Façade access consultancy
BB7 has extensive knowledge and experience in designing holistic façade access systems across a wide range of sectors.
We work throughout the following seven stages.
Understand
We engage early with project teams to review façade access needs, risks, cleaning cycles, and visual constraints. This ensures practical, compliant strategies are developed from the outset, aligned with the building’s vision and long-term maintenance.
Design
Our team designs safe, robust access systems for every façade. Using 2D and isometric layouts, we collaborate with architects, engineers, and manufacturers to create solutions that are practical, coordinated, and fully compliant with regulations.
Specify
We prepare performance-based specifications, referencing all relevant safety standards and legislation. This ensures the tendered solutions meet client needs, and that installed equipment is safe, compliant, and fit for purpose throughout the building’s life.
Deliver
During procurement, we support tenders by recommending trusted subcontractors, reviewing designs, and auditing calculations. Our involvement ensures proposed solutions meet safety, performance, and operational requirements, giving clients confidence in their façade access systems.
Test
We conduct site visits at key milestones to monitor installation, check compliance with approved designs, and verify craftsmanship. In doing so we ensure systems are installed correctly and function as intended to meet the access demands of the façade.
Use
Once the building is operational, we can advise on cleaning cycles, operation protocols, and ongoing inspections, supporting a maintenance regime that safeguards the façade asset while minimising disruption to occupants and the public.
Change
Buildings evolve through refurbishments and extensions, often altering façade access needs. We audit existing systems, recommend upgrades, and ensure compliance, helping clients future-proof their investment while maintaining safety and performance.
