Alexander & Co. – Science in Building What is building science? Everything we do with buildings has a scientific basis. • The properties and behaviour of water is called chemistry. • The forces that weather applies to a building is called physics. • The study of mould and decay is called biology. • The healthy or unhealthy interaction of people living in buildings is called health science. So building science is just an essential part of everything we do with buildings. Alexander and Co seek to integrate building science into everything we do so we can; • Take guess work out of design • Accurately quantify any failure to make sure that diagnosis is not just an opinion • Test how your building really does perform • Make buildings more energy efficient Since 2000, we’ve been helping people across the country to design, remediate and improve their buildings. We offer market-leading services in; Building surveying Quantity surveying Dispute resolution Testing Enclosure design Swimming pool design Sustainability services Maintenance planning We’ve worked on healthcare facilities, education buildings, swimming pools, leisure centres, retirement villages, commercial buildings and multi-unit residential estates. We create healthier places to work and live. http://www.alexander.co.nz
