FAÇADE ENGINEERING

Structural Calculations

Ensure the stability and safety of your facade designs with our precise structural calculations. Our analysis and expertise guarantee robust and reliable solutions, setting the foundation for architectural excellence and long-lasting structures.

Thermal Analysis

Our Thermal Analysis service comprehensively evaluates a façade’s thermal performance. We utilize advanced modelling techniques to simulate thermal behaviour, identifying potential heat loss and gain areas. This analysis ensures that our designs meet the highest energy efficiency standards, contributing to a building’s overall thermal comfort and reducing operational costs.

Condensation Risk Analysis

Our Condensation Risk Analysis assesses the potential for condensation formation within façade systems. This critical service helps prevent moisture-related issues, ensuring the longevity of façade materials and the comfort of building occupants. By analyzing temperature gradients and moisture levels, we offer strategies to mitigate condensation risks effectively.

Design Risk Assessment

Through our Design Risk Assessments, we identify and mitigate potential risks associated with façade designs. This proactive service ensures that design choices do not compromise the facade’s structural integrity, safety, or performance. Our expert analysis helps make informed decisions and safeguard against unforeseen issues during construction.

Glass Risk Assessment

Our Glass Risk Assessments specifically focus on the unique challenges of using glass in façades. We evaluate glass components’ strength, durability, and safety, considering impact resistance and thermal stress. This specialized assessment is vital for designing glass facades that are both stunning and secure.

Pre-Construction Design

In our Pre-construction Design service, we lay the groundwork for successful façade implementation. This involves detailed planning and coordination with construction teams to ensure the design is feasible and aligned with project goals. We address technical considerations early on, streamlining the construction process and minimizing the risk of delays or complications.

Testing Specifications

Our Testing Specifications service outlines the tests for façade materials and systems, ensuring they meet rigorous quality standards. From weather resistance to load-bearing capacity, we specify the testing protocols needed to validate the performance of façade components. This service is integral to delivering facades that are visually appealing, functionally superior, and compliant with industry standards.

Value Enginering

Our Value Engineering service is designed to maximize your project’s functional value by optimizing the cost and performance of facade systems. Through a systematic and collaborative approach, we scrutinize every aspect of the façade design to identify opportunities for cost savings without compromising on quality or aesthetics. We evaluate alternative materials, innovative construction techniques, and streamlined processes to reduce expenses while enhancing durability and energy efficiency. This service is crucial for clients looking to achieve the best possible outcome within budget constraints, ensuring that every investment in the façade contributes to long-term value and sustainability.

Our Full-Envelope Design service encompasses the complete architectural planning and detailing of the building’s exterior. We integrate aesthetics, sustainability, and functionality to create facades that not only captivate visually but also perform exceptionally in terms of energy efficiency and durability. This service ensures a cohesive design that aligns with the project’s vision and technical requirements, providing a seamless blend of form and function.

Specialised Design

Our Specialized Details service focuses on the nuanced aspects of façade design, offering tailored solutions for complex architectural elements. We bring precision to creating custom joints, intricate cladding systems, and innovative shading devices. This service is ideal for projects requiring detailed attention to achieve aesthetic distinction and technical performance.

Concept Design

Our Concept Design service lays the foundation for innovative façade solutions, offering a creative exploration of form, material, and technology. We work closely with clients to understand their vision and objectives, translating these into tangible designs that inspire and excite. This early design stage is critical for setting the project’s direction and establishing a solid conceptual basis for further development.

Design for Manufacture and Assembly

Our Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) Service embodies a forward-thinking approach to façade design, optimizing every aspect for manufacturing efficiency and ease of assembly on site. This service is rooted in the principle of integrating design with fabrication from the outset, enabling a seamless and cost-effective construction process. We focus on simplifying designs without compromising on aesthetics or functionality, ensuring that components are easily producible and can be assembled with minimal effort and time. Our DfMA methodology not only accelerates project timelines but also reduces material waste and construction costs. By collaborating closely with manufacturers and construction teams, we ensure that our designs are practical for fabrication and straightforward to install, embodying our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and excellence in the execution of facade projects.

3D Modelling

Our 3D Modelling service brings facade designs to life, providing a dynamic and interactive representation of the project. Through detailed 3D models, clients can clearly visualise the final outcome, allowing for informed decision-making throughout the design process. This service is invaluable for examining aesthetic aspects, understanding material interactions, and identifying potential design challenges early on.
