Independent facade consultancy, built on evidence
ALM was founded to close the gaps that fragment most facade projects. We carry a single accountable thread from feasibility through design control to close-out — every decision grounded in physics, testing and evidence rather than assumption.
Built to fix a broken handoff
For decades, the building envelope has been split across consultants, engineers, fabricators and installers who rarely share a language — let alone a plan. The weakest points of any facade are the gaps between them.
ALM Complete Design was founded to remove those gaps. Drawing on three decades of combined experience leading facade design across commercial, residential, education and healthcare projects, we hold a single accountable thread from feasibility and design control through to close-out.
Every recommendation is evidence-led: wind and structural loading, thermal and condensation risk, fixings, secondary steel, system selection and Building Safety Act evidence — resolved with analysis and testing, then verified on site.
The principles behind every envelope
Accountability
One team owns the envelope end to end. No gaps, no finger-pointing, no lost intent between disciplines.
Precision
Every decision is grounded in physics and analysis, not assumption. We measure twice so buildings perform once.
Partnership
We engage early and stay close, treating your programme, budget and reputation as our own.
Responsibility
Lower carbon, safer buildings and longer service lives are engineered in from the first sketch.
Have an envelope challenge?
Bring us in early. The sooner we engage, the more risk and cost we can design out of your building envelope.
