- How important is long-term durability in your philosophy – especially for below-grade or exposed concrete structures?
- Have you encountered aesthetics or design limitations caused by traditional waterproofing membranes or surface treatments?
- How much does innovation factor into your design decisions?
- How do you balance minimalist design goals with technical demands like waterproofing in high water table zones?
- Have you had clients come back with complaints about water related issues such as rising damp, leaking floors or slabs after occupancy?
- Are sustainability, LEED points, or green building practices a part of your design criteria?
- What do you look for in a waterproofing product? What products are you familiar with and what has been your experience with them?
- Would a waterproofing system that is fully embedded into concrete- requires no visible finish and self-seals cracks fit your design vision?

Value Propositions
- Durability that Protects Your Vision
KIM becomes part of the concrete matrix, lasting through the life of the structure. It protects your design against long-term water ingress, mold and rising damp, even in high water table zones. This will reduce future callbacks and modifications due to waterproofing failures.
- Design Freedom and Aesthetic Integrity
Enables exposed concrete, clean lines and minimalist detailing, especially for basements, rooftops, water features and retaining walls. It also eliminates visual compromises from surface waterproofing failures like bubbling, peeling and cracking.
- Sustainable, LEED- Friendly Designs
KIM admixture is non-toxic, VOC-free and helps reduce material waste on site. Fewer additional materials means lower carbon footprint and this supports LEED and other green building certifications.
- Reputation and Clients Satisfaction
Using KIM integral waterproofing system ensures your design maintains the desired performance without any dampness or water damage. This will enhance the architect’s reputation and greatly improve the client satisfaction index.
