Solutions for building envelopes
Rendering to realization
The facade specialists at Rieder and their established network support architects and planners in all project steps, from the early planning phase to the implementation. R2R – “Render to Realization” – describes Rieder’s integrative approach for developing a holistic solution for building envelopes and includes optional services.

Design development and facade optimization
-
-
-
- Converting the idea into a feasible facade
-
-
- Matching the design with production technology
-
-
-
- Consultation on technical possibilities
-
-
-
- Joint development of the facade solution

Economization
-
-
-

-
-
-
-
- Fragmentation of the building envelope into flat and formed elements
-
-
-
- Optimization of the facade division
-
-
-
- Matching with production parameters

Static calculation
-
-
- 3D calculation of elementary statics with finite element method (FEM)
-
-
-
-
- Static measurement of the element at any point
-
-
-
-
- Determination of the true need for fastening points, distance of the substructure, etc.
-
-
- Requirements for primary element substructure

Mock-ups & prototyping
-
-
- Transfer of existing concepts into practice
-
-
-
- Visual mock-up for evaluation of the visual expectations for the architectural performance
-
-
-
- Mock-up for technical testing, simulation of weathering, wind loads, etc.
-
-
- Optimization and release

Industrial manufacture
-
-
- Generation of the production data from 3D models
-
-
-
- Digital data integration through computer-controlled processes

Element substructure
-
- Production of the primary substructure as an optional range of services

Logistics service
-
- Development of the optimum assembly order and sequence
-
- Track & trace: Barcode and scan technology for unambiguous identification of each component within the production process, the supply chain, and on the construction site

Customized packaging
-
- Safe storage and delivery on polystyrene moulds (recyclable)

Quality assurance
-
- Quality standards ISO 9001 and 14001
-
- High degree of prefabrication under constant production conditions
