What Master Facades does

Master Facades Engineering Solutions LLC is a privately held facade engineering consultancy headquartered in Sharjah, UAE, with wholly-owned operating subsidiaries in Australia (Epping, New South Wales via Hivee Australia Pty Ltd) and India (Bengaluru via Master Facades India Pvt. Ltd.). The firm was formerly known as Vaibhava Design Consultants before rebranding to its current name, and reports 14+ years of industry experience, 168+ projects executed, and 42+ clients served. It specializes in building envelope engineering for the glazing and architectural metal works industry.

The company delivers a comprehensive suite of facade engineering services organized as distinct offerings: 2D drawings (concept through as-built), structural calculations, thermal and acoustic calculations with condensation reports, BIM services covering LOD 100 through LOD 500, 3D and Tekla Structures modelling, estimation and costing (including value engineering and quantity survey), technical submittals, third-party engineering consultancy authorized by Dubai Municipality registered engineers, and dedicated liaison engineering with staff embedded at client offices. The underlying technology stack centers on Building Information Modelling, Tekla Structures, 2D/3D CAD modelling, and structural/thermal/acoustic calculation tools, supported by parametric family creation and clash detection capabilities.

Master Facades operates a B2B, sales-led, project-based professional services model targeting architects, facade contractors, builders, and construction developers. The go-to-market is direct and consultative, with dedicated liaison engineers assigned to client offices for coordination. Customer segments span airports and museums, commercial developments, residential construction, mixed developments, industrial projects, and renovation and restoration. The firm addresses an acute shortage of authenticated facade design professionals and the high cost of retaining full-time specialists by offering competitive, project-based pricing, and is positioned to capture value from the post-COVID trend of facade costs rising to 20–30% of total building cost, where accurate estimation and value engineering are increasingly critical.
