FAÇADE CONSULTANCY

Services are tailored to the requirements of our clients and projects.

From early assistance with concept design, material choice, cost-planning and specification writing for Architects to full project and construction management including detailed design and engineering, construction and fabrication detail for Contractors and Developers.

Our talented team are driven by a desire to excel for our clients and deliver compliant building envelopes of exceptional quality with technical and cost efficiency.

DESIGN

Our design studio creates engineering solutions that are as efficient and technically excellent are attractive.

2D, 3D and BIM (Building Information Modelling) using Autodesk AutoCAD and Revit are used to provide an integrated design for construction and off-site fabrication.

With the benefit of an ever-changing palate of materials and processes, project-specific bespoke facades are proven with structural calculations, thermal modelling, condensation risk analysis and both on-site and off-site CWCT, acoustic, fire and specialist material testing.

We are passionate in our desire to create beautiful buildings and believe that good carefully considered design using the correct choice of materials will result in stunning aesthetics.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Services are tailored to the requirements of our clients and projects. Our approach concentrates on delivering compliant efficiently designed and constructed facades, reducing risk to programme and cost.

Typically engaged to undertake the management of the design, procurement of off-site fabrication, on-site construction with installation auditing including CWCT, thermal imagery, acoustic and air infiltration testing, through to completion including Quantity Surveying services.

With a proven track record of delivering high-quality facades we bring together specialist contractor experience with, if required, an extensive supply-chain of large-scale manufacturers, quality bespoke fabricators and efficient highly-skilled installers.

DEFECTS INVESTIGATION

With consideration to the sensitive nature of this type of work, we provide a confidential investigation and reporting service for problematic and failing facades.

The service is appropriate to the individual issues and these range from an initial desk-top study to on-site CWCT testing and comprehensive de-constructive investigations.

Our reports are drafted with the benefit of sound technical knowledge and extensive specialist contractor experience and are presented in clear unambiguous format detailing causation and remedial proposals.

CONSTRUCTION

With an emphasis on understanding our clients and their requirements beyond the paperwork we forge relationships that are built on trust, integrity and delivery, often over consecutive projects.

Whether working on traditional-contract or Design-and-Build we work in a spirit of collaboration with the Client, Excel Architectural and the other interested stakeholders to deliver the project as efficiently and quickly as possible with an emphasis on the minimisation of risk and delivering exceptional quality.
