design process 1. Client brief
The first step in the design process is to understand the client needs. A site analysis is essential to mark-up the potential risks and critic items, in order to optimise the position and orientation of the building in terms of energy performance. The preliminary analysis aims at achieving sustainable and energy efficient design solutions.
2. Coordination Our priority is to design in coordination with the Design Team (all Engine-
ering services, Client and Architect) with regards to: coordination faรงade-structure, to set-up tolerances, loads, deflections and deformations; coordination with MEP to define thermal, psychrometric, solar targets; coordination with Architect to achieve the desired aesthetical appearance; coordination with Acoustic Consultant, Facade Access Consultant; coordination with Project Manager in order to provide solutions in compliance with the budget (value-engineering).
3. Design and specification
The design process involves all the project stages, from preliminary to construction. We provide customised solutions of typical and non-typical details. The technical drawings are the results of structural and thermal analysis which demonstrate the details constructability, while materials, calculations, installation, quality, testing, warranties, durability are described in our Technical Specification. FACES knowledge includes the latest modelling software (BIM and computational design) for CFD analysis, daylighting studies, sun-reflection, shadow studies and curved surfaces analysis.
4. Samples and FACES support includes the coordination with various suppliers, to provide visual and performance mock-up, together with testing witnessing and testing assistance.
5. Tender stage The final stage of the design process include the preparation of a design package for tender.
6. Construction FACES provides the technical review of asbuilt drawings, structural and
thermal reports issued by contractors. Additionally we provide on-site visits, offsite and on-site testing witnessing, QS coordination, mock-up and benchmark coordination in order to ensure the best quality and conformity with the intended design.
