What We Do

We are specialists in the design and engineering of building envelope focusing on architecture, building physics, structure and geometry to align with local and internal standards and building codes.

Our building envelope design integrate with the structure, building services and others. By understanding the strategic aims of the project in its earliest stages, we can

define how the building envelope can achieve the best outcome.

We provide comprehensive façade services, including design, peer review, and construction monitoring. Our team prepares NZBC Compliance Reports to support consent applications and issues Producer Statements at all key stages: PS1 for design, PS2 for peer review, and PS4 for construction monitoring.
Acting as a trusted partner to architects, developers, and contractors, we focus on integrated, pragmatic solutions that balance architectural intent, constructability, performance, and sustainability. Through careful detailing, rigorous analysis, and close collaboration with project teams, we ensure our façades are buildable, compliant, and enduring.
