Design Leadership for Façade Projects
15+ years of façade design management and coordination
We provide experienced design leadership that brings structure, clarity, and control to façade design delivery — helping contractors and subcontractors reduce risk, improve coordination, and keep programmes moving.
Where Projects Commonly Struggle
From our conversations with clients, one issue comes up again and again: the knowledge gap is not limited to preconstruction.
It continues through live projects, especially during the design stage, where coordination, accountability, and technical leadership are critical.
Main Contractors
- Coordinating subcontractors to the required design standards
- Inconsistent drawing quality
- Limited understanding of design interfaces between trades
- Delays caused by unclear expectations and incomplete reviews
Subcontractors
- Managing the design process internally
- Reviewing and implementing latest revisions
- Maintaining drawing protocols and approvals
- Keeping design deliverables aligned with programme dates
For the Project as a Whole
- Design ownership becomes unclear
- Technical risks go unnoticed too long
- Interfaces between packages are missed
- Programme pressure leads to rushed or poorly managed submissions
Our Service to You
We establish control over the design process by managing key deliverables, defining responsibilities, and helping teams maintain momentum against programme.
Design Coordination
We coordinate the technical relationship between the façade package and surrounding trades, helping avoid clashes, missed interfaces, and late-stage design issues.
Including;
- trade interface reviews
- coordination of brackets and secondary metalwork
- alignment with structural and architectural requirements
- drawing review and comment management
- support across design meetings and workshops and comment management
Technical Risk Review
We review key design risks early and throughout the process to reduce downstream issues during manufacture and installation.
Included Points
- thermal bridging
- condensation risk
- fire compartmentation and cavity barriers
- specification compliance
- buildability and interface risk
Document & Drawing Control
Strong information management is essential to effective delivery. We help ensure the right information is reviewed, issued, and used at the right time.
Including;
- latest revision control
- drawing protocol management
- internal vetting processes
- controlled design issue workflows
- audit-ready information records
Experienced Across Industry Platforms
We work confidently within established common data environments and project information systems, helping clients maintain control, visibility, and accountability throughout design delivery.
Platforms Such as;
- Dalux
- Aconex
- Asite
- Autodesk Construction Cloud

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you support both main contractors and subcontractors?
Yes. We work with both, tailoring our involvement to the needs of the project team and package responsibilities.
Can you support live projects already in the design stage?
Yes. We regularly support projects where design coordination needs strengthening during active delivery.
Do you only work on façade packages?
Our focus is façade design leadership and coordination, particularly where interface management and technical review are critical.
Can you work within our existing systems?
Yes. We are experienced with platforms including Dalux, Aconex, and Asite.
What type of risks do you help identify?
We support reviews around coordination issues, drawing quality, thermal bridging, condensation risk, fire stopping interfaces, and specification compliance.
