Façade Engineering for GRC

We provide comprehensive Glass fibre Reinforced Concrete (GRC) façade engineering services, integrating advanced BIM workflows, structural engineering principles, and precision-driven production methodologies. Our technical expertise ensures complete alignment between architectural intent, structural performance, fabrication accuracy, and on-site installation.

Our 12-Step Process

01.

Quantity Surveying

• Detailed Material take-off of façade materials
• Preparation of BOQ as per specifications
• Cost estimation & rate analysis
• Assessment of fixing systems and structural accessories
• Budget planning & cost control
• Value engineering recommendations
• Tender review & commercial comparison
• Variation claims and change-order evaluation
• Final account preparation

02.

Mock-ups & Prototype

Development of full-scale or partial prototypes to evaluate structural behaviour, anchorage systems, joint configurations, surface finishes, and geometrical tolerances prior to mass production.

03.

Concept & Proposal

Preparation of technically compliant proposal drawings that define panel geometry, fixing systems, expansion joints, support brackets, embedment details, and preliminary load paths.

04.

BIM Modelling (LOD 450)

Creation of high-fidelity BIM models directly coordinated with the architectural model. Our BIM outputs include:
• Parametric GRC panelization
• Fixing brackets and anchor assemblies
• Integration with structural, architectural, and MEP disciplines
• LOD-specific metadata for production and site execution

05.

Shop Drawings

Generation of fabrication-ready shop drawings featuring:
• Panel segmentation logic based on curvature and allowable dimensional limits
• Assembly codes, serialised panel IDs, mold reference numbers
• Sectional details
• Connection details
• Tolerance specifications and installation interfaces

06.

Structural Analysis & Calculations

Facade structural calculation ensures that building façades are safe, durable, and fully compliant with all relevant codes and standards. Our team of specialized structural engineers and architects performs detailed analyses to verify that façades can withstand various loads, including wind, snow, seismic forces, and thermal stresses.

07.

Multidisciplinary Coordination (via ACC)

Integration with MEP, structural, and architectural teams using Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) to synchronize design data, resolve interface discrepancies, and maintain real-time coordination.

08.

Clash Detection & Interference Analysis (Navisworks)

Running advanced clash detection to identify:
• Panel-to-structure conflicts
• MEP route intrusions
• Tolerance and clearance violations
• Misalignment with steel or RC support structures

09.

As-Built BIM Modelling

Compilation of accurate as-built models reflecting final installed panel positions, bracket adjustments, reinforcement deviations, and site modifications for future maintenance and facility management.

10.

Production Drawings (Fabrication Detailing)

Precision Detailing: Production-ready drawings that define panel geometry, assembly, and installation.

Precision Detailing: Production-ready drawings that define panel geometry, assembly, and installation.

Material Specification: Clear bill of materials with cutting lengths, orientation, and quantities.

2D & 3D Visualization: Combines detailed 2D views with realistic 3D representations for better understanding.

Expert Team: Skilled draftsmen and façade specialists ensuring accuracy and manufacturability.

Efficiency & Cost Savings: Minimizes errors, reduces delays, and optimizes time and resources on-site.

Design Integrity: Ensures your architectural vision is executed exactly as intended.

 

11.

Setting Out & Installation Drawings

Preparation of precise setting-out plans indicating:
• Coordinate-based panel positioning
• Elevation benchmarks
• Anchor and bracket layout
• Installation sequencing and alignment controls

12.

On-Site Technical Coordination

Engineering supervision and coordination for:
• Panel erection sequencing
• Bracket alignment
• QC inspections for tolerances and fixings
• Resolution of field deviations and constraints
