Layer 1 / Survey
The wall as found
We record plumb and level across the whole face before anything is ordered. A wall that is 40 mm out over three floors decides the bracket lengths, and the drawing will not tell you that.
Cladding picked off a brochure blows budgets. We match the system to your span and budget, then fit it.

Tap a system to isolate it on the facade
Most cladding overruns start with a system chosen for the render instead of the span. Six systems sit in the schedule below. Open any row for the detail, or filter to what your elevation needs.
Aluminium composite panels across large facade areas, set out on a clean grid so the joints line up floor to floor. We set the framing before the panels arrive, which is where most ACP jobs lose their line.
Glass bonded to its frame on the ground, then lifted and fixed to mullions set out floor to floor. Less work happens at height, fewer days are lost to weather and every bay reads the same from the road.
Toughened glass held at four points by stainless spiders, with no frame around the edge. Hole positions come off the shop drawing and are drilled before the glass is toughened, because nothing can be drilled afterwards.
Glass fins take the wind load across wide spans where a metal mullion would close the elevation down. The fin carries the frontage and the glass line stays clear, with spiders fixing the face panels back to each fin.
Wood polymer composite louvers that cut afternoon sun and give a facade the look of timber without rot, termites or polishing. Blade spacing is set against the sun angle on that face, so the shading works where the heat actually comes from.
Exterior grade high pressure laminate on a ventilated sub-frame. It holds colour on walls that take direct rain and sun, and a damaged panel comes off on its own without opening up the wall around it.
The panel is the part everyone sees. The line comes from the layers behind it. Scroll to build the wall one layer at a time, in the order we fix it on site.
Layer 1 / Survey
We record plumb and level across the whole face before anything is ordered. A wall that is 40 mm out over three floors decides the bracket lengths, and the drawing will not tell you that.
Layer 2 / Anchoring
Brackets are anchored into the structure at set centres. Slotted holes take up the variation in the wall, so the face can come out straight even when the building behind it is not.
Layer 3 / Framing
Aluminium or GI tubes are set true to a laser line across the full elevation. This is where an ACP facade keeps or loses its line, so the frame gets its own inspection before a panel goes up.
Layer 4 / Barriers
Fire stops close the cavity at slab edges where the building needs them, and a membrane goes on where the wall behind has to stay dry. Both get fixed before the cavity is closed, because nobody reaches them afterwards.
Layer 5 / Panels
Panels are routed and folded into trays in the workshop, labelled to their position, then hung on the frame. Every fixing leaves room for the panel to move with heat, which is what keeps it flat through summer.
Layer 6 / Closeout
Backer rod and weather silicone go into every groove, tooled flush. Protective film comes off inside the window the maker gives, before the sun bakes it onto the coating.
Answer three questions and the schedule reorders itself. Treat it as the start of the conversation; the site survey confirms the final specification.

ACP cladding
Relative fit only. Wind exposure, fire approval and access on your site can move the ranking.
Colour and joint grid change a facade more than any render suggests. Pick a PVDF shade, a panel grid and a joint type and the elevation redraws in front of you.
Panel grid 1200 mm / 36 panels on this face
PVDF finish
The safe default on office and showroom fronts. Hides dust between washes better than any flat colour.
Panel grid
Joint
Leaks, rattles and wavy panels start at the fixings and joints, rarely at the panel face. Tap a point on the section to see how each one is built.
Section A-A / detail
Seven stages, and nothing gets fabricated until the set-out is signed, because routed ACP and toughened glass cannot be resized. Keep scrolling to move through the build.
We walk every elevation, record plumb and level at each floor and photograph the structure the cladding will hang from. That survey sets the bracket lengths before anything else is decided.
The system is matched to the span, the exposure and your budget, then priced line by line: panels, sub-frame, brackets, sealing and access. No line appears later that was not on this sheet.
Panel sizes, joint grid, bracket centres and every glass hole go on the shop drawing. Fabrication starts only after you sign it, and we tell you the last date a change can go in.
ACP routed and folded into cassettes, sub-frame cut, glass ordered to the approved schedule. Every panel is labelled to its place on the elevation, so it goes up in order.
Brackets anchored, sub-frame set to a laser line and checked floor by floor. This stage decides whether the finished face is straight, so it is signed off on its own.
Cassettes hung, glazing units fixed, louvers and HPL set to the same grid. Movement gaps stay at every fixing so panels do not bow when the afternoon sun reaches them.
Joints sealed and tooled, glazing hose tested at the joints, film peeled on time. The snag list closes on the same visit, and the coating warranty goes into your handover file.

ACP
Project
Project engineers, architects and owners who watched the frame go up. All of it on work where we surveyed, framed and sealed the facade ourselves.
The sub-frame was checked floor by floor before a single panel went up, and the finished ACP face reads dead straight from the road.
One team did the ACP band, the spider entrance and the louvers, so there was never an argument about whose junction was leaking.
We changed the colour after the sample went up on site. They had already told us the last date a change could go in, and we made it with days to spare.
Straight answers on price, programme, fire ratings and upkeep. If it is not here, ask and we will tell you plainly.
Per square foot of finished facade, by system. Sub-frame, brackets, sealing and access sit on their own lines so you can see where the money goes. Survey, shop drawings and film removal are inside the rate, not added on top.
Area, height and access set the clock, so the programme comes with the price, worked back from your handover date. Fabrication cannot start until the set-out is signed, which makes a quick approval at stage three the biggest time saver.
Most do: an ACP band over glazing, louvers on the west face, HPL at the base. One team handles every junction between them, which is exactly where mixed facades tend to leak.
We give an indicative number from a drawing or photo the same week. The fixed price follows the site survey, because the wall behind the drawing decides bracket lengths and access.
We quote fire retardant core ACP on external facades by default and check the fire approval conditions for your building before we specify. Plain core ACP stays for interiors and signage, where the risk is different.
Usually one of two things: a sub-frame set by eye, or panels fixed too tight to move with heat. We set the frame to a laser line and leave movement at every fixing, which keeps the face flat through summer.
PVDF coatings hold colour and gloss under direct sun far longer than polyester coats. Ask for the coating maker's warranty in writing; we attach it to your handover file.
Film left on in strong sun bakes onto the coating and leaves marks that do not wash off. We peel it within the window the maker specifies, even when other trades are still on site.
Spider for entrances, lobbies and atriums where you want frameless glass at low to mid height. Semi-unitized for tall frontages, where building the units on the ground saves weeks of work at height.
Every glazed run gets a hose test at the joints before handover. Any leak is traced and resealed on the same visit, before the scaffold comes down.
Yes, through our glass works service: toughened panels, cabins, doors and fittings, measured and fitted by the same company. It costs less when it runs with the facade, since the survey and access are shared.
A wash with water and mild detergent once or twice a year for ACP, HPL, glass and louvers. Silicone joints get checked once a year, since sealant is what ages first.
Yes. We survey the old cladding, strip it, check the brackets behind and reuse the sound ones. Work runs one floor at a time, so an occupied building keeps running.
On cassette ACP and HPL, yes: one panel comes off without disturbing its neighbours. We keep the finish code on your handover file so a replacement matches the rest of the face.
