OUR SERVICE TO YOU

Clear, standards-compliant design support to de-risk your projects

How it works

1. Drawings & brief

Send us your information and what you want to achieve. We can work from simple, dimensioned sketches or marked-up PDFs; DWG files are preferred for accurate scaling and speed.

  • Project address and reference
  • Elevation drawings with glass dimensions and position of glass fixings
  • Fixing intent (channels, point-fixings, posts, handrails, patch fittings)
  • Glass preference, deflection limits or aesthetics
  • Photos/site constraints and required project dates

2. Initial advice & quote

We review the proposed design and provide an indication of likely glass options with a cost estimate for the full analysis and formal report. In most cases we aim to issue completed reports within 3 days of your approval. Please advise if your timescales are urgent.

3. Calculations & professional report

We undertake Finite Element Analysis with SJ Mepla and issue a professional, clear PDF report suitable for Building Control and client handover. Reports include your drawings and glass schedules plus the resulting analysis stress plots to support a speedy review by the Main Contractor and Building Control.
