The architectural design shows how a facade will look; facade shop drawings show how it will be built. Mercan’s design office prepares engineering and detail drawings for facade systems for architecture firms, contractors and investors in Bursa and the Marmara Region.
What our detailed design covers
- Structural calculation report: sizing of profiles, panels, glass and anchors for wind and seismic loads.
- Anchor and bracket layout: connection points to the structure, distinguishing sliding and fixed connections.
- Typical and special details: slab, column, parapet, sill, corner and movement joint interfaces.
- Thermal and waterproofing details: thermal bridge solutions, membrane and drainage details.
- Fabrication drawings: panel unfoldings, profile cutting lists and glass schedules.
- Quantities and specifications: clear figures for tendering and cost control.
BIM and 3D modelling
On complex geometries, 3D modelling lets us see panel divisions, junctions and potential clashes before going on site, significantly reducing waste and rework costs.
Why commission detailed design?
Facades built without detailed design commonly suffer from water leaks, condensation caused by thermal bridges, panel distortion, insufficient anchoring and cost overruns. Properly prepared shop drawings guarantee both the quality of the installation and a predictable budget.
You can commission our detailed design service together with installation as a turnkey package, or as a stand-alone engineering/consultancy service.

Frequently asked questions
Why are facade shop drawings necessary?
The architectural design shows how the facade will look; shop drawings show how it will be built. Without structural calculations, anchor positions, joint details and fabrication drawings, installations suffer from leaks, thermal bridges, panel distortion and safety risks.
