What sets us apart

About SAR Facades Design
We built SAR around one idea: facade coordination should be thorough, fast, and stress-free for the contractor. 300+ projects later, that's still how we operate — every package delivered complete, compliant, and on schedule.
Our story
SAR Facades Design started with a straightforward belief: facade coordination requires a level of document review that most firms skip. Over 300+ projects across the U.S., we turned that belief into a methodology — one built on real project failures, not theory.
2013
SAR Facades Design founded — with a focus on curtain wall and storefront shop drawings for the U.S. market.
2016
Expanded into full building envelope coordination — managing interfaces between glazing, structure, waterproofing, and envelope systems.
2018
Formalized our full-coordination protocol — a proven system that keeps submittals clean, approvals fast, and clients informed at every step.
Present
300+ projects completed. Serving glazing contractors, GCs, and envelope consultants nationwide — with repeat business as our primary growth driver.
How we work
From day one, our team coordinates every detail of your facade package — architectural, structural, specs, and permits — so your drawings are approval-ready when you need them. No waiting, no back-and-forth, no surprises at submittal.
"We don't just deliver drawings — we deliver certainty. Every package goes out coordinated, compliant, and on schedule."
What we cover
Glazing Shop Drawings
Curtain wall, storefront, window wall — fully coordinated packages delivered on schedule and approval-ready from the first submission.
Fabrication & Installation Support

Permit Compliance & Verification
NOA/FL approval verification, opening-by-opening review, and permit package QA — so your submission goes in right the first time.
BIM & Technical QA
Facade Revit coordination, clash detection, and schedule validation — so your project moves on accurate, verified data.
