The Turnkey Method
From initial consultation to certified installation: a single expert contact to turn your project into reality, on time and on budget.
Why choose VM Group's Integrated Model?
Managing a complex ventilated façade requires the coordination of multiple stakeholders. With over thirty years of experience in the sector, we have perfected a protocol that relieves the client of all management burdens, ensuring the highest quality of execution.
The advantages of our approach:
-
Single Point of Contact: A single line of responsibility for design, logistics, and construction.
-
Cost Optimization: We eliminate waste and inefficiencies resulting from supplier fragmentation.
-
Millimeter Precision: We integrate laser scanning measurements directly into the assembly line.
-
Delivery Schedule: Accurate timelines and seamless workforce management.
The Project Timeline
On this page, I recommend including a step-by-step diagram (perhaps with orange icons) showing the process:
-
Analysis & Survey: Feasibility study and data acquisition with laser scanner.
-
Engineering: Development of detailed drawings and material selection (including LEED certification).
-
Advanced Logistics: Procurement and management of flows to the construction site.
-
Qualified Installation: Installation by specialized teams and constant monitoring.
-
Testing & Diagnostics: Final validation through our Safe Protocol.
The VM Group Journey: From the Point Cloud to the Construction Site
VM Group's integrated project management process begins with data certainty. We don't start designing based on hypotheses, but rather on the building's detailed reality. Here are the phases of our operating method:
PHASE 1: Digital Survey & Data Acquisition
We use laser scanner systems and GeoSLAM technology to map the existing structure in real time. This allows us to generate a 3D point cloud that becomes the solid basis for all subsequent architectural and structural decisions.
PHASE 2: Engineering and Logistics
"Based on the digital survey, we develop the construction drawings and plan the procurement of materials, ensuring that each façade component arrives on site ready for assembly, without unforeseen issues or additional work on site.
PHASE 3: Installation and Final Inspection
"Our specialized teams perform the installation following rigorous safety standards. The process concludes with technical validation, ensuring that the actual performance of the envelope exactly matches the design.
Our integrated management makes use of our advanced Diagnostic Services and our specific consultancy for LEED Standards.
