In the history of commercial real estate, fa\u00e7ade access solutions grew in importance as structures grew in size. After all, maintenance on a glass exterior may be simple when the structure is only one or two stories, but as buildings grow in height, so must the access required to care for the property successfully and safely.<\/span><\/p>\n

This same adaptable mindset applies to a building’s design, not merely its size. As your architects and contractors begin taking advantage of new tools and materials to realize ambitious structures, building fa\u00e7ade designs must also change to ensure proper care for the finished product.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making those alterations to fa\u00e7ade access systems should also include developing solutions as early as possible in the building project\u2014not to mention taking advantage of new resources that can help. When you partner with Integrated Design Services (IDS) experts from Fa\u00e7ade Access NAM at the design stage, we can develop custom, forward-thinking fa\u00e7ade equipment that empowers you to pursue both bold aesthetic visions and safe, efficient access for your contractors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Future-Proof Access Systems<\/b><\/h2>\n

Trendsetting building design calls for next-gen fa\u00e7ade equipment. The reason is simple: while rigid, prefabricated solutions once worked for all buildings, that was because structures didn’t necessarily include interplays of planes and angles or find influence from organic shapes, as with modern architectural marvels like The Gherkin in London.<\/span><\/p>\n

These new building fa\u00e7ade designs\u2014combined with the inclusion of lighter or innovative materials including glass, mesh, and more\u2014mean fa\u00e7ade access systems also need to adjust to stay lightweight while maintaining durability and strength for safety purposes. In addition, you must ensure that your fa\u00e7ade access solutions comply not only with OSHA and CCOHS regulations but also meet the ASME A120.1 Standards and other applicable industry guidelines to uphold the highest safety standards for your property.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fa\u00e7ade Access NAM\u2019s IDS experts can help you navigate these necessities with recommendations that are built in partnership with your team at the design stage of the building project. By collaborating at these early stages, your finished structure can facilitate successful, safe, and efficient maintenance (or repair) processes without compromising on a striking and contemporary architectural vision.<\/span><\/p>\n
