How we work

Five steps, from first budget to long-term care.

  1. 01

    Feasibility

    We model cost and risk before the design is fixed.

  2. 02

    Value engineering

    We simplify fixings and profiles without changing the look.

  3. 03

    Mock-up testing

    A full-size sample is tested for air, water and movement.

  4. 04

    Factory assembly

    Panels are built under cover and shipped ready to lift.

  5. 05

    Aftercare

    We inspect and maintain walls and roofs after handover.
