Expert Style Guidance

IN WHAT STYLE SHOULD I BUILD?

Completing the elevations of a new building in an assured and consistent style has never been potentially more profitable to the owner. To enable this, the long-established company Melgrand has created over 1000 decorative elements for use on facades. They range from simple string course pieces and window surrounds to complex cornice elements. The deep collective experience and skill of Melgrand employees and associates has created this unique resource plus the capability of creating custom pieces.

 

Style decisions can be commenced in a process called an Initial Façade Appraisal. This amounts to a starting point as you move towards the selection of an appropriate style with its special components. All elements will be considered in this IFA, including elements from sources other than Melgrand. This preliminary discussion will be subject to a fee depending on the size and complexity of the concept under consideration. Fees will range from $500 to around $3000.

    General guidelines will be suggested which will be expressed in a written professional opinion covering various aspects of style and detail.

    After this the product specialists at Melgrand will be available to prepare a quotation for those Melgrand products which will fit the concept.​ A telephone conversation will start this process. Contact Melgrand for an initial discussion without any obligation.

Disclaimer: Melgrand is not offering the services normally offered by a registered architect or engineer.

Certification of any kind is not part of the offer.

    This Appraisal will be conducted by a qualified Architectural Historian who has over thirty years of experience in building and facade design in traditional and modern modes: 10 years of academic research are combined with thirty years of practical building site and manufacturing experience.
