Building Facade Consultant
Engineering
Facade Solutions & Systems
From initial concept to full completion, Outin investigates, evaluates, prepares designs solutions, and provides construction administration for exterior building façade components, including roofs, walls, windows/glazing, waterproofing, etc. We collaborate closely with the façade specialist contractor at all project phases to deliver facade and building envelope systems that address architectural intent, long-term performance, sustainability, scheduling, and budget objectives.
Façade contractor support
Leveraging our experience, we assist facade contractors in reviewing existing systems for new projects or designing custom solutions. Our expertise ensures compliant designs aligned with goals, codes, and regulations.
Shop Drawings
We excel in producing comprehensive shop drawings, securing approval from architects and consultants with detailed plans, elevations, schedules, and sections.
Structural Analysis
A complete structural analysis for all the façade components including, but not limited to glass, supporting frames, fixing brackets, sealant, GRC.. Ensuring compliance with standards and project specs using advanced software.
Fabrication Drawings
Our skilled engineers and fabrication industry experts create detailed drawings to identify the different materials, accessories, cutting lengths, orientation, etc.
Connect with Excellence – We're Eager to Hear from You!
Façade contractor review
During the delivery of the project, we undertake a verification process of the Facade Contractor’s design (by workshops, desktop review and attendance at testing laboratories) of:
Shop drawings checking
Engineering calculations review
Method statements verification
Material samples checking
Prototype testing methodology & laboratory verification
Visual mockups
Fabrication quality audit
Installation quality audit
Our review takes into account buildability, engineering calculations, structural adequacy, compliance with design specifications, materials technical data and quality control process of fabrication and site installations, ensuring compliance of the delivery to the intended design.
Integration of Sustainability
- The building façade plays a pivotal role in design sustainability and overall building performance. We consider active and passive façade systems to manage thermal heat gain or loss effectively.
- Material composition is assessed for its impact on integrated energy usage. We prioritize the comfort of building occupants, focusing on natural lighting and ventilation.
- Sensitivity studies on façade materials for envelope thermal transfers inform our intelligent design approach.
- Our aim is to promote environmental protection and improvements through our design and specifications.
Tall & Complex Facades
The impact of the building facade on sustainability design is key to building performance. Understanding active and passive facade systems in Tall buildings & complex facades provide challenges to the building design, in relation to:
Tall & Complex Facades
Interfacing facades with building structure
Accommodation of building movements by the façade envelope
Thermal, acoustic and daylighting analysis
Construction methods and access
Facade geometry and suitability of systems
Fabrication limitations
Quality audits of installation
Building maintenance access strategies
