass a variety of envelope services throughout the design, construction and commissioning phases, including peer reviews, submittal reviews, QA/QC inspections throughout the construction of the building envelope, and performance testing of fenestrations and roofing systems. #WeKeeptheOutsideOut #BuildingfortheFuture
While performing a punch walk out on Trinity roof at Baptist Hospitals of Southeast Texas, WHCI field specialists happen to stumble across a guitar and mic fabbed out of some EPDM. WHCI are on-site to oversee the remediation of the existing roof to resist wind uplift pressures while ensuring minimal impact to the occupied hospital facility should another windstorm event occur. #HappyFriday
Site visit! Associate Principal Daniel Hodge was on-site to conduct a preliminary review of the exterior mock-up at Hedwig Place, a 102,474-square-foot, five-story, Class A medical office building located in Hedwig Village, an affluent, independent municipality of Houston’s booming west side. Developed by Stream Realty Partners and AMD Global, Hedwig Place is situated on two acres in the heart of Memorial Villages, three miles from Memorial Hermann Memorial City Medical Center and within minutes of Houston’s popular Uptown District.

Our strategic partner Coltzer Company just launched their brand new website today. Check it out - www.coltzercompany.com/! Now, when our clients ask, “Can you build it?” We have the answer. Coltzer Company, LLC is a throw-back to the original Coltzer family construction business started by Louis Oliver in 1953. At that time it was The Oliver Company, Inc and by the early 1960’s it employed a carpenter, soon to be foreman, then estimator, then vice president, then owner…W.H Coltzer, Sr. #oldschool #ConstructionManagement #WeCanBuildIt

A Message from Our CEO: My Tenure as a Stucco Nerd bit.ly/2tGr8cf

It seems perplexing that since the control joint was invented by Raymond Clark in 1955, there have never been large-scale tests of the function and movement when subjected to shrinkage or thermal vari...The results are in for our long-term study of a 1200-square-foot stucco mock-up in Galveston, TX. The purpose of study was to document the differences in performance of stucco systems where the lath was cut behind control joints vs. continuous lath. In the report, we share our process of discovery and how theories were verified and myths dispelled after conducting extensive performance testing that could likely impact future codes related to stucco installation. Thank you to our partners Tim Rogan, Z6 Commissioning, LLC, and Chad Dupee. Check out the results here - lnkd.in/erf4Y-A. #PerformanceAssurance #LaboratoryTesting #StuccoInstallation
