• Coordinate facade systems such as curtain wall, ACP cladding, glazing, louvers, fins, and windows.
• Ensure facade design complies with project specifications, local codes, and safety standards.

Technical Coordination

• Coordinate with architects, structural consultants, MEP teams, and site engineers.
• Review IFC drawings, architectural drawings, and structural details.
• Support structural calculations and facade system feasibility.
• Resolve design clashes and technical issues during execution.

Material & System Selection

• Select suitable facade materials, profiles, glass specifications, and fixing systems.
• Verify material compatibility, thermal performance, waterproofing, and structural behaviour.
• Coordinate with vendors and suppliers for technical approvals.

Shop Drawings & Documentation

• Prepare and revise fabrication drawings and installation drawings.
• Generate BOM (Bill of Materials) and cutting lists if required.
• Maintain drawing revisions and documentation records.
• Submit drawings for consultant/client approval.
• Track drawing approval status and maintain submission logs.
• Provide as-built drawings after project completion.

Site & Production Coordination

• Conduct site measurements and verify dimensions before releasing fabrication drawings.
• Coordinate with production team regarding profile cutting, assembly sequence, and fabrication limitations.
• Provide technical clarification to fabrication and installation teams.
• Attend site inspections and monitor facade installation quality.
• Review mock-ups and sample installations.
• Support issue resolution related to alignment, leakage, fixing, and dimensional variations.
• Coordinate glass sizes and material optimization to reduce wastage.
• Ensure proper tolerance management between civil opening and facade installation.
• Coordinate anchor locations and embed details with civil/structural teams.
