Mock-ups and sample panels allow materials, detailing and installation methods to be reviewed before full production and installation begin.
By constructing representative sections of the façade, the project team can confirm stone selection, jointing and fixing systems, helping ensure the proposed design is practical to build and achieves the required quality on site.
- Design development and technical review of stone façade details
- Mock-ups prepared during PCSA stages to support early project coordination
- Buildability testing to confirm fixing systems, tolerances and installation methodology
- Material samples and façade benchmark panels for client and design team approval
Solutions
Our façade mock-ups and sample panels are developed to validate design intent, material selection, and installation methodology ahead of construction. By replicating key details at full scale, we enable early coordination, reduce risk on site, and provide confidence in both aesthetics and performance prior to manufacture and installation.
Design Development Support
Mock-ups allow façade details to be reviewed and refined during the design phase, ensuring stone dimensions, joint layouts and fixing strategies are fully understood before construction begins.
PCSA Stage Testing
Many mock-ups are prepared during PCSA stages, allowing the project team to review proposed façade solutions and resolve technical issues before the main works commence.
Buildability Verification
Mock-ups help confirm that installation methods, fixing systems and sequencing are practical and achievable on site.
Material & Finish Approval
Stone samples and benchmark panels allow architects and clients to review colour, texture and finish before final production begins.
Interface Coordination
Mock-ups help verify the interfaces between stone cladding, glazing, structure and other façade elements, ensuring tolerances and junction details are coordinated.
Client Assurance
By constructing a representative section of the façade, mock-ups provide confidence to clients and consultants that the final installation will meet the required quality and design standards.
