Advanced Custom Engineering Center
When a project moves beyond the system standard, the Advanced Custom Engineering Center (ACE) develops the technical answer. Working on Schüco, Jansen and Warema systems, ACE turns non-standard requirements into solutions you can specify and build.
Custom solution engineering
Four areas of expertise cover the technical questions that typically arise when a project departs from the system standard.
Custom profile engineering
Tailored profile solutions and connection details for requirements that standard system components cannot meet.
- Custom profile development
- Connection details to the building structure
- Alternative solution proposals
Building physics
Project-specific calculations that quantify the thermal and acoustic behaviour of a detail before it goes to tender.
- Thermal calculations with WinIso
- Condensation risk analysis
- Sound insulation calculations
Models & article search
Physical models and precise part identification that give your team something tangible to assess and order from.
- 3D-printed profile section models
- 3D-printed hand samples
- Article search for system components
Implementation Stage
Installation support, on-site technical consultation, and commissioning assistance ensuring proper system performance.
- Installation guidance
- On-site troubleshooting
- Performance testing
How ACE supports your project
The earlier ACE is involved, the more options remain open. Support follows the course of a project, from the first concept to the final detail.
Early involvement
Requirements are defined together at concept stage, so a first technical approach exists before design decisions are fixed.
- Requirement definition
- Initial solution concept
- Alignment with your local contact
System proposal
ACE proposes suitable systems and verifies whether the intended technical solution meets the project requirements.
- System proposal
- Verification of the technical solution
- Review of project requirements
Alternative solutions
Where the first approach reaches its limits, ACE develops a viable alternative instead of leaving the question open.
- Alternative system proposals
- Custom profile solutions
- Additional engineering services
Detailing & documentation
Connection details, calculations, BIM data and visuals translate the agreed solution into documents your team can plan with.
- Connection details
- Building physics calculations
- BIM data and visualisations
Who ACE works for
ACE supports everyone who carries technical responsibility for a building envelope that goes beyond the standard.
Architects & planners
Designing façades and openings that call for non-standard profiles or details.
- Custom solutions that keep the design intent
- Connection details for planning documents
- BIM data for your design environment
Fabricators
Manufacturing windows, doors and façades for projects with special requirements.
- Buildable custom profile solutions
- Physical models for assessment
- Precise article identification
Investors & developers
Evaluating technical options early, while changes are still straightforward to make.
- Early technical assessment
- Visualisations for decision-making
- Alternative solution proposals
General contractors
Coordinating building envelope packages across trades and project stages.
- Verified technical solutions
- Calculations for project documentation
- Engineering support alongside your local team
