Business Details
Expert Construction Contracting Services in Cannock
Faade Engineering & Analysis Services was established with nearly three decades of industry expertise, offering comprehensive support to the building envelope and faade sector. Our team collaborates with architects, main contractors, and specialist subcontractors to deliver tailored solutions for complex faade projects. Specialising in thermal analysis of curtain walls, windows, and rainscreen systems, we ensure compliance with Building Regulations and international standards such as EN and ES. Our services span project inception to handover, including specification reviews, product selection, on-site installation audits, and testing. With a background in working with leading UK faade contractors, we provide practical, cost-effective strategies to meet aesthetic and performance requirements.Our director, Calvin Norton, leads a team committed to resolving design challenges and enhancing project outcomes through early-stage involvement. We support clients across all construction phases, offering expert witnessing, method statement preparation, and liaison with test houses. Our long-standing relationships with major system providers like Schco and Reynaers enable us to deliver actionable insights to design and installation teams. By prioritising precision and client expectations, we aim to mitigate long-term risks associated with building envelope failures. Our services are designed to bridge the gap between architectural vision and regulatory compliance, ensuring sustainable and efficient solutions for modern construction projects.

Services
Thermal Analysis
Our thermal analysis evaluates building envelope elements to ensure energy efficiency and compliance with UK Building Regulations. We assess curtain walls, windows, and rainscreen systems to balance aesthetic design with thermal performance. By identifying potential heat loss or condensation risks, we help clients achieve cost-effective, sustainable solutions tailored to project-specific climatic and structural conditions.
Faade Condensation Risk Analysis
We conduct detailed condensation risk assessments for faades to prevent structural damage and maintain indoor comfort. Using advanced 2D and 3D finite element analysis, we model moisture behaviour in rainscreen walls and curtain glazing systems. Our reports guide design adjustments to mitigate condensation risks, ensuring compliance with NHBC and industry standards while safeguarding long-term building integrity.
On-Site Inspections
Our on-site inspections verify the quality of complex faade installations, acting as an independent quality assurance partner for clients and contractors. We assess workmanship against technical specifications, identify deviations, and provide actionable recommendations. These audits reduce the likelihood of post-completion defects, ensuring adherence to design intent and regulatory requirements throughout the construction process.
Specification Review
We review and refine faade specifications to align with project goals, budget constraints, and regulatory frameworks. Our team advises on material selection, system compatibility, and performance criteria for curtain walls and cladding. By engaging early in the design phase, we help architects and contractors avoid costly revisions and ensure seamless integration of faade elements with broader building systems.
Testing Services
We coordinate and witness faade testing activities, including water ingress and structural performance assessments. Our services cover method statement preparation, liaison with accredited test houses, and on-site water testing. By validating compliance with EN standards and client specifications, we ensure that installed systems meet design expectations and regulatory benchmarks before project handover.
