  • QEWI / FISP report

Our team can review the documentation, visit the property to verify field conditions and prepare a proposal for the applicable repairs.

Our process

How Pioneer Handles FISP Repair Projects

Step 1

Review the repair documents

We review the available engineer or QEWI report, drawings, specifications, photographs and repair schedule to understand the required scope.

Step 2

Site visit and field review

Our team visits the building to review existing conditions, work areas, access requirements and quantities.

Step 3

Proposal and scope

Pioneer prepares a proposal based on the project documents and observed conditions.

Step 4

Access and site protection

Appropriate access and protection are set up according to the project requirements and site conditions. Depending on the project this may involve supported scaffolding, suspended access or other appropriate access systems.

Step 5

Facade and masonry repairs

Our crews perform the contracted masonry, brick, parapet, lintel, waterproofing and other exterior restoration work.

Step 6

QEWI and engineer coordination

Completed repair areas can be made available to the building’s QEWI or engineer for professional review.

Step 7

Punch list and completion

If corrective items within Pioneer’s contracted scope are identified during review, those items can be addressed as required for project completion.

One coordinated scope

Facade Restoration Under One Contractor

FISP repair projects often involve several types of exterior work. One elevation may need mortar joint repairs while another needs brick replacement. Roof level conditions may involve deteriorated parapets or coping, while window openings may need lintel related masonry repairs. Pioneer can combine multiple exterior restoration trades into one coordinated repair scope.

Brick and Masonry Repairs

We perform pointing, brick replacement and localized masonry repairs where deterioration has been identified.

Parapet Repairs

Pioneer performs localized parapet repairs and more extensive rebuilding where required by the project documents and existing conditions.

Lintel Repairs and Replacement

Deteriorated steel lintels can cause cracking and displacement of masonry above window and door openings. Pioneer can perform applicable lintel replacement and associated masonry work when included in the project scope.

Facade Waterproofing

Cracks, failed joints and deteriorated exterior materials can lead to water infiltration. Waterproofing, sealants and related repairs can be included in the facade restoration scope where required.

Safe access

Access for NYC Facade Repairs

Exterior restoration often requires access to areas that cannot be reached safely from the ground. Depending on building conditions and project requirements, facade repairs may use supported scaffolding, suspended access or other appropriate access systems. Access and protection requirements are reviewed during estimating so they can be built into the project approach and proposal.

Working With Property Managers, Engineers and Building Owners

Facade restoration involves more than performing masonry work. Property managers and building professionals need a contractor who can review project documents, provide clear pricing, coordinate access and scheduling, document progress and respond appropriately to field conditions discovered during construction. Pioneer works with the building’s professional team to perform the repair portion of the FISP process. For an overview of how the inspection and repair process works, property managers can read our Local Law 11 NYC FISP repairs guide.
