FACADE DESIGN CONSULTANCY SERVICES
We co-operate with Architect and other consultants during the initial project stages to ensure that the designs are optimal with no excessive and un-necessary facade systems.
CONCEPT DESIGN
Review the architectural drawings and prepare a Preliminary Facade Design Scheme for glazing, cladding, and other structures. We take into consideration environmental issues, safety and security, design life, flexibility, access, maintenance, and capital cost. We work with the design team to define performance criteria to develop the facade concepts and technical aspects of the design. Advise on material, manufacturing, and construction methods.
DEVELOPED DESIGN
Work closely with the design team to develop the Construction Strategy Report. Such strategy can consider specific aspects of the design that may affect the buildability and construction sequence of the project, to satisfy the Access and Maintenance Strategy. We design the facade taking into consideration shading systems and solar control glazing. We design the facade taking into consideration thermal performance, minimization of cold bridging, and assessment of condensation task.
TENDER REVIEW
Provide technical input during the tendering process. Review technical proposals from tenders for compliance with tender requirements. Provide cost consultancy with any assistance required during the Tender Evaluation Stage.
POST DESIGN REVIEW
Review subcontractors’ submissions and provide comments on calculations, technical drawings, material specifications, and proposed construction methodology.
PREQUALIFICATION
If prequalification is involved, we support our clients in applying for particular facade projects. We advise on the selection of materials and design, cost estimates, the selection of suitable suppliers and subcontractors, and the development of a technically viable solution.
VALUE ENGINEERING
Work out alternatives and options with a view to improving the overall solutions. We take into consideration the entire building life cycle, aiming to provide a clear basis for decision-making, minimizing risk-taking, and the possibility of not-appropriate choices. We adapt and optimize the facade systems and solutions for a specific project, taking into...
