Our complementary design support service is part of our commercial support, whether you are working on two homes or 2,000. It gives you access to technical expertise and practical support to ensure you have met the exacting standards on every aspect of your window and door schedule.
Site visit and survey
Our service starts with a visit to your site by our in-house specification team. We meet with you and discuss the requirements for your project.
Our team will survey your site and the existing windows and doors (if relevant) to allow us to calculate your new specification.
Specification development
The next step is to develop a site-specific window schedule. We will take into account every detail. Different elevations may require different specifications – for example to reduce road noise or to protect against the prevailing elements. We also cater for specific health and safety requirements, from emergency egress (fire escape) windows to ergonomic handles that support those with limited dexterity.
Technical calculations and tender documentation
Our specification team formalises the window specification, conducting calculations to ensure the solution meets wind load, loading bearing and structural requirements and provides the detail needed for tender documentation. We also develop detailed drawings to accompany tender documentation. It’s a level of detail that helps ensure the tender process runs smoothly and quickly,
so you can bring a project to the site faster.
Resident liaison
We understand how important it is to bring residents on the journey with you. We provide you with the support you need. If you are holding tenant open days, we can send a member of our in-house team to talk people through the window specifications. We can also provide window samples to enhance displays explaining works to be carried out.
