Facade engineering

We provide independent technical advice at each key phase of the facade design and procurement. Professional facade engineering consultancy services offered:

To Architects

We support the design objectives from early schematic stage, offering independent advice on material and system selection, and working to ensure technical feasibility of the aesthetic concept within the budget. We offer an integrated approach to building envelopes based on thermal performance, acoustic compliance and structural soundness, brought together into well proportioned elements, clean lines and fine detailing that contribute to the architectural quality of the completed project. Our work is coordinated with all related disciplines to integrate external lighting, building maintenance, signage, etc into the design.
