Glazing Consultants International LLC

Glazing Consultants International, LLC, provided building envelope consulting services for The Peabody Orlando’s $450 million dollar expansion, which includes over 200,000 square-feet of meeting space, a 32-story tower with 750 new guest rooms and a new parking garage for 2,100 cars.

“This was an exciting project because GCI was able to work on the entire exterior utilizing our glazing, waterproofing and roofing specialists," said Paul Beers, Managing Member of GCI. "This is a prominent landmark in Orlando, and we are proud to have been a part of its growth.”

The assignment spanned several years. GCI first performed an initial survey to help determine how to integrate the existing structure with the new expansion and then collaborated with the owner and architect on the design. Throughout the construction process, GCI provided quality-control services, including review of drawings and submittals, site observations and field water infiltration tests.

GCI is a consulting firm that specializes in the exterior building envelope, including windows, doors, glazing, exterior walls, waterproofing and roofing. GCI has been in business since 1988 and has worked on projects worldwide, including hotels, hospitals, office buildings, government buildings and residential structures.
