The Finish Line: EIFS Inspection
No doubt you are aware that the quality of EIFS is very dependent on the contractor. One way to ensure quality is to monitor the process of installing the EIFS as it is being installed. The inspector should not be the EIFS contractor, but an independent third party-usually someone that reports to the building owner.
There is work underway by ASTM to develop inspection criteria for installing EIFS. The criteria include:
If you’d like to have your say in this inspection criteria, you can take part via ASTM’s committee E6.58 on EIFS Performance, and vote and comment on what is being proposed. The current version of this proposed new standard can be found on ASTM’s Web site, www.astm.org and will be discussed at ASTM's next EIFS meeting (open to the public) in Tampa, Fla., at the beginning of November. -

The EIFS quality control standard that ASTM is developing is an important step forward, not only ensuring professionalism in construction Monkey Mart Game but also creating opportunities for stakeholders like you to participate in shaping the process, enhancing the practical value of future EIFS projects.
