Tailored Design

Custom AdapTive Envelope SysTems designed around your architecture, program, and finish vision.

From schematic layouts to full fabrication release, every project follows a precise creative-to-build process — ensuring each detail fits your site, style, and comforT goals.

How the Tailored Design Path Works

Custom, site-specific integration from concept to commissioning. Clear milestones, documented deliverables, and predictable billing.

1) Consultation & Site Capture

Stakeholder call, program brief, constraints, and opportunity mapping. We collect photos, dimensions, and context to anchor concept work.
Deliverables: scope outline, inspiration references, preliminary feasibility notes.

2) Concept & Engineering (10%)

Schematic layouts with selected roof/enclosure SysTems, value-engineered to span limits and sightlines.
Deliverables: plan/sections, finish palette direction, ROM pricing, milestone schedule.

3) Approvals & Fabrication Release (40%)

Final selections, shop-drawing set, and production slot assignment. Materials are procured; lead time starts.
Deliverables: approved shops, hardware schedules, install coordination checklist.

4) Shipment, Delivery & Commissioning (50%)

Crating, freight, and onsite scope. We set, program, and test automation: open, partial, and sealed modes.
Deliverables: O&M guide, control presets, handoff walkthrough.

Working across multiple areas? We can stagger releases by zone to open spaces sooner and balance cash flow.

Milestones & Deliverables

What to expect at each step of a Tailored Design project—clear milestones, documented deliverables, and a predictable 10 / 40 / 50 billing ladder that moves you from vision to push-button ComforT.

Why Two Paths Work

We offer both Tailored Design and Fabrication Ready to match how teams think and build. Some projects need deep architectural integration; others need speed with minimal friction. Either way, every system delivers the same principle: Adaptive Comfort by Design.

Right Path, Right Pace

Tailored Design supports creative exploration and coordination. Fabrication Ready prioritizes speed to site with proven configurations.

Shared Quality

Both paths use the same engineered components, finishes, and controls—with identical performance standards and warranty support.

Predictable Results

Clear milestones and payments align with deliverables—protecting budgets and timelines from concept to commissioning.

Scalable Integration

From a single cabana to multi-zone resort programs, the system scales cleanly—attached or freestanding, open air or glazed.

Not sure which path fits your goals? Explore both or connect with our team to discuss your project.

From Vision to Installation

Both paths enter the same disciplined process—concept, engineering, fabrication, and commissioning.
Tailored Design begins with creative integration; Fabrication Ready begins with proven models. The outcome is identical: an AdapTive Envelope built for precision and push-button ComforT.

Tailored Design Track

Custom · Site-Specific
  1. Consultation & Site Capture — goals, constraints, and context documented.
  2. Concept & Engineering (10%) — layouts, spans, finishes, ROM pricing.
  3. Fabrication Release (40%) — approved shops, materials procured, slot assigned.
  4. Shipment & Commissioning (50%) — delivery, install, presets, handoff.
Payment ladder: 10 / 40 / 50 · Typical shipment 10–12 weeks after final approvals.

Fabrication Ready Track

Pre-Engineered · Fast Start
  1. Explore Models — sizes, pricing, options selected.
  2. Reserve Build Slot (50%) — order acknowledgment and window issued.
  3. Build & Ship (50%) — QC, crating, freight coordination.
  4. Install & Presets — assembly, programming, operating tutorial.
Payment ladder: 50 / 50 · Typical shipment 10–12 weeks after final selections.

Shared Outcome: Push-Button ComforT

Both tracks converge in commissioning: controls are tuned for open, partial, and sealed modes; teams are trained; and documentation (O&M, care, and presets) is delivered. Same materials, same standards, same result—Adaptive Comfort. Designed.

Continue your journey — explore, learn, or take action.

Built for Confidence

Whether you choose Tailored Design or Fabrication Ready, every project is backed by the same engineering team, the same materials and controls, and the same commitment to long-term comfort and reliability.

Same Engineering Team

Structural expertise, load paths, drainage logic, and automation standards are consistent across both paths.

Proven Systems

Field-tested components in demanding hospitality environments—built for daily duty cycles and clean operation.

Documented Quality

Each unit ships with drawings, O&M guides, control presets, and care references for smooth handoff.

Lasting Partnership

Post-install support and service resources to keep systems operating at peak comfort year after year.

Tailored Design — FAQs

Quick answers about scope, schedule, approvals, and coordination for custom, site-specific projects.

What’s included in the 10% Concept & Engineering phase?

Schematic layouts and value-engineered options for spans, drainage, and sightlines; finish direction; ROM pricing; and a milestone schedule. These deliverables are used to align the team before shop drawings.

When does the 40% Fabrication Release occur?

After approvals on layouts, finishes, and hardware packages, we issue shop drawings and assign a production slot. Materials are procured and your lead time begins.

How long until shipment?

Typical shipment is 10–12 weeks after final approvals. Multi-zone programs can be staggered so priority areas open earlier.

Do you coordinate with architects and contractors?

Yes. We provide shop sets, hardware schedules, and install coordination checklists and will align with your architect/GC for structure, utilities, drainage, and finishes. Project architects/engineers remain responsible for permitting and code compliance.

What happens at commissioning?

We set and test open/partial/sealed presets, verify drainage and controls, and conduct a handoff walkthrough with O&M documentation, care references, and service contacts.
