Including exterior fa\u00e7ade access design into a building project’s early, design-stage discussions does more than help architects achieve a fully realized aesthetic goal. It also empowers a project’s stakeholders to ensure regulatory compliance and, ultimately, maximize workplace safety for curtain wall, glazing, and fa\u00e7ade repair contractors later.<\/span><\/p>\n

These regulations aren’t optional; organizations and properties found in violation can face steep fines, among other penalties. That’s another reason why integrated design for fa\u00e7ade access is so important: staying compliant with guidance from OSHA, CCOHS or other necessary entities can help reduce costs long-term.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, grasping the full scope of necessary regulations can be challenging, as can identifying the most effective designs for fa\u00e7ade access solutions that fulfill your team’s needs for aesthetics, maintenance, and safety.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fa\u00e7ade Access Solutions NAM provides its Integrated Design Services (IDS) for this reason. When you add our experts to your project’s design-stage conversations, we can facilitate custom fa\u00e7ade access designs that keep unrelenting focus on all three of these priorities so you can achieve everything that modern building construction aspires to: beautiful form, impeccable function, and uncompromising safety compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knowing Regulatory Needs<\/b><\/h2>\n

Organizations like OSHA don’t always have a single, definitive regulation dedicated solely to exterior fa\u00e7ade access or exterior building maintenance. However, separate regulations and standards<\/span> frequently overlap to create a network of precautionary measures made to help workers like curtain wall, glass and glazing, and fa\u00e7ade repair contractors stay safe as they complete their tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n

That network can be confusing when your project team is also focused on things like aesthetics, project timelines, and overall budgets. When you choose to work with Fa\u00e7ade Access Solutions NAM\u2019s IDS experts, you benefit from our dedicated assistance. Our specialists excel in developing integrated fa\u00e7ade access designs that prioritize safety, helping to ensure your building remains compliant with regulations, including (but not limited to):<\/span><\/p>\n
