We’re not a specifier-fabricator handover business. Our in-house design team works directly with practising architects from RIBA Stage 3 onwards. Drawings, schedules, U-value evidence, frame-depth detail, conservation precedent — handled from the workshop that will also fabricate the frame. Single point of accountability from specification through delivery.
No outsourcing of design. No outsourcing of fabrication. The drawing your design team marks up is the drawing our cutting team works from.
We don’t have a default range — we specify the best fit for the project. Cortizo, Smart Systems, and Aluprof are all fabricated in-house at our Slough workshop. System choice depends on the budget envelope, sightline requirement, thermal target, and the specifics of the elevation.
We’re trained and tooled on all three system houses. We routinely cross-specify between them — recommending the optimal system within the budget rather than pushing the most expensive.
Specification stage — Drawings, schedules, and queries from architects are reviewed by our in-house design team. U-value evidence, frame depth, thermal break details, and conservation-area precedent are provided as standard.
Fabrication stage — Every frame cut, drained, crimped, and assembled in our Slough workshop on Fom Industrie equipment. Polyester powder-coating in-house to RAL or BS standard. QA at each station, not just final inspection.
Install stage — Direct fitting teams (no third-party installers). One project manager from order to handover. Snagging within agreed terms.
