For Architects
We partner with architects from concept to completion. When you specify complex standing seam or cladding details, we're the team that ensures they're executed exactly as you envisioned.
Invite us in at Stage 2–3. We'll review your envelope design for buildability, flag potential issues, and suggest details that protect your intent while ensuring they're achievable on site.
Stage 2–3 · Design Review
Not sure whether to specify zinc, copper, or aluminium? We provide impartial material advice based on your design vision, the building's exposure, and the project budget.
5 Metals · Impartial Advice
We develop fabrication drawings from your architectural details, working through every junction, transition, and edge condition until the detail is right.
Junctions · Transitions · Edges
On site, our specialist crews install with the care and accuracy your design demands. We don't approximate. We don't improvise. We execute to specification.
Specialist Crews · Zero Compromise
We offer CPD-style presentations on standing seam systems, material selection, and architectural detailing. Available in-person or online.
