Design Consultancy
Our design consultancy provides creative, engineered solutions for complex architectural challenges. Using advanced 3D visualization tools, we develop photo-realistic models to translate concepts into feasible designs. With expertise in materials like steel, aluminum, and polycarbonates, we ensure structural integrity while meeting aesthetic goals. Our team collaborates directly with architects to refine ideas through detailed engineering drawings and cost-effective proposals.
3D Visuals
We create photorealistic 3D models to showcase design proposals for bespoke structures. This service enables clients to visualize final outcomes before manufacturing begins. Our team uses precision software to simulate materials, lighting, and environmental factors, ensuring alignment with architectural visions while identifying potential design improvements early in the process.
Project Management
Our dedicated Contracts Managers oversee projects from initial survey to final sign-off. This includes coordinating engineering proposals, production schedules, and nationwide installations. With certifications like SMSTS/SSSTS and CSCS, our team ensures compliance with safety standards while maintaining strict timelines and budgets for complex construction contracts.
Tensile Structures
We design and install tensile fabric structures for weather protection and architectural appeal. These lightweight, durable solutions are ideal for transport hubs, healthcare facilities, and educational institutions. Our expertise includes UV-reducing fabrics, modular large-scale installations, and iconic designs like the Keep it Kool divisions projects at Cramlington Hospital and Alton Towers Theme Park.
Architectural Cladding
Our architectural cladding solutions combine aesthetic design with functional durability. Using materials like stainless steel, aluminum, and glass, we create bespoke faades and soffit systems. Projects include high-profile installations at Glasgow Airport, Edinburgh Tramway, and Network Rail stations, demonstrating our ability to meet exacting engineering and visual standards.
