A Varied Façade, a Coordinated Support System

Different cladding materials need carefully detailed supports and connections. Engineering and shop drawings coordinate these interfaces with the building structure and installation sequence.

Engineering and shop drawings for your installation

Services are tailored to the building, proposed work and agreed project scope.

  • Cladding supports and connections

    Design support framing, brackets, anchors and connections to transfer cladding loads to the supporting building structure.

  • Structural calculations

    Assess wind, seismic and gravity loads for the cladding system and supporting components within the agreed scope.

  • Shop drawings

    Prepare coordinated shop drawings showing panel layouts, support locations, connection details and installation requirements.

  • Installation coordination

    Review available architectural and structural drawings and coordinate interfaces with contractors, fabricators and the project design team.

How It Works

  1. Tell us about the project

    Share the building location, cladding materials, approximate scope and intended installation schedule.

  2. Review the system

    We review available drawings, product information and supporting structure to identify the required engineering and shop drawings.

  3. Receive a proposal

    We confirm the scope, deliverables and engineering fee for your review.

  4. Design and coordinate

    Once engaged, we prepare calculations and drawings and coordinate the agreed installation details.
