Building Facade Access / BMU Consultancy

A successful building facade is not just about architectural design and durability—it must also be safe and accessible for long-term cleaning and maintenance. At Envelopetechnik Facade Consultancy LLP, we specialize in facade access system and BMU (Building Maintenance Unit) consultancy, ensuring your building remains functional, compliant, and visually appealing for decades.

Why Facade Access Planning Matters?

A well-integrated facade access system should be considered early in the design phase, with sufficient budgeting to support long-term value. Not all buildings require high-end, complex solutions—many benefit from simple, cost-effective access systems tailored to the design and usage requirements.

Designing an appropriate access strategy is a highly specialized task that requires technical expertise, engineering knowledge, and industry insight. That’s why developers and architects around the world rely on independent BMU consultants—like Envelopetechnik—to guide their projects toward efficiency, safety, and compliance.

Our Core BMU Consultancy Services

✅ Strategy & Advisory

Many architects, developers, or clients approach equipment manufacturers directly. However, manufacturers often promote their own standard products, which may not be the most suitable or cost-effective solution for your project.

As independent BMU consultants, Envelopetechnik provides unbiased guidance. We explore multiple options for façade access, covering every part of the building—from simple manual systems to advanced automated BMUs—ensuring the selected solution aligns with your building’s unique geometry, budget, and operational needs.


✅ Facade Access System Design

We develop customized access system designs based on building layout, height, and complexity. Our team ensures that all façade areas can be safely reached for cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. Our designs are innovative, practical, and compliant with local and international safety standards.


✅ Operational Efficiency & Safety

Choosing the right system is not just about access—it’s also about long-term operability and ease of use. Our consultancy focuses on selecting equipment that reduces downtime, minimizes manual effort, and improves safety during operation. With Envelopetechnik overseeing the process, clients reduce the risk of poor design choices and costly revisions.


✅ Commercial Support & Vendor Negotiation

With deep insight into industry benchmarks, pricing structures, and contract practices, Envelopetechnik can support clients in vendor selection and commercial negotiations. Our involvement can reduce both capital and operational costs, ensuring you get the best value from your facade access investment.
