Summary of Investigation and Findings:
Pinnell Busch Inc. performed a thorough investigation of the Marquis Vintage Suites.

A remediation scope and detail drawings were prepared by Pinnell Busch Inc., and a qualified repair contractor was selected.

Pinnell Busch Inc. had oversight of the project during construction in order to ensure proper waterproofing details and directions were followed.
Pinnell Busch Inc. performed a thorough review of the construction budget and overall project schedule. This review was instrumental in the successful completion of the project.
