Schematic façade design & engineering review
We analyse the concept options and recommend the system that best fits the design intent and the budget.
We run further analyses on the options developed during concept design and advise our clients on the best way forward.
We recommend systems that suit the design intent, meet budget constraints and resolve buildability issues, then develop the façade scheme with the project team — drawings, preliminary calculations and façade performance criteria.
Highlights
- 02.1
Option analysis
We test the options from concept stage with further analysis.
- 02.2
System recommendation
We recommend the façade system that best suits the design intent.
- 02.3

Getting the system right at schematic stage makes detailing and tendering easier from the start.
Frequently asked questions
What does schematic design deliver?
Façade scheme drawings, preliminary calculations and a summary of façade performance criteria.
How is the budget taken into account?
The systems we recommend are chosen to meet budget constraints as well as the design intent.
