Materials
Stonepath Building Associates develops shop and fabrication drawings for the façade system on your project and coordinates the details that make it buildable, review ready, and installer friendly. The sections below outline how we support common materials and the coordination required to deliver a clean result.
High Pressure Laminate
Our role with HPL
Translate design intent into coordinated shop drawings and details for ventilated rainscreen applications.
Coordination points
Joint layout and module control, concealed fastener limits, subframing alignment, ventilation path, and UV exposure considerations.
Typical deliverables
Panel schedules, detail sheets for corners and penetrations, fastener schedules, and submittal packages.
Pitfalls we resolve
Interrupted ventilation at corners, oversize panels that show movement, and inconsistent joint modules.
Aluminum Composite Material
Our role with ACM
Prepare routed and folded panel details, returns, and attachment patterns that meet reviewer expectations and manufacturer literature.
Coordination points
Fire classification notes, rout maps and unfolding, sealant compatibility, back ventilation, and flatness control.
Typical deliverables
Panel development drawings, corner and return details, submittal cover sheets, and response memos.
Pitfalls we resolve
Panel creep on tall stacks, irregular reveals, and incompatible sealants.
Aluminum Plate
Our role with Aluminum Plate
Develop formed plate solutions for complex geometry and high impact zones with practical stiffening and isolation.
Coordination points
Stiffener strategy, thermal breaks, corrosion control, and attachment to secondary framing.
Typical deliverables
Panel development drawings, stiffener maps, isolation details, and fabrication ready shop drawings.
Pitfalls we resolve
Excessive deflection and misaligned returns at corners.
Insulated Metal Panels
Our role with IMP
Produce complete shop and fabrication drawings for single component envelopes using suppliers such as Kingspan, Falk, and Norbec.
Coordination points
Thermal bridging at supports, continuity of air and water control at openings, and manufacturer specific detailing, extrusions and moisture control.
Typical deliverables
Panel schedules, penetration and termination details, flashing sheets, fastener patterns, and full submittals aligned with the supplier.
Pitfalls we resolve
Thermal discontinuities at window surrounds and ambiguous attachment to secondary framing.
Metal Siding, Decking And Roofing
Our role with Metal Siding, Decking, etc
Lay out secondary framing so panel systems align, tolerate real world conditions, and install efficiently.
Coordination points
Span capability, corrosion protection, fastener pull out requirements, and trade sequencing.
Typical deliverables
Layout drawings, fastener patterns, shimming strategies, and coordination notes for the site team.
Pitfalls we resolve
Cumulative tolerance issues that drift panel grids and slow installation.
Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Our role with GFRC
Create shop and fabrication drawings, coordinate anchors and movement joints, and plan moisture management for thin concrete panels, ventilation requirements .
Coordination points
Anchor layout, edge protection during handling, drainage and ventilation, and interface details at corners and terminations.
Typical deliverables
Pitfalls we resolve
Cracking at corners, trapped moisture at recessed conditions, and misaligned anchors.
Porcelain And Terracotta Cladding
Our role with porcelain and terracotta
Coordinate rail and clip systems and develop precise module grids that protect the design intent.
Coordination points
Support rail layouts, thermal movement, corner returns, and sealant selection.
Typical deliverables
Panel grid development, rail and clip details, corner and edge conditions, and submittal packages.
Pitfalls we resolve
Broken edges during handling, misaligned coursing, and inconsistent joint widths.
How we support your system
Performance
We document air, water, vapour, thermal, and movement control at every interface so the envelope performs as intended.
Constructability
We plan tolerances and fastening so details install cleanly with available tools and trades.
Appearance
We protect the design intent through careful control of reveals, corners, and transitions.
Schedule And Cost
We organize submittals and responses so procurement and installation remain predictable.
