Cladding for residential buildings
Facade Cladding for Residential Buildings and Towers
code compliant, on the occupancy schedule
Residential facade cladding means Alucobond panels on a rear ventilated system with mineral insulation and fire stops at every floor level. On towers the customary specification is an A2 mineral core; elsewhere, FR. Cost runs a project-specific figure, and an average building takes 10 to 14 weeks.
Developers and main contractors rely on us.
In residential projects, the timeline is not a suggestion. It is the contract. At DAR GROUP we understand the pressures of a major residential project. Early BIM planning prevents clashes. CNC fabrication runs in parallel with other trades. Tight logistics ensure materials arrive on site exactly when needed. We are not the bottleneck.
What you get
The value we deliver
- 01
BIM coordination across disciplines
3D models that integrate cleanly with the architectural, MEP, and main contractor models. Clashes resolved before construction starts.
- 02
On schedule for occupancy
Reverse-planned from your handover date. Prefabrication of components, parallel installation with finishing trades. We do not slow your project.
- 03
Strict fire safety compliance
Panels with mineral cores rated FR or A2. Documented to code 921. Full documentation for building control review.
- 04
Logistics built for scale
Storage, deliveries, and site staging on plan. Mobile installation crews that can work multiple facades in parallel.
How we work with you
The process, step by step
- 01
Planning team meeting
We sit with the architect, structural engineer, and developer. Understanding the requirements and the schedule.
- 02
BIM planning & quote
3D models, quantity takeoffs, and a detailed per-square-meter cost.
- 03
Pre-fabrication
We start fabricating components before site installation begins, shortening on-site time.
- 04
Controlled installation
Crews coordinated with the main site schedule. Continuous supervision and quality control.
Frequently asked questions
Questions we get about residential buildings
How do you work with a main contractor?
We operate as a coordinated subcontractor. All contracts, insurance, and supervision are arranged in advance. The main contractor gets a detailed work schedule and ongoing progress updates.
Do you provide BIM modeling?
Yes. We deliver a BIM model of the facade in a format that integrates with the overall project model. This includes fabrication details, quantity schedules, and technical sections.
What about fire safety?
We work with panels rated FR or A2 with mineral cores that meet code 921. Every project ships with full material documentation and regulatory approvals.
How do you handle design changes?
Every change goes through an orderly change-request process with cost and schedule impact assessed and approved in writing. No surprises in price or delays.
