Innovation, optimization and automation in facade design

In an era when the construction industry is increasingly demanding efficiency, cost control and aesthetics, WB&E Facade Design has emerged as a leading specialist in the design and optimization of complex facades. With an impressive portfolio stretching from Europe and North America to even Australia, the company positions itself as an innovative force in the world of facade design and production automation. What makes WB&E so unique in their approach and what can we learn from their collaboration with software provider ISD?

WB&E Facade Design excels at mastering the entire process, from initial design to production of advanced facade systems. Their in-depth knowledge of HiCAD, a powerful software tool specifically tailored to the construction industry, allows them to optimize each project down to the smallest detail. This allows clients not only to design more accurately, but also to produce faster and more efficiently.

Customized solutions for global challenges

A recurring theme at WB&E is their commitment to customization. In an industry where no two projects are the same, they understand that each client has unique requirements for their design and manufacturing processes. Therefore, WB&E works closely with clients to conduct a thorough inventory and evaluate how best to translate the design to production. The result is a carefully crafted roadmap tailored to the specific needs of the project. Once the initial phase of optimization is complete, the process is automated, with the integration of ERP systems and databases often playing a key role. In some cases, WB&E even goes a step further by interfacing with CAM software, leading to a seamless transition from design to production.

Success Stories 

WB&E's expertise extends beyond consulting. Their involvement in some of the most ambitious facade projects worldwide underscores their innovative strength and technical knowledge. For example, they recently realized a parametric design of a "Unitized System Wall" for a project in North America, where they were responsible not only for the design, but also for the complete fit-out.

In Europe, they supported facade builder Hegge in optimizing their HiCAD systems for the prestigious D'Ieteren - Mobilis project, resulting in a streamlined production process and successful delivery. Currently, WB&E is working on a major project in Australia, where they are engineering a project with a facade area of no less than 15,000 m².

The key to WB&E Facade Design's success lies in their constant drive for innovation. Through a combination of deep technical knowledge, strategic partnerships and customized solutions, they remain at the forefront of the world of facade design and optimization. WB&E Facade Design proves that the future of facade design lies in a perfect synergy between creative design and technological advances. Through continuous improvement and collaboration with leading software vendors, WB&E remains an essential partner for clients looking for advanced, sustainable and cost-effective facade solutions.
