innovative, aesthetic, sustainable, constructible, affordable and proven Facades
Introduction - U-Kon Systems
Problem (Opportunity)
- Built ≠ Design
- Trade-offs; performance and / or cost
- Specification
- Constructability
- Independence of cladding.
- Best value engineering opportunities.
- Initial and Lifecycle costs.
- Sustainability
Solution
- Bespoke Systems.
- Design Precision.
- Preconstruction Value, Thermal and Structural Engineering.
- Complete portfolio of systems from a Global Partner.
- Construction, Approval and Shop drawings and Engineering to ensure project success follow through.
- Build = Design
Build what is designed, Easily.
Ultimate Facades
Ultimate includes thermal issues, and includes structural capacity, durability, management of air and water, and other building specific issues.
You need a trustworthy resource.
Buildings need to perform like they were designed. Too many examples exist of drawings finely detailed, but when built do not match. Cladding installers are supposed to provide thermal analysis on what they will build, but it does not happen.
Otherwise you might as well be 'designing and hoping'.

Learning Objectives
- Why systems thinking when designing high performance facades is essential, and better than just looking at the 'clip'.
- How design-assist and collaboration early helps ensure success.
- Why designing the system for specific building needs is better than 'one size fits all'.
- How value engineering can be accomplished at the design assist stage can capture savings from the beginning.
- How specification practices impact success.
- What to expect in shop drawings.
- Review case studies.

Heavy facades like stone require high levels of skill and know-how to design and implement. We hold webinars on this specific topic.
Mid Rise Facade Are Changing [or They Will]
WEBINAR April 20 Noon EST
Facades for Midrise Residential
I drive around and look at buildings. I look at designs on websites. Facade design has not changed much. But requirements have. This webinar will look at choices for fibre cement ‘systems’, in a way you likely have not considered, and high performance facade subsystems to meet ever increasing code requirements.
This webinar applies to commercial, social, senior and student housing. The cladding solutions apply to on-site, prefab and modular technologies.
