Façade Design & Engineering
Façade Structural Engineering Services
Abacus Contractors Design Services (Abacus CDS) specialises in façade structural engineering, ensuring that building exteriors are safe, compliant, and seamlessly integrated with the overall design. As one of the most complex and high-risk aspects of construction, façade systems require expertise in structural integrity, thermal performance, fire safety, and aesthetics.
Working closely with architects, developers, and contractors, our team delivers expert analysis and design solutions for commercial, residential, and industrial projects. Whether for new builds or existing structures, we provide the necessary engineering insights to meet both regulatory and performance standards.
