Project Management

Providing one-stop design, cost and delivery certainty, SAS Project Management is the specialist design-led installation division of SAS International. Managing projects through design, supply and installation.

On many of todays major construction projects clients and main contractors wish to limit their risk and have the comfort and benefits of all-encompassing warranties; SAS Project Management is pleased to take on this role. A single point of contact from start to finish.

SAS Project Management enables projects to be personally managed by our in-house team, which can be particularly beneficial for technically challenging applications or for buildings where there is a high degree of mechanical or design complexity.

SAS Project Management can help to realise innovative technical design features right from design stage, for example to deliver a performance chilled beam in a landmark building or a precision metal solution for large scale infrastructure project.

Individual project managers co-ordinate the full range of SAS International products and the supply and integration of third party products.

Where chilled ceilings and beams require design and performance to meet architectural, mechanical and electrical demands, SAS project managers work with our in-house Room Comfort specialist while co-ordinating the project teamsÕ requirements. They can liaise with clients and design teams on preferred on-site installation processes, and work with locally seconded specialist contractors and/or directly with the main contractor on a worldwide basis.

SAS Project Management can therefore help ensure consistent, high installation standards are met and maintained wherever your project is, further providing our clients with peace of mind.

The Design Process
SAS International has a reputation as a design-led manufacturer, supporting projects every step of the way. Design plays a pivotal role in the SAS International process; working with project teams from the earliest stage ensures our complete understanding of what is required from the outset, allowing us to recommend best of class solutions.

With design teams based in the UK and UAE, we use our detailed knowledge of the built environment sector and manufacturing techniques to meet your requirements through the most cost effective and sustainable means possible.

Concept Design
Working with the project team, we discuss initial proposals and ideas and then develop these to meet project requirements. We combine design and manufacturing expertise to recommend the most appropriate ways of integrating services and other details into the building fabric.

Design Proposal
Bringing all the ideas and information together, we produce a detailed Design Proposal and Drawings for further discussion and agreement, ensuring best practice is inherent in every aspect.

Mock-Ups
Our commitment to the design and review process is demonstrated by the visualisation of our solutions in product mock-ups. It is often difficult to visualise complex product applications, our in-house technical team develops mock-ups that provide the opportunity to view bespoke architectural metalwork products and make design adjustments prior to manufacture.

SAS International works to ensure that everyone involved in the specification of a product or system is able to understand the design, manufacturing process and performance prior to manufacture. We facilitate this through demonstration areas and training at our various facilities.

Manufacturing Design
The evolution of a design is inevitable during the initial stages of any project. Our internal processes facilitate a clear path to amendment and agreement, resulting in the best solution for a project.

Following the design and mock-up stage, full manufacturing drawings are produced, agreed and signed off. The “buildability” factor of SAS products is hugely important in the project process.

SAS International is renowned globally for the ability to design and manufacture some of the most impressive, modern and ambitious architectural metal solutions.

Combining the latest in design technology with state-of-the-art manufacturing, SAS International remains at the forefront of product innovation and development, helping to meet the aspirations of our clients at every stage from design to installation.

Drawings
Through the use of both two and three dimensional software, we are able to produce detailed design drawings to suit our client’s needs. A combination of these is usually produced at the design proposal stage. However, full 3D visualisations can also be commissioned where required. These drawings can be helpful at the proposal stage, particularly for large projects.

Working with the latest versions of CAD, Inventor and 3D visualisation software our design and technical department ensures accurate and professional drawings are produced every time.

As a design-led manufacturer, innovation and invention is core to our business. The development of ground-breaking product solutions positions us as a world leader in architectural metalwork design.

SAS International’s UK manufacturing facilities rank amongst the most modern and fully equipped in the world. Designed and built in accordance with stringent manufacturing processes, each facility is responsible for manufacturing the different products and systems we offer.

All our facilities undertake ongoing research and development, to maintain our position as a world leading manufacturer. With ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accreditations and complete control over production, we commit to reduce the cost of manufacturing whilst maintaining product quality, ensuring maximum value and minimizing our impact upon the environment.

Our factory in Maybole, Ayrshire, Scotland is responsible for the manufacture of Architectural Metalwork, Chilled Beams and the assembly of our Integrated Service Modules.

The facility has been specifically developed for the manufacture of specialist bespoke architectural metalwork, with capacity to handle the largest and most complex projects. With an in-depth knowledge in bespoke design, our technical team has the ability to manufacture a wide range of architectural metalwork including Column Casings, Bulkheads, Service Binnacles, Spandrel Panels, Curved Linear Grilles, Solar Shading, Reflectors and other associated metalwork.

Off‑site Prefabrication Supply
Where possible, SAS International will recommend the prefabrication of our products off‑site. The ability to prefabricate products and systems under factory-controlled conditions allows us to ensure better quality-control and compliance to tolerances and other performance criteria.

Reducing lead-times, improving quality and safer working are core drivers in the SAS International business. Prefabrication of products and services helps us to meet these aspirations and improve the delivery of our products.

Most processes are fully or semi-automated, with advanced computer design and manufacturing software used to improve material and production efficiencies, whilst also monitoring and ensuring quality control.

Where possible we endeavour to offer added value options to our clients and our off‑site assembly and prefabrication service certainly delivers this and many other benefits, including the ability to offer fixed production and delivery lead-times that provide more certainty in construction programmes and a reduction in site costs and storage.

Wherever possible we look to provide value engineering; through the design of products, manufacturing processes that reduce waste, providing durable products and solutions to maximising efficiencies and helping to support on-site installation.

Our involvement right from design stage means we can provide for ease of ‘buildability’ and installation in the fit-out process.

Most Architectural Metalwork products are prefabricated off-site and built to meet specific project lead times. This off-site build, in factory conditions, also helps to increase build certainty and quality, whilst reducing costs, storage and accidental damage on-site. We understand that on-site storage may be limited or expensive, and that the reduction of site waste levels is a key consideration for many clients.

Working closely to support the build team, we discuss with the client and design team their preferred route to on-site installation. Working direct with a main contractor we ensure the installation process is managed by an SAS Project Manager supported by our manufacturing team.

Where the design and performance of energy efficient Chilled Beams or Ceilings or Integrated Service Modules is required to meet stringent architectural, mechanical or electrical demands, SAS’s own project managers can co-ordinate project teams to ensure best of class installation.

Design, supply and install is fast becoming the popular option for project teams and clients. Construction programmes are demanding. Specifications and logistics are complex and the delivery of a quality fit-out, on time and on budget is essential on all projects.

By using one company who take ownership from the design stage and are answerable till handover to the end-user has significant benefits.
