Facade & envelope
Your defects liability exposure. Water ingress is the largest single category of post-handover claim in attached housing.
The envelope detailed, sampled, installed and tested — because the rectification cost of a junction that was never detailed sits with the developer long after handover.

Step by step.
Facade strategy and compliance
System selection assessed against the NCC, fire requirements and the architectural intent.
Interface detailing
Window, balcony, roof and penetration junctions resolved in shop drawings.
Prototypes and samples
Physical approval before the first panel goes up.
ITPs and hold points
Inspection and test plans at each critical junction.
Water testing
Testing before lining, so a failure costs a day rather than a rectification.
The output, in your hands.
- A facade compliance statement
- Shop drawings for every junction
- Approved physical samples
- Water test records before lining
- Defect-prevention hold point register
To start, we need this.
- Facade and cladding specification
- Window and glazing schedule
- Any fire engineering requirements
