Façade engineering

BB7 offers in-depth expertise in assessing and specifying integrated façade engineering systems, delivering tailored solutions across a wide range of sectors in the Republic of Ireland.

Connecting specialist expertise for seamless project delivery. Saving time, minimising risk, and ensuring results.

Our façade engineering consultants collaborate with developers, architects, and contractors to create safe, efficient, and high-performing façade solutions.

The scope of our façade consultancy adapts to each project’s needs and stage of involvement:

Early Project Stages (RIBA 1-4): Our specialists provide strategic guidance to project teams, helping mitigate risks and optimise façade design choices. This process leads to a tailored Façade Technical Performance Specification, supporting the transition from concept to a construction-ready design.

Construction & Delivery (RIBA 5+): Whether engaged by the client team or the main contractor, our consultants conduct compliance assessments and quality control reviews. We oversee calculations, drawings, and on-site installations to verify alignment with the design intent and industry best practices.

We work throughout the following seven stages.

Understand

We clarify project aims be they, statutory compliance and life safety through property and asset protection to environmental or reputational damage limitation. Our input to the project brief will help establish the ground rules.

Design

We interpret codes and standards and apply fire engineering from concept strategy, plans review and planning application to detailed design.

Specify

We assist the wider design team in setting the minimum standard and appropriate specification for active and passive fire safety systems. Asking the right questions of suppliers during bid phase and helping with selection. In this way a single focal point is created for all fire related information.

Deliver

Test

We are on hand to witness testing on all active and passive fire systems before the building is handed over. We work with our clients to advise on the implementation of the fire safety design.

Use

We carry out fire risk assessments and apply our fire risk management knowledge to ensure efficient and effective governance of fire risk. Our expertise helps the people occupying the building meet all the appropriate statutory requirements.

Change

Buildings change over time and this could influence a fire risk. Our safety knowledge is invaluable if you’re considering refurbishment of any kind.
