Facade Engineering (The Science of the Facade)

This service is the technical bedrock of any high-performance building enclosure. We focus on structural integrity and technical feasibility to ensure your façade system is safe, durable, and fully compliant with international standards.

• System or Concept Design: We develop the foundational design and conceptual framework, studying the concept with detailed solutions and technical feasibility to ensure it respects the project's design standards and the architect's intent.

• Structural Calculation and Reports: We provide detailed engineering calculations and formal reports to verify the structural stability of all façade components against forces like wind, seismic activity, and gravity.

• Analysis and Static Requirements: We conduct detailed analyses and calculations of static requirements for profiles, glazing, cladding, and fixings in 2D or 3D. Evidence is always provided on the basis of applicable international or national standards.

• Shop Drawings and Working Drawings: We create precise, high-detail working drawings and shop drawings essential for accurate off-site fabrication and on-site assembly.

• Material Estimations: Accurate quantity surveying for all necessary profiles, glazing, cladding, and fixings ensures precise budgeting and procurement planning.
