Yep. That's why we facade engineers have been known to
describe our work as being akin to dressmakers.  The
architects might be the high-flying fashion designers
who get all the press - but who'd want to wear their
clothes.  We're the ones which tuck and pin and tweak
the designs so that the clothing not only looks good,
but stays in place and keeps the water out!

Cheers
