Facade Restoration Part 2: The Real Cost of Delays | Matthew Jaworski | Brend Restoration | Eps #122

Matthew Jaworski of Brent Restoration is back for round two, and Sisto and Matthew picked up right where they left off. This time they get into the mechanics of a facade project from start to finish — what actually triggers the work, how an unsafe condition or a five-year cycle gets things moving, and why your building's insurance and ability to borrow money can hinge on the state of your envelope.They spend a lot of time on the single biggest source of delay that Matthew sees on his jobs: neighbor licensing agreements. If you've ever wondered why a sidewalk shed goes up before anyone's even talking about the actual scope of work, this is the episode that explains it.They also get into how the products have changed — terracotta, membranes, sealants, roofing — and why Matthew's take is that most failures aren't about the product at all, it's about the installation. Plus a look at where technology and AI are (and aren't) changing the trade, and why soft costs on a project have crept up so much over the years.If you're a building owner, property manager, or anyone who touches facade and envelope work, this one's packed with the kind of detail you won't get anywhere else.Thanks for watching.
