The building fabric offers unique engineering and design opportunity – it combines as filter, moderator and barrier, affecting the day-to- day and life performance of the building and the comfort of the occupants. Every project has its own particular requirements and we seek to be able to employ our capabilities and our skills to achieve the best result for our clients.

Design of new façades
Based on our industry experience we work closely with building owners, architects and main contractors and subcontractors to design and develop high-performance façade systems.
Structural adequacy, building movement and tolerances, thermal performance, weather resistance (water and air infiltration), acoustic and fire performance of the various façade systems and their interfaces are all design aspects, that enter in our consideration. The application of buildability and practical construction is central to the way in which we design and work.
