If desired, a mock-up can be produced so that the architect, client and contractor can gain a realistic impression of the end result in advance and any details can be adjusted in good time.
Stage 2 – Drawing up the quotation
The analysis is followed by the technical engineering phase. Borgh carries out all necessary calculations determined on the basis of the project-specific circumstances. Among other things, the following are taken into account: wind load, building height, ground conditions and the chosen façade finish.
Based on this data, a comprehensive solution detailed. The quotation covers not only the STRCTR support structure, but also all the necessary fixing materials and accessories required for correct installation. This results in a comprehensive package leaving nothing to chance. The quotation is also reviewed together with the client, so that every detail is clear before work begins.

Once the documentation has been approved, Borgh will arrange for all materials to be ordered and delivered to the site on time. The start of the works will be coordinated with the site manager to ensure that the installation proceeds according to plan.
Where necessary, Borgh also supports the contractor during the execution of the works by technical support and practical instructions on site.
