In-time quotes that include it all

Full list of materials that leaves nothing out, diagram of the system with details and any issues we see with the plans or specifications. The quote contains complete part-marked, hot-linked and highlighted set of drawings.

Engineering for the unexpected

We produce the most comprehensive shop and fabrication drawings in the industry, always based on the real measurements of the building. Our engineers are an expert resource on topics from NFPA-285 to designing for thermal efficiency.

Technology for precision

Our optional Laser Scan technology, custom integrated with our design and fabrication software makes millions of ultra-precise measurements of the building, so that we can fabricate a solution that always fits precisely on the wall.

Time-saving systems

Universe NFPA-285-approved systems are easy to use and save labour time. The 9000/9050 system is our most popular semi-unitized system with prefixed hidden fasteners. It can save up to 50% labour time in high-wage urban areas.

We have inventory and ample fabrication capacity in our local facilities in St Louis and Las Vegas. Our experienced logistics team communicates openly with partners to get the materials safely and timely on the spot even in the most demanding urban locations.

Protective and logical crating

Materials are packed in heavy-duty protective crating and organized in Universe Logical Packing Groups. Each facade element is logically grouped, documented and numbered in the drawings, making it easy to quickly retrieve the right piece at the right time.
