About us

Profile

FDS LTD. is a design company specializing in façades. Over the past 9 years, we have completed more than 400 projects in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and the USA.

Purpose

Our mission is speed up facade design production and boost human creativity by automating repetitive tasks, thereby reducing human errors and saving time, materials and resources.

Research and Development

Our research and development team are focused on developing digital tools to automate facade design.

Process

Our process begins with the submission of Design In Principle (DIP) sketches. Once the DIP is approved, we proceed to facade modeling. Afterward, we integrate the structural, architectural, and facade models to create a comprehensive federated model. From this model, we generate shop drawings, material take-offs, and fabrication drawings.
