A building’s façade is its signature skin, defining its value, performance and architectural image and intent. Façade engineering has been increasingly evolving into a separate, integrated design discipline that ties several services into a single design solution with decisive impact on project’s risk and commercial success.

As the cost of facades and decorative cladding can equal the cost building’s structure, high-performance and cost-effective designs are becoming crucial in managing the project risks. UPG is providing support to our clients by using knowledge and expertise to combine all the variables in design to an ultimate, integrated solution.

Our integrated façade design approach incorporates structural design, building physics and advanced BIM modelling to provide comprehensive tools and techniques we use for facade design and detailing of most complex architectural designs.

We have specialized in new materials like Glass-fibre Reinforced Plastics, Concrete and Gypsum (GRP, GRC, GRG) as well as Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) façade and cladding structures, as a branch of materials that provide unparalleled potential for architecturally attractive designs.
