With 30+ years of expertise, we are Chartered Building Surveyors and Engineers specialising in façade design. From forensic investigations to new build specs, we help you avoid costly errors and ensure your building's exterior is safe, compliant, and high-performing.
Protecting Your Most Expensive Asset: The Building Envelope
Did you know that a building’s façade can account for 15% to 25% of the total construction cost? As façades become increasingly complex, the risk of expensive mistakes grows. At Facade and Cladding Consultancy Services (CCS), we ensure those risks are managed.
Based in Sussex and serving London and the wider UK, we are a specialist team of Chartered Building Surveyors and Chartered Building Engineers. Since 1996, we have provided impartial, expert advice to architects, developers, landlords, and institutional investors who need more than just a general surveyor—they need a specialist who understands the intricate science of the building envelope.
From Forensic Failures to Flawless New Builds
What sets us apart is our "learning loop." We don't just design façades; we perform forensic investigations on those that have failed. By taking systems apart and identifying why they leaked, cracked, or failed to perform, we gain unique insights that we apply to our new build consultancy.
- Forensic Investigations: We find out why things went wrong, identifying failure limits and material incompatibilities.
- New Build Design: We use our forensic knowledge to help you avoid costly errors in design and construction before they happen.
- Remedial Specification: If faults are found, we design and specify the repairs, offering various options to suit your budget and long-term goals.
Global Expertise in Façade Testing and Compliance
We don't just take a manufacturer's word for it. We have spent decades witnessing façade testing across the UK, Europe, and Canada. Whether it is rainscreen cladding, curtain walling, or glass and glazing, we ensure the materials used on your project meet the highest standards of safety and durability.
"If we think a design will not work, we will say so and explain why. Our goal is to help our clients avoid expensive mistakes through evidence-based advice."
