Services
Thermal Analysis
Our thermal analysis evaluates building envelope elements to ensure energy efficiency and compliance with regulations. We assess curtain walls, windows, and rainscreen systems, balancing architectural aesthetics with performance. This service helps clients reduce long-term energy costs while meeting strict regulatory standards.
Finite Element Analysis
We use 2D and 3D finite element analysis to simulate structural behaviour under load. This identifies potential weaknesses in faade designs, ensuring robustness and safety. Our approach supports cost-effective solutions without compromising on quality or compliance.
On-Site Inspections
Our on-site inspections verify correct installation of complex faade systems. We work with clients and contractors to ensure workmanship aligns with design specifications, preventing long-term issues. This service enhances project outcomes through proactive quality assurance.
Specification Review
We review and refine project specifications to meet performance and aesthetic goals. Our expertise in faade systems ensures materials and methods align with client expectations and regulatory requirements, promoting efficient project delivery.
Testing Services
We coordinate on-site and off-site testing of faade elements, including water resistance and structural integrity checks. Our services include method statement preparation and liaison with test houses, ensuring accurate validation of design performance.
