Facade access design often deals with how access systems will impact a commercial building\u2019s exterior aesthetics, but during the early stages of a construction project<\/a>, owners, developers, architects, and other stakeholders also need to consider functional requirements. These can include the space needed for access equipment to launch and, more importantly, how operable an artistic design is for the access systems that may attach or be built into it. Failing to consider facade access functionality at the beginning stage can lead to costly solutions later, which is why it\u2019s a vital topic to discuss early on. These conversations can also be much more successful when you invite Integrated Design Services (IDS) consultants from Facade Access NAM to the table.<\/p>\n

IDS consultants are experts who can balance architects\u2019 and clients\u2019 aesthetic concerns, as well as the safety managers\u2019 cautionary and regulatory compliance needs<\/a>, all while staying cognizant of the nuances various types of contractors (e.g. facade repair, curtain wall, and commercial glass contractors) will face when completing their work. To help you share with your teams why contacting IDS consultants is essential to design-stage discussions, we\u2019ll walk you through how our experts can facilitate custom commercial facade access solutions<\/a> that are both effective and appealing.<\/p>\n

Effectiveness Starts with the End User<\/h2>\n

Historically, facade access systems became more necessary when buildings began incorporating glass more and more as a large-scale material. That\u2019s why building design now needs to accommodate the functional and safety needs of curtain wall contractors, commercial glass and glazing contractors, and facade repair contractors.<\/p>\n

When you work with a facade access design team like Facade Access IDS experts in those early days, we can arrive at conversations already understanding contractors\u2019 functional needs, which can include (but are not limited to):<\/p>\n
