Whether to provide design assistance or provide a complete facade system, Kawneer Collaborative helps bring your vision to reality through our unique, 12-step process:
1. Initial Consultation: We take a proactive approach to the process, working with your team from the outset to make sure we understand your concept and vision.
2. Conceptual Details: To confirm our understanding of your design intent, we deliver a 2D or 3D design package.
3. Preliminary Engineering: Each design is closely reviewed to guarantee a viable solution is proposed.
4. Samples: To maintain your vision, critical components are drafted for review. Options include aluminum samples, 3D-printed samples and virtual or augmented reality.
5. Budget: We understand your budget constraints and provide multiple budget reviews throughout the design process. We work through challenges and collaborate to reach consensus and find solutions.
6. Contract Arrangement: Whether to design assist or provide a complete facade system, we bring your vision to reality.
7. Immersive Engagement: We establish a cloud-based interactive environment for your contracted deliverables.
8. Focused Team: A dedicated team of experts is assembled specifically for your project. The team is led by a project-dedicated manager and includes an estimator, facade designer, project engineer, modeling lead and field technician.
9. Modeled Solutions: 3D modeling allows for effective communication among all project stakeholders. We cut our models to produce project specific shop drawings.
10. Virtual Production: Our production team repurposes the approved project model and necessary manufacturing files to create the virtual components.
11. Physical Production: Kawneer performs all necessary steps to manufacture your facade. We manage the stages of production – design, extrusion, finishing, fabrication, assembly and glazing – to maintain control and delivery of your vision.
12. Field Support: Throughout the project, our dedicated field technician will be on site to participate in installation, testing and other requirements as requested by the project.
