Made in-house

Fabrication

In-house aluminium glazing, sheet metal and bespoke metalwork that strengthens control at the most demanding envelope interfaces.

The division

Designed here.
Made here.

Project-specific components are produced for the actual site condition rather than adapted during installation. Direct links between design, workshop and site teams improve accuracy, shorten decisions and reduce dependency on third parties.

How it works

Precision made tangible.

01

Aluminium glazing

Windows, doors, curtain walling and fire-rated screens are designed and manufactured as part of the wider envelope.

02

Sheet metal

Flashings, cassettes, soffits and exact project profiles are formed under documented quality controls.

03

Bespoke metalwork

Project-specific stairs, handrails, walkways, access systems and architectural details resolve non-standard conditions.
