Planning
At JB Aluminium, based in County Antrim, the Planning stage is a crucial phase in delivering high-quality aluminium window and door façade solutions.
Following the Design stage, Planning ensures every detail is accounted for before moving into fabrication and installation. Our expert team works closely with architects, developers, and construction professionals across Northern Ireland to ensure aluminium façade systems are delivered on time, on budget, and to specification.
Proper planning minimises delays, reduces errors, and ensures smooth project delivery from start to finish. For residential, commercial, and corporate developments, this stage sets the framework for success.
What Happens During the Planning Stage?
The planning process for aluminium window and door facades involves several critical tasks that turn a design concept into an actionable construction strategy. At JB Aluminium, we bring clarity and precision to each step.
1. Project Scope Review and Scheduling
Once the design is approved, our planning team conducts a full review of the project scope. We align with the construction programme to establish key milestones for aluminium façade fabrication and installation. This includes:
-
Site delivery timelines
-
Resource planning
-
Access and logistical considerations
-
Health and safety requirements
By creating a clear project roadmap, we avoid unnecessary delays and ensure seamless integration with the wider construction schedule.
2. Final System Selection and Component Coordination
We finalise the aluminium systems, glazing types, and finishes agreed upon in the design phase. This includes confirming suppliers, lead times, and coordinating with manufacturers to ensure the materials meet all project requirements. If necessary, we assist in sourcing compatible accessories and secondary components like brackets, thermal breaks, trims, and fixings – all crucial for the integrity of the aluminium window and door facade system.
3. Site Surveys and Risk Assessments
Our experienced team performs thorough site assessments to identify any potential challenges in advance. Whether it’s restricted access, structural alignment issues, or local weather exposure risks, we take proactive steps to solve these before they impact project timelines. Health and safety risk assessments are also completed at this stage, ensuring all planning complies with current construction and safety regulations across Northern Ireland.
4. Regulatory and Compliance Planning
During planning, we verify that all chosen aluminium façade systems meet current Building Regulations in Northern Ireland, including thermal performance (Part L), structural loading, fire safety, and acoustic performance. Where required, we also plan for sustainability goals such as BREEAM or Secured by Design certifications.
Why Planning Is Critical to Project Success
Without a robust planning process, even the best aluminium facade design can run into costly problems.
At JB Aluminium, we believe that precision planning is key to project efficiency and long-term performance.
Our planning team ensures that every aspect of the façade supply and installation is fully prepared – from logistics and delivery schedules to regulatory compliance and site-specific coordination.
