External wall design
We develop external wall build-ups around the required structural, fire, thermal, acoustic, weathering and durability performance, with each layer and interface clearly defined.
External facade design
External facade design resolved as one complete envelope system.
An external facade is more than its visible finish. ALM develops the external wall design, support zone, cavities, barriers, insulation, membranes, openings and adjoining packages as a coordinated performance system.

Across the package
The external wall is resolved layer by layer, then checked as one system.
Building facade coordination
The facade system design resolves parapets, bases, openings, returns, movement joints, roofs and adjacent curtain-wall or window packages against surveyed geometry and tolerances.
Materials and tested systems
Specified materials and system arrangements are checked against declarations, classifications, test evidence, manufacturer limits and the project's intended use.
From external envelope design to site
Issue drawings, schedules, ITPs, samples, hold points and inspections translate the external facade design into information that procurement and installation teams can use.
How the appointment works
Define the performance and interfaces before the wall is fixed.
Current project basis
Performance requirements, elevations, sections, fire strategy, structural zones, surveys and preferred facade systems.
Reviewable outputs
External wall build-ups, interface details, material specifications, schedules, calculations and validation records.
The right point to appoint
When an external envelope package needs one design route across appearance, performance, evidence and installation.
