Façade Access & Maintenance
Strategy Design
Why Facade Access is required in buildings?
Since Facades and Roofs are the protective skin of buildings, they withstand environmental forces over the building's lifetime. The facade and roof surface might become defective over time, but at a minimum, their appearance will differ due to dirt accumulation.
Every facade & roof surface requires periodic inspection for signs of failure, and a maintenance program may be required to keep it performing.
Every facade & roof surface also requires periodic cleaning to address aesthetic imperfections and prevent long-term failure of joints, accessories, and service fixtures.
What is Facade Access & Maintenance Strategy?
Access & Maintenance Strategy is the design assessment of access and maintenance methods, periods, cleaning regimes, and required tools, collated into a report.
Why Facade Access is crucial?
When the architectural design is extraordinary, the building's facade & roof area are more complex than in conventional designs. In such cases, innovative access strategies and bespoke BMU design should be employed to avoid costly cleaning & maintenance in future.
How do we approach Facade Access & Maintenance?
We conduct a holistic review of the architect's design, service engineering requirements, and the client's budget to assess all risks and potential issues arising from the building's location, function, geometry, and other aspects.
We compile all inputs, craft the most efficient facade access strategy, incorporate building maintenance units where required, and innovate custom solutions for complex cases.
We assist Architects and EPC Contractors in designing and engineering a reliable facade access & maintenance strategy. Our expertise in access & maintenance design was gained through multiple bespoke and large-scale facade and roof projects.
We design safe, code-compliant access and maintenance strategies for façades and roofs from the earliest stages of the project lifecycle. Our work protects long-term façade performance while ensuring compliance with local regulations and international best practice.
