design build facades, overcladding specialist

design build facades is a leading design build overcladding specialist focused exclusively on external refurbishment of occupied, ageing buildings across market sectors including residential, education, healthcare and commercial.

We are a true design build overcladding specialist with a proven A1 non-combustible aluminium rainscreen system underwritten by an industry-leading 25 year warranty. Decarbonisation remains a key priority for all. Whilst a portfolio of measures is required, the greatest direct carbon savings will be made by improving the thermal efficiency of the building envelope, often referred to as a fabric first approach. This delivers proven, quantifiable energy and carbon savings of up to 70%, along with a wide range of other benefits including eliminating external maintenance, extending the useful life of the building by more than 60 years and transforming the appearance of the estate to reflect the quality of services provided within.

design build facades provides a turn-key package of integrated professional services taking single point responsibility for all aspects from design through to completed building. Overcladding is a specialist, complex activity and adopting a 2 stage non-prescriptive pure Design Build contract with design build facades as Principal Designer and Principal Contractor, ensures the whole project is de-risked. A seamless Golden Thread, ensuring every step is compliant with the Building Safety Act. As part of this compliance clients must take reference from past performance to establish competency.
