At Vivid Facades Ltd. we play a proactive role in the design process from the earliest stages through to project completion. Our involvement ensures a coordinated, accurate and efficient delivery tailored to specialist façade and cladding packages.
We engage at tender stage to support project planning with a complete pricing deliverables package. This includes early modelling input and scope definition to assist with accurate budget forecasting and feasibility.
We provide pre-construction design support including client and design team meeting attendance, ensuring key project goals and façade expectations are aligned from the outset.
Our team leads design development in close coordination with other trades ensuring compatibility with architectural intent, structural systems and MEP layouts. We prioritise buildability and integration at every step.
Using advanced 3D modelling tools (Revit) we perform clash detection within our own façade designs identifying and resolving conflicts early. Particularly where specialist materials and systems are involved.
We manage the transition of drawings and models from preliminary stage through to construction issue delivering clear, detailed and coordinated documentation for
on-site execution.
Our façade designs support compliance with GateWay2 requirements and Building Safety Regulator (BSR) obligations contributing to the Golden Thread of information and the safety case.
We provide detailed fabrication drawings and scheduling packages to support efficient procurement, manufacturing and installation workflows thus reducing risk and lead times.
Upon completion we deliver comprehensive as-built drawings to reflect the final installed condition, supporting handover, certification and future maintenance.
We maintain strong relationships and a deep understanding of the façade supply chain from manufacturers to fabricators. This insight ensures our designs are not only technically sound but also realistic, buildable and aligned with material lead times, procurement strategies and installation methods.
We take pride in building strong, collaborative relationships with our clients. Our go-to attitude means we're always on hand to support their specific requirements. Whether that’s helping resolve a technical detail, adjusting to programme changes or providing flexible design solutions. We aim to be a reliable and responsive partner throughout every stage of the project.
We operate using industry-standard BIM and CAD platforms such as Revit, AutoCAD and IFC formats. Our digital workflows ensure seamless integration with wider project models allowing for structured data exchange and efficient coordination with project stakeholders.
All design outputs are subject to internal design reviews and QA checks prior to issue. We follow a structured design sign-off process ensuring our drawings, models and schedules meet project specifications, regulatory compliance and client expectations.
We consider health and safety during the design phase identifying and mitigating construction or maintenance risks early in line with CDM regulations.
We can support bespoke façade systems including tailored cassette sizes, fixing strategies and custom bracketry where standard systems may not apply.
