Who typically requests a peer review?

We are often engaged by developers, architects, engineers, or building owners who want an independent second opinion at any stage of a project.

Peer Review

Q: What’s typically included in a Peer Review?

Each review is customized, but often includes documentation evaluation, structural detailing review, envelope constructability, or compliance with standards.

Q: When should we consider a Peer Review?

Peer Reviews are most effective before construction begins, but can also support projects mid-phase to confirm scope or resolve concerns.

Q: Will you be critical of other professionals?

No. CANY’s reviews are collaborative, solution-oriented, and grounded in professional respect. We aim to strengthen—not critique—project outcomes.

Q: Can we request a verbal review instead of a written one?

Absolutely. We tailor the format of our feedback to your project’s needs—whether that’s a detailed report, a summary memo, or a collaborative discussion.

Have a project in mind? We’d love to hear about it—let’s talk and see how we can help bring it to life.

When construction projects hit snags - unexpected issues, rising costs, or loss of momentum - an independent Peer Review can offer clarity and confidence. At CANY, we’re often asked to review other consultants work, and we welcome the same in return. These reviews can provide a fresh, objective look at a project, which can restore trust and identify overlooked issues before they escalate.

This service is especially valuable for:

Building owners and developers
Architects and engineers
Contractors and project managers

There’s a shared respect in this industry, we all want to make the right calls and make sure nothing has been overlooked or misinterpreted. Peer Reviews aren’t about fault, they’re about sharpening the work. They can focus on design, structural integrity, site challenges, or construction method. Or anywhere an extra set of experienced eyes might help.

If you're facing questions or want reassurance on your project's direction.

Why Peer Reviews Matter

Even the most seasoned teams can benefit from a second opinion. As projects evolve, scope shifts and new risks appear, it’s easy to lose perspective. Peer Reviews can help confirm key decisions or suggest alternatives when they’re not.

Common reasons for Peer Review:

The project’s scope has expanded
There are budget or timeline concerns
A client or stakeholder needs reassurance

We review with respect and rigor. We know what to look for and what to question without overcomplicating things. This leads to stronger decisions, better communication, and fewer surprises later on.

CANY’s Involvement

We don’t approach Peer Reviews as a critique, we see them as a contribution. Our goal is to strengthen the outcome. With decades of hand-on experience in façade restoration, building envelope consulting, and diagnostics, we’re able to quickly identify where things stand and where they might be headed.
