Drawn to the system, not a guess

Every cladding system has its own fixing centres, joint widths and flashing details, and in New Zealand most claddings sit over a drained cavity under E2/AS1 or the supplier's appraised system. We draw to the supplier's literature and the designer's details, and mark anything outside them so it is raised before installation rather than on site.

Our founder spent more than 17 years at James Hardie as a technical manager and wrote the ExoTec facade manual, so fibre-cement and panel systems are home ground for us.

Systems we draw

  • Fibre-cement panels and weatherboards
  • Timber weatherboards and shiplap
  • Aluminium composite and metal panels
  • Brick veneer and plaster systems
  • Rainscreen and cavity systems on commercial buildings

Questions we are asked

Do you take responsibility for weathertightness?

No. Weathertightness design stays with the designer and the system supplier. Our drawings set out their details, and we flag conflicts so they can be resolved before work starts.
