EXPERT DESIGN SOLUTIONS

Building cladding technology changes rapidly and with new materials, finishes, and systems are added to designers tools. This requires careful evaluation and suitable application to the projects. RSM’s experience and expertise helps evaluate and balance the pros and cons to make right choices and will offer the best solution after professional evaluation for your unique project.

Facade cladding failures are a leading cause of building construction problems and are noticed only after construction is completed. Facade cladding can represent 20% of construction costs on new projects. Engaging a specialist consultant during cladding design increases your success in achieving design, budget, and performance targets. Bringing an expert in your team early in the design process helps avoid cladding design deficiencies. Team RSM's consultants quickly pinpoint problem areas and resolve technical issues before they become building failures.

SERVICES TO ARCHITECTS

RSM Reviews preliminary architectural perspectives pertaining to the building envelopes. RSM interacts with architect’s team to understand preferences and design parameters, client’s concerns and constraints.

TENDER / BID EVALUATION

Team RSM assists Clients’ shortlisting of Vendors with laid down criteria, evaluates the Vendors’ proposals technical and commercial component conformity, meeting of parameters, namely drainage system, thermal movements, tolerance, building movements, fire regulations, structural stability, etc.

PROJECT SURVEY

Team RSM conducts survey with most updated and owned equipment. Total Stations with experience Surveyors. Survey Reports are submitted with respect to wall type depicting observations/deviations and recommendations. Submissions include printed graphs, photos, condition of slabs in excel sheet, etc.

BIM MODELLING

RSM with its building façade engineering application of BIM software facilitates its clients with current BIM requirements. Quality of the structural interface with façade wall types and elements and also with other vendors.3D detailing is also generated for assisting Vendors in understanding detailing for ease of fabrication and installation at site.

THERMAL ANALYSIS

RSM offers thermal modeling and analysis services to building facade system manufacturers and subcontractors during system design development and technical submission phases. We also offer these services to Architects and Construction Managers to define design parameters during project documentation phases, for LEED® certification purposes or to diagnose condensation/frost formation after facade system installation.

PARAMETRIC & ACOUSTIC ANALYSIS

RSM provides project-specific blast mitigation requirements, using current ISC and DOD design methodologies. We also consider the Architectural and end-user functional requirements of the building, such as building use and location, to provide both required occupant safety and enhanced aesthetic qualities.

MATERIALS AND ASSEMBLYS ASSISTANCE AND SERVICES

RSM believes the exterior assemblies i.e. fixtures is an integrated part of the building substrate. The criteria of its selection therefore is vital to avoid failures. RSM provides design assistance with specifications, structural calculations,

vendor/material selection criteria, shop drawing and system detailing. RSM also recommends shortlist façade elements for timely execution and completion of projects considering logistic, production capacities, Taxes, etc.

LEED CERTIFICATION SERVICES

The apex body for LEED Certification in India is IGBC of which RSM is the Council Member. RSM has accredited professionals to assist the Client’s team in adhering and obtaining Leed Certification.

FIELD AND LAB TESTING

RSM provides Air infiltration and Water penetration resistance testing, for both on-site building facade mock-ups and facade systems in their final, installed state on a building. We also perform diagnostic water leak investigations using industry standard field testing protocols.

ROOFING SERVICES

RSM give importance to the roofing system as it integrates with the complete building envelopes. The design detailing is therefore incorporated at the initial stage taking into consideration loads / interfaces with other wall types and erection/execution sequence. RSM services include the specification for performance criteria, material selection/specification, shop drawings, wind load analysis, analysis of loads with other wall types, maintenance, etc.

Facade Project Management Consultancy

Team RSM monitors complete Bar-chart progress from Procurement of Raw material to Fabrication, Assembly and installation stages. Keeping the fabricators on his toes and the clients well updated, thereby achieving the set standards of quality and deadlines in harmony to the project completion schedule.

ENGINEERING 3D DEVELOPMENT IN PROJECTS

RSM offers wide range of Structural 3D-Modeling & Designing Services and believe in long term association with every client. 3D-Models are created to assist with reading complicated conventional drawings.

Plans, Elevations, Sections and The 3D-Models are dimensionally accurate and small areas can be plotted at any scale, eliminating the need to separate through large numbers of 2D drawings to find information.The model can be fully coordinated with installation and logistical problems being resolved prior to construction. The 3D-Model design are best utilized starting with the concept stage of the project so many aspects in the development process can be considered with the faced ingrained in project design. Clients unfamiliar with reading conventional drawings can view proposed projects in a simple understandable form. Following are some of examples of 3D-Models :
