Engineering built
to hold up
We support glazing contractors, manufacturers, and developers with precise shop drawings and performance calculations that ensure code compliance and constructability — including product approvals such as Miami-Dade NOA and Florida Product Approval.
What we cover
Infacade Corporation specializes in engineering services for architectural façade systems, from early design assist through fabrication-ready documentation.
- The challenge
- Architectural drawings show design intent, not how each mullion, anchor and flashing is fabricated and installed.
- What we deliver
- Fabrication-ready shop drawings in AutoCAD, Inventor and Revit — plans, elevations, sections and details — revised through submittal and approval.
- Who it’s for
- Glazing contractors, curtain wall fabricators and installers.
- The challenge
- Energy codes and specifications require documented U-factor, SHGC, VT and condensation performance before approval.
- What we deliver
- NFRC 100/200/500 THERM and WINDOW simulations with a clear report of U-factor, SHGC, VT and condensation resistance, ready for energy-code submittals.
- Who it’s for
- Manufacturers, glazing contractors and architects.

- The challenge
- Projects near highways, rail lines or mixed occupancies must meet strict STC and OITC targets.
- What we deliver
- STC/OITC calculations for glazing and wall assemblies, review of lab test data, and recommended glass makeups when targets are tight.
- Who it’s for
- Architects, developers and glazing contractors.
- The challenge
- Façade clashes with structure and MEP discovered in the field cause RFIs, delays and rework.
- What we deliver
- Detailed 3D façade models coordinated against the architectural and structural BIM, with clashes flagged early and quantities for takeoffs.
- Who it’s for
- General contractors, glazing contractors and design teams.
- The challenge
- Selling glazing products in hurricane zones requires Florida Product Approval or a Miami-Dade NOA.
- What we deliver
- Complete approval submittals — test reports, calculations and installation instructions — prepared and managed through review.
- Who it’s for
- Manufacturers and contractors in Florida and other high-wind regions.
- The challenge
- Every façade system must resist design wind pressures without excessive deflection or anchor failure.
- What we deliver
- ASCE 7 component and cladding wind loads, plus mullion, anchor and connection sizing for curtain wall, storefront and window wall.
- Who it’s for
- Glazing contractors, fabricators and engineers of record.
- The challenge
- Substituting a profile, hardware or glass makeup can trigger costly full-scale retesting.
- What we deliver
- Rational (comparative) analysis demonstrating structural and performance equivalency to the tested system.
- Who it’s for
- Manufacturers and contractors pursuing substitutions or value engineering.
- The challenge
- Incomplete permit packages lead to plan-review comments and schedule delays.
- What we deliver
- Sealed engineering letters and complete permit packages — calculations, shop drawings, product data and test reports — assembled to each jurisdiction’s requirements.
- Who it’s for
- Architects, contractors and manufacturers.
Window permit
drawings
Installing or replacing windows at home? Most Florida building departments require drawings before they will issue the permit. We prepare them so your installer can file the application and get it approved.
Request a quote- The challenge
- Your building department will not issue a window permit without drawings showing the openings, the products being installed and how they are anchored.
- What we deliver
- Permit drawings for your window installation — opening locations and sizes, product information and installation details — ready to submit with the permit application.
- Who it’s for
- Homeowners and the window installers who work with them.
From submittals through fabrication, Infacade provides façade engineering support at every project phase — for architects, general contractors, and developers who need it done right.
