Facade Structural Engineering
At PRA, we deliver safe, efficient, and buildable façade solutions that maximise long-term performance, value and project certainty.
With over 28 years of specialist façade engineering experience, our team combines structural expertise with an in-depth understanding of façade materials, behaviour, and performance to solve the most complex building envelope challenges. Using advanced structural analysis and finite element modelling (linear and non-linear), we optimise designs for safety, compliance, constructability, and sustainability, helping projects achieve the highest standards while reducing risk and improving efficiency.
Our engineering services also incorporate elements associated with the façade. These include infill SFS walls, balcony structures, balustrades, privacy screens, canopies, brise soleil and staircases. We provide solutions using our in-house software and design tools such as finite element analysis (linear & non-linear), as well as hand calculations, solving even the most complex issues.
Our team is led by a Chartered Structural Engineer (MIStructE), we provide end-to-end structural engineering that supports successful project outcomes from concept through to installation.
Façade Major Structures
From bespoke structural elements to architecturally ambitious façade systems, Façade Major Structures provides end-to-end engineering solutions that transform complex design concepts into safe, buildable, and high-performing structures. Supporting architects, façade contractors, and developers, we reduce project risk, improve constructability, and optimise long-term performance through intelligent engineering.
Often using advanced architectural materials, our specialist Façade Major Structures division designs and delivers bespoke, high-value building envelope solutions for high-rise, commercial, and institutional developments.
Our Specialist Services Include:
- Wind Load Analysis
- Cold-Formed Steel Framing
- Structural Glazing Systems
- Expanded Mesh Façade Systems
- Curtain Walling Systems
- Steel & Stainless-Steel Brackets
- Rainscreen Cladding Systems & Components
- Natural Stone Façade Systems
- Terracotta Cladding Systems
- Aluminium Support Structures
- Structural Assessments & Remedial Design
Working collaboratively with architects, contractors, and project teams from the earliest design stages, we deliver coordinated structural solutions that reduce risk, streamline construction and help projects succeed.
