• FAÇADE CONSULTANCY
Our approach to the building envelope begins with understanding the architectural vision and the process of delivering a technically sound, performance-driven façade solution.
Services We Offer
Façade consultants work closely with architects, engineers, developers, and contractors to ensure that a building’s exterior is:
- Aesthetically Appealing – Aligns with the architectural vision and enhances the building’s appearance.
- Structurally Sound – Can withstand wind, seismic forces, and its own weight.
- Thermally Efficient – Provides insulation to reduce energy consumption.
- Water & Air Tight – Prevents leakage and ensures durability.
- Fire-Safe – Meets fire-resistance standards and safety codes.
- Buildable & Cost-Effective – Can be practically constructed within budget and time constraints.
Scope of Work Might Include
- Façade system selection such as curtain walls, cladding, glass, stone, and metal panels.
- Material analysis and sourcing.
- Thermal, acoustic, and structural performance analysis.
- Façade access and maintenance planning.
- Technical drawings and 3D modelling.
- Compliance with building codes and sustainability standards.
Common Projects
Façade consultants are involved in high-rises, commercial buildings, airports, malls, and even restoration of historical façades.
In short, façade consultancy bridges the gap between architectural design and engineering performance for the external layer of buildings.
Concept Stage
At this stage, Proactive Facade Management Solutions Pvt. Ltd. assists architects and all project stakeholders in establishing the performance criteria of the façade system. This includes evaluating various design options and façade typologies at an early stage to avoid design conflicts, constructability challenges, and cost-prohibitive solutions during later phases.
With inputs from our façade experts, potential risks and technical constraints are identified and addressed before progressing into the detailed design development stage.
- Review of architectural drawings with a focus on façade feasibility and constructability.
- Review of wind tunnel test reports or wind load analysis in accordance with local wind codes.
- Review and assessment of multiple façade design options.
- Recommendation of suitable façade types and available system options.
- Recommendation of appropriate material options based on performance and durability.
- Concept design development and comparison of alternative façade systems.
