Our Architectural and Contractor Services is what makes InSync Solar different from the completion. We have found many Architects and Contractors have become more and more overwhelmed trying to specify the correct Engineered Shading Solution. To help with the confusion, we at InSync Solar work with the Architect from itinial concept to completion to ensure their vision is met.
ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
When Architects work with one of our consultants during the planning and design stages, products are proposed and integrated into the project as Engineered Shading Solutions and not as afterthoughts. Consultants provide Architects with many useful services in designing, planning, and fabricating Engineered Shading Solutions.
CONCEPT DRAWINGS & RENDERINGS
Concept drawings or renderings may be needed when a visual representation is required. The consultant may offer solutions from the toolkit of products, but sometimes there is a need for unique customization. The first step would be to provide a concept drawing as the one shown below. In this instance, the Architect was seeking a treatment that would travel down a solarium skylight onto the vertical wall in one application.
On request, the consultant is also able to provide a computer rendering. The rendering below shows both interior and exterior views of our TF51 Exterior Shading Solution
SHADE MAPPING
Once the decisions are made concerning which Engineered Shading Solutions are to be specified on the project, the consultant provides the Architect with a service called Shade Mapping. A shade map is a color-coded representation of the specified engineered shading solutions applied to the project plans.
The shade map includes the location of the shades on the floor plan and in elevation, the required wiring diagrams for the automated shades, the wood blocking for the installation of the brackets, and other pertinent details. When a shade map is provided to the general contractor, the architect knows that there are no excuses for such costly mishaps as inadequate electrical connections or missing wood blocking for the shades.
