In short, we are an integral part of the curtain wall consulting industry every step of the way and are solidly placed to help in the next generation of this façade typology on the simplest to the most challenging projects to help the team ensure a successful outcome.New cap sheets offer the ease of installation of standard granulated cap sheets, along with the energy-efficiency benefits of a highly reflective, emissive surface. Our experienced bench of shop and site (special in NYC) inspectors ensure the project’s curtain wall quickly progresses vertically, maintains the highest level of quality and that the entire team benefits from our proactive solutions and stay informed via daily communication, both verbal and via exceptionally comprehensive reports. We have a balanced commercial and technical approach and understand how international supply chain issues, different standards and expectations for quality can impact a curtain wall façade. We are most in our element at the laboratory investigating and solving unforeseen issues during mock-up testing. We are all over the world in glass and curtain wall shops witnessing first article and routine unit assembly, the mock-up installation in a test chamber and each rigorous mock-up test. It is a digital feedback loop that connects each project, each staff member and the years of experience together to provide unrivaled service. We have developed an efficient internal QA/QC process that ensures a consistent approach to communication, issue recognition, and faster resolution. The majority of our curtain wall consultants started in the field and in shops inspecting and understanding how curtain walls are put together. Our review of details on shop drawings are rooted in a practical approach and backed by experience. Where the curtain wall is custom, we roll up our sleeves during the Design Assist process, post-award, to achieve the most efficient design while staying within budget and getting to a successful Visual and Performance Mock-up faster. We have very deep relationships with curtain wall fabricators on four continents and guide our client to them through the procurement process.

We work closely with Design Architects to help forge and realize their vision for the façade with optimization studies, detail development, practical commercial guidance and proven solutions from past projects. Our team helps create the basis of design sets of details for pricing using cutting-edge software and refines an appropriate performance specification to meet each project and each client’s needs. Our project portfolio includes the curtain wall facades of some of the tallest buildings in the world, the first LEED Platinum office tower in the US, several institutional double wall curtain walls, many commercial reclad office towers, and the largest installation of dynamic-glazed integrated curtain wall and triple IGU-glazed curtain wall in the United States. Our long track record spans back to the 1980’s with projects like Canary Wharf and Petronas Towers today, we continue to work on the highest performing towers, like 1 Vanderbilt, the Hub on Causeway, and Paramount Miami Worldcenter. SOCOTEC’s expertise in curtain wall consulting is unmatched with a host of repeat clients and a portfolio of monumental projects located around the globe. Our experienced staff ensures that each component is properly designed, assembled and installed into a robust building envelope system.

The building envelope must function as a barrier, mitigating potential damages and producing healthy, comfortable and sustainable indoor environments.

Our consulting services ensure enclosure systems intelligently respond to factors of light, radiation, load, pressure, wind, acoustics, motion, temperature differentials (expansion and contraction), and moisture. These systems present a great opportunity for architectural expression, sustainability and energy reduction in the built environment. SOCOTEC maintains the highest quality standards of design and installation of the walls, foundation, roof, doors and glazing to ensure that they produce a durable enclosure system. SOCOTEC can be integrated into the designer’s process to fully understand the design vision and goals for the project from early design through construction administration. Facade systems are an opportunity for architectural expression, sustainability and reduction of energy usage in the built environment.
