Montefaro Condominiums
La Jolla, CA
This project consists of 48 condominium dwelling units contained in 5 buildings that are 3-4 stories in height. The residential buildings are located on a podium deck over a single-level underground parking garage. Whitmore Architects investigated defective construction in the complex in the context of litigation, identifying leaking decks, leaking retaining walls, disintegrating galvanized steel wall base flashings, and leaking roofs as conditions which are causing damage. Additionally, the firm discovered significant defects in fire-stopping system installations throughout the project.
Whitmore Architects was subsequently retained as the Reconstruction Architect-of-Record for the repairs of the defects and damages identified during litigation. In addition to repairs of the conditions noted above, the firm is also providing project management related to the reconstruction of other engineering disciplines issues, such as back-fill remediation and related common-area swimming pool and BBQ replacements, replacement of a damaged drainage swale, replacement of horizontal waste lines in the parking garage, repair of central plant piping insulation, and repair of the recirculating hot water systems for each dwelling unit.
The construction budget was approximately $7.4M.
