Newtecnic Facade Engineering
Newtecnic facade engineers and designers provide facade design solutions to architects, contractors and developers
Preliminary system layout
Spatial design: general arrangement, map out which sets are used
3D model of exterior geometry
Parametric model of spatial arrangement
Establish design requirements, including lifespan and choice of materials
Structural and environmental concepts
Descriptions of the systems, in specification format
Coordination, presentations and approvals
Drawings for production of performance mock-up
System design:
Detailed analysis of the preliminary facade design.
Detailed analysis of the preliminary structural design.
Detailed analysis of the preliminary environmental design.
Updated drawings for production of performance mock-up.
Geometry:
General arrangement plans and sections.
General arrangement drawings and 1:50 sections are developed as 2D overlays to the outputs from the 3D model.
12. Coordination:
Issues identified in the coordination register are resolved through workshops which take place throughout this work stage. This is the primary function of meetings with other consultants at this stage. Values for cladding pressures consultants at this stage.
13. Specification:
Development of the system descriptions from the RIBA stages 2-3.
The outputs from the CFD (virtual wind test) are added to the specification.
Design standards are added to the specification.
The materials and components used in the system designs are added to the specification with associated standards.
Requirements for an understanding of the geometry are added to the specification.
The structural design report is added to the specification.
* The environmental design report is added to the specification (*optional).
The cleaning and maintenance report is added to the specification.
The coordination register is added to the specification.
Mock-up constructed and physically tested, to form a comparison with design analysis undertaken at RIBA stages 2-3
