How Façade Consultants
Is Doing Things Differently

We can come in at any time during a project for troubleshooting and problem solving. But we are on a mission to help the construction industry take a proactive approach to risk mitigation and stop problems BEFORE they start. This includes collaborating with manufacturers, architects, engineers, and designers on key façade decisions. It also means working directly with general contractors to design and implement quality control processes that prevent issues during installation.
