Cladding on a crowded Dunwoody site
New construction in Dunwoody tends to happen on constrained sites. Projects around Perimeter Center go up between operating office buildings, hotels, retail and busy roads, and infill projects elsewhere in the city often share property lines with open businesses or occupied buildings. Laydown space is limited, deliveries compete with traffic and the cladding trade usually works on scaffolds or lifts alongside several others.
On those projects, the order of work decides how the wall performs. The weather barrier has to be lapped correctly with the window flashing, the roof-to-wall transitions have to be flashed before the cladding covers them, and expansion joints have to land where the structure moves. When those steps get out of sequence, the result is a leak that shows up after turnover.
We review the drawings and specifications for those details at bid time and raise questions before the work starts, not after. We provide submittals and mockups as the project requires, coordinate with the window, roofing and framing trades on flashing responsibility, and plan our crews around your schedule and site logistics. The finished wall, whether three-coat stucco or drainable EIFS, is built to drain and to pass inspection.

Hard coat or EIFS for your project
Most commercial projects are specified for either three-coat portland cement stucco or a drainable EIFS, and some use both on different elevations. Hard coat stucco is a dense, impact-resistant cement finish built over a weather barrier, lath and weep screed. EIFS adds a layer of insulation board behind a reinforced base coat and finish, and makes larger foam profiles and cornices practical.
Whichever system is specified, the parts that decide whether the wall stays dry are the same: a continuous weather barrier, flashing at windows, parapets and roof-to-wall transitions, control or expansion joints where the design calls for them, and sealant at every termination. When we review your documents, we point out details that conflict with the system manufacturer’s requirements so they can be resolved before the bid is final, not during construction.
| System | Build-up | Often used on |
|---|---|---|
| Three-coat stuccoHard coat | Barrier, lath, scratch, brown, finish | Ground floors, high-traffic walls |
| Drainable EIFS | Barrier, insulation board, mesh, finish | Upper floors, large elevations |
| Foam profilesCornices, bands | Shaped foam, base coat, finish | Parapets, towers, accents |
| Combined facadesStucco and EIFS | Each system to its own spec | Mixed-use and retail |
From bid documents to final punch list
A facade crew that shows up when the wall is ready and leaves it ready for the next trade keeps your schedule intact.

Learn moreLogistics matter as much as the wall
Staging, deliveries and access often decide whether a Dunwoody cladding schedule holds.
Dunwoody sits at the junction of I-285 and GA 400, so materials and crews move in and out alongside some of the region’s heaviest traffic. On Perimeter-area sites, we coordinate delivery windows, hoisting and staging with the general contractor so cladding work does not block the trades or the neighbors. On smaller infill sites, we plan mixing areas, scaffolding and cleanup to keep adjacent properties open and the site safe.
Scheduled deliveries
Material deliveries timed around traffic and the general contractor’s site plan.
Submittals & mockups
Product data, samples and mockup panels provided as the project specifications require.
Trade coordination
Flashing responsibilities settled with the window, roofing and framing trades before cladding starts.
