Our Warranty Department is responsive to any warranty concerns and schedules and conducts routine visits on your behalf during the warranty period. Code Compliance The Weitz Company’s experience in code compliance and our established relationships with the local building inspectors will produce fewer permit comments during the design phase, and provide a construction inspection plan that ensures the project is fully compliant and completed as scheduled. Our role as Owner’s Rep on the Broward County Courthouse and Garage project for the past five years provides evidence of our experience with the Florida Building Code, NFPA, ADA, and local environmental requirements. We coordinated the code requirements and obtained the necessary permits and approvals to help clear the Notice to Proceed for the project. Our efforts included significant coordination with Broward County; the City of Fort Lauderdale Zoning, Building Department, and Fire Plan Review; as well as several environmental agencies. We helped review and coordinate ADA items for the public access areas of the courthouse, and we helped review the Fire System Design for several NFPA concerns on the project. We also provided the engineering and management of the environmental permits required for the construction phase. We made certain the requirements for each agency were assembled and clearly addressed on the drawings so that the permits were in hand on time. 60 LEED projects in the Weitz portfolio: • 5 Platinum • 14 Gold • 24 Silver • 17 Certified
