Comprehensive Integrated Design for Facade Access Systems

Our integrated approach covers every facade access system from design development through installation, maximizing safety, compliance, and operational performance. With three flexible levels of design services, we support projects of all scales. These range from concept development to fully engineered building maintenance units (BMU) and fall protection system solutions.

Level 1 Design Services – Direction and Strategic Consultation

Level 1 provides early-stage technical guidance for architects, engineers, and property managers. Our Sales Managers review existing concepts and deliver marked-up drawings with professional insights and design recommendations. This service helps integrate international facade access safety standards and local building codes from the very start. Early collaboration with our dedicated team reduces risks and optimizes long term performance of the system design.

Level 2 Design Services – Project Management with Engineering Support

At this level, clients benefit from dedicated Project Management oversight and expert Design Engineer support. Deliverables include CAD-format drawings, controlled design iterations, and key specifications to guide the construction process. Contractors and building owners gain added value through facade system maintenance scheduling, inspection planning, load testing support, and compliance reviews. This level of service keeps every project aligned with performance and certification requirements.

Level 3 Design Services – Comprehensive Custom Solutions

For complex and large-scale developments, Level 3 delivers a fully customized pathway to compliance and performance excellence. Our design team prepares detailed BMU and facade access specifications, coordinates technical meetings, and provides stamped drawings that meet global and local standards. Whether for new construction or retrofit projects, our building maintenance units and fall protection design services provide secure, efficient, and sustainable access for maintenance workers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do the Integrated Design Services (IDS) at Facade Access Solutions offer?

Our Integrated Design Services provide a complete approach to facade access system design, including building maintenance units, davits, and monorail solutions that integrate seamlessly into the architectural and construction process.

When does the integrated design for facade access process begin?

Our integration begins at the conceptual design development stage. This means facade access systems align with safety, sustainability, and performance requirements from the start of the project.

How does Facade Access Solutions set the standard for facade engineering?

By engaging with project stakeholders early, we provide strategic design recommendations that support compliance, cost-effective planning, and long-term operational efficiency. Our engineers and architects collaborate closely with clients to address technical challenges before they become costly problems.

What advantages does early engagement provide to clients?

Early collaboration helps define project goals, compliance standards, and technical challenges.This allows our team to develop precise facade access strategies for each building’s unique requirements. Building owners and contractors benefit from reduced risk and greater efficiency across the construction process.

Why is a comprehensive needs assessment important for facade access projects?

A complete assessment allows us to fully understand project requirements. It confirms that our facade access systems align with best practices, regulatory standards, and sustainability goals for long-term facade performance and success.

What types of buildings benefit from integrated design services?

Integrated design services benefit a wide range of building types, including high-rise commercial towers, residential developments, healthcare facilities, and mixed-use projects. Our team also provides solutions for complex facades on government buildings, transportation hubs, and industrial infrastructure. Each project receives a design approach matched to the building’s architecture and maintenance needs.

What international standards apply to facade access system design?

Facade access systems must comply with a range of international and local standards. Common frameworks include EN 1808 (safety requirements for suspended access equipment), OSHA regulations in the United States, and AS 1418.13 in Australia. Our team designs every system to meet the relevant codes for the project location. For a detailed overview, visit our codes, regulations, and standards page.
