Architectural Cladding & Façade Systems
Engineered metal cladding, rainscreen and façade systems — from composite panels and laser-cut screens to custom riveted skins — detailed, fabricated and installed to protect design intent.
Architectural Systems designs, fabricates and installs metal cladding and façade systems that give commercial buildings their identity — and protect the design team’s vision through every step of construction. From sleek aluminum composite panel systems to intricate laser-cut decorative screens and custom riveted metal skins, we build the exterior and feature walls that architects specify and developers rely on.
Our combined architectural and structural engineering background means we don’t just bend metal — we solve the constructability problems that decide whether a façade looks the way it was drawn. We resolve panel layouts, reveals, attachment and waterproofing details in coordinated shop drawings, then fabricate to architectural tolerances in our own shop.
Because cladding lives at the intersection of aesthetics, weather performance and budget, we engage early to budget and value-engineer without sacrificing the designer’s intent — exactly the approach that has delivered feature façades and amenity-area panels on projects throughout Silicon Valley and the greater Bay Area.
Why this scope works better with us
Design Intent, Protected
We translate the architect’s renderings into buildable shop drawings without watering down the look — reveals, returns and panel joints resolved before fabrication.
Single-Source Accountability
Engineering, fabrication, finishing and installation under one roof, so the façade scope has one point of responsibility from budget to punch list.
Value Without Compromise
We identify substitutions and detailing efficiencies that reduce cost and schedule while holding the visual standard the design demands.
Our fabrication process
Design-Assist & Budget
We join at concept or DD to budget, problem-solve constructability, and value-engineer without sacrificing the designer’s intent.
Shop Drawings & Engineering
Detailed shop drawings, connection design and BIM coordination, submitted for architect and GC approval.
Fabrication
In-house cutting, forming, welding, laser-cut work and finishing — to architectural tolerances.
Finishing
Powder coat, anodize, paint, patina, blackened steel and specialty finishes coordinated to the spec.
Delivery & Field Installation
Sequenced delivery and professional installation, coordinated to the project schedule.
