Facade Engineering and Shop Drawings

Structural, thermal and detail design services

Facade Engineering and Shop Drawings

Wind load, glass design, anchor calculations and shop drawings for architects and contractors.

Consultancy from 85,000 TRY

Our facade engineering team advises not only on our own projects but also architecture practices and main contractors. Engineering done early makes it far easier to compare very different bids during tendering.

Services

  • Building- and site-specific wind load calculations to TS EN 1991-1-4
  • Glass thickness, deflection and thermal stress risk analysis
  • Anchor and bracket design, concrete pull-out calculations
  • Movement joint design for seismic inter-storey drift
  • 2D thermal simulation and condensation checks to EN ISO 10077-2
  • Technical specifications and tender quantities
  • Shop drawings, 1:1 details and fabrication schedules

Software and deliverables

We use finite element software for structural calculations, 2D simulation tools for thermal analysis and BIM-compatible models for drawings. All calculations are reported in a format ready for consultant approval.

Consultancy is provided for a fixed fee based on project size; if Rasyo is then appointed as contractor, the engineering fee is deducted from the contract value.

Scope of service

  • Wind load calculation
  • Thermal simulation
  • Seismic joints
  • Tender specification

Frequently asked questions

How do you choose between a stick and a unitised facade?
Building height, programme and site conditions decide. For buildings under 10 storeys with a flexible programme, a stick facade is economical. For 15 storeys or more, fast-track projects or city sites where scaffolding is impractical, a unitised facade offers an overall cost advantage.
Does thermally broken aluminium insulate as well as PVC?
The W80 HI series, with a wide polyamide break and foam fill, reaches Uf 1.4 W/m²K, close to a good PVC series. Aluminium's advantage is that it delivers this with much slimmer profiles and far larger sash sizes.
What do you need to prepare a quote?
Architectural floor plans, elevations and system sections (DWG or PDF), plus any specification and bill of quantities, are enough. You can upload your files through the project quote form, and we send a system proposal and budget range within five working days.
Why does pricing vary from project to project?
Glass type and size, profile sections driven by wind load, colour and finish, anchor conditions, building height and access method all affect cost directly. As aluminium and glass prices follow exchange rates, quotes are valid for 30 days.
Is a mock-up test needed on every project?
No. Test reports exist for our standard systems. But on tall buildings, bespoke details or where the specification requires it, we recommend a full-scale mock-up test. Its cost and duration are shown separately in the quote.
