AGL offers MTO services for building facade contractors. This helps our clients order sufficient quantity of materials. 

Materials Take Off can also be used by our clients in forecasting the financial commitment of the construction project as it aligns with the project’s budget and materials schedule. 

We provide comprehensive facade structural calculation services as part of our range of offerings. Our skilled in-house engineers and engineering partners specialize in analyzing and designing the structural components of facades to ensure their stability, strength, and safety. By employing advanced software and industry-standard methodologies, we deliver accurate and reliable calculations that meet regulatory requirements and industry best practices.

Our facade structural calculation services include:

• Load Analysis: We assess the loads acting on the facade, including dead loads, live loads, wind loads, seismic loads, and other relevant factors. Through detailed load analysis, we determine the forces that the facade system needs to withstand, ensuring optimal structural performance.
• Structural Design: Based on the load analysis, our engineers design the structural components of the facade system. We consider material properties, geometrical constraints, and architectural requirements to develop robust and efficient structural designs.
• Finite Element Analysis (FEA): We utilize advanced finite element analysis techniques to simulate and evaluate the structural behavior of complex facade systems. FEA enables us to accurately predict stress distribution, deflections, and deformations, allowing for optimization and refinement of the design.
• Connection Design: We carefully design the connections between facade elements, ensuring they are secure, durable, and capable of transferring loads effectively. Our engineers consider factors such as material compatibility, load distribution, and ease of construction to create reliable and efficient connection designs.
• Code Compliance: Our facade structural calculations adhere to local building codes, regulations, and industry standards. We stay updated with the latest codes and requirements to ensure that our designs and calculations meet all necessary compliance criteria.
• Documentation and Reports: We provide comprehensive documentation and reports that outline the structural calculations, design rationale, and analysis results. These detailed reports serve as valuable references for contractors, architects, and other stakeholders involved in the construction process.

By integrating facade structural calculations into our services, we offer a holistic approach to facade design and ensure that our solutions are not only visually appealing but also structurally sound and safe.
