What we do
Our Expertise
Facades
At Sutherland, our expert facade engineering services focus on the intricate balance between architectural aesthetics and performance. With a keen eye on thermal comfort and occupant well-being, we ensure that our facade solutions meet the highest standards. Facades often constitute a considerable portion of a building’s expenses, accounting for up to 15%. Therefore, the financial impact of facade performance is significant, affecting the building’s overall lifetime cost. Our meticulous approach to selecting facade performance strategies during the design phase is essential for ensuring the long-term financial sustainability of your project.
Since its inception in 2015, Sutherland Facades has designed and delivered a substantial portfolio of iconic buildings across Southern, Western and Eastern Africa.
