01
Certainty of delivery
Timely delivery through early engagement, focused collaboration, and strong stakeholder relationships.
Façade & curtain wall consultancy
Engineering the building envelope.
We design, test, and deliver façades that are constructable, thermally rigorous, and worthy of the architecture they complete.
The envelope, close up
Unitised curtain wall, engineered for the city.
Prefabricated modules, thermal breaks, and a joint language that can be built at height.

Thought Leadership
Expert Insights
Notes on safety, performance, unitised systems, and the existing stock that still has decades of work to do.
Engineering façades for safety, performance and longevity
The envelope is a structural, thermal, and public-facing system. Treating it as decoration is how buildings age badly.
Why unitised systems still win on complex towers
Prefabrication, quality, and programme — and the geometry that only works if the factory and the site share a language.
The slab edge is the project
Vision glass gets the rendering. Transoms, anchors, and slab edges decide whether the wall meets its U-value and stays dry inside.
