Value of a Facade Consultant

BALANCE COST WITH PERFORMANCE

Facade cladding can represent 20% of construction costs on new projects. Engaging a specialist consultant during cladding design increases your success in achieving design, budget, and performance targets.

PROACTIVELY AVOID FAILURES

Facade cladding failures are a leading cause of building construction problems and claims after construction is completed. Bringing an expert into your Design Team early in the design process helps avoid cladding design deficiencies. CDC's consultants quickly pinpoint problem areas and resolve technical issues before they become building failures.
