At Facade Access Solutions, we deliver complete facade access systems engineered for performance, safety, and reliability across the globe. From commercial skyscrapers to mixed-use and institutional buildings, our Standard, Modular, and Custom building maintenance units provide efficient and secure facade maintenance solutions throughout the entire lifecycle of your building.
Our Standard Series building maintenance units are designed for both new and existing buildings. Each system delivers robust, compliant, and cost-effective facade access performance with long-term durability and minimal downtime. Building owners can trust these proven maintenance units to deliver safe, consistent, and efficient operation year after year.
Engineered for performance. Built for compliance. Standard BMUs run on horizontal or vertical track systems and can be installed on flat-roofed buildings or structures with concrete runways at roof level.
Our Modular building maintenance units are engineered for adaptability. With interchangeable components and scalable configurations, these systems fit seamlessly into a wide range of facade designs and complex architectural layouts. They meet strict safety standards and are engineered to accommodate future upgrades or changes in building maintenance requirements. This makes them a truly future-ready investment.
Every architectural vision is unique. Our Custom building maintenance units are crafted for curved facades, angled rooflines, and distinctive design elements while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency. Backed by decades of global engineering experience, each system is customized to local codes and long-term operational performance.
Your building deserves a specifically designed solution. Let’s design it together.

Our worldwide network means that every system meets rigorous international safety requirements and performance standards. Whether your project is a high-rise office tower, a residential landmark, or an institutional facility, we provide facade access systems that align with local codes, environmental demands, and operational goals. For guidance on applicable codes and regulations, visit our codes, regulations, and standards page.
Your building deserves more than an off-the-shelf solution. With a custom-engineered building maintenance system, maintenance becomes simpler, safer, and more reliable for decades to come.
A Building Maintenance Unit (BMU) provides safe access for facade maintenance, including window cleaning, glass replacement, inspections, and repairs. While often associated with high-rise or complex buildings, maintenance units can suit many types of structures, from flat roofed buildings to towers with complex facades. At Facade Access Solutions, our Standard, Modular, and Custom building maintenance units are built to meet international standards such as EN 1808. This supports long-term reliability and compliance across commercial, residential, and institutional properties.
Our Standard maintenance units deliver cost-effective solutions for straightforward facades. Modular building maintenance units provide flexibility through adjustable components that adapt to evolving requirements. Custom BMUs are fully engineered for intricate geometries, curved surfaces, and unique architectural forms. Each system is designed to meet local regulations and environmental conditions for safe access. The track system configuration and hoist systems are selected based on the building’s shape and available roof level space.
Building maintenance units should be inspected at least once a year or more frequently, depending on usage, climate, and local codes. Regular inspections and service maintain compliance and prevent costly downtime. Our certified technicians perform detailed mechanical, electrical, and safety checks to maintain peak performance. Contact Facade Access Solutions to create a maintenance schedule that fits your building’s specific needs.
Yes. We specialize in retrofitting facade access systems for existing structures worldwide. Our engineers assess structural capacity and develop solutions that improve efficiency while preserving architectural integrity. Retrofitting improves safety, extends equipment lifespan, and brings older properties up to modern standards. This is a growing demand among building owners looking to upgrade aging systems at roof level.
