What sets us apart
Most shop drawing providers take your scope and start drawing. We don't. Before producing a single line, our team reviews the full document set — architectural, structural, specifications, and schedules — to catch every conflict before it becomes your problem.

About SAR Facades Design
We built SAR around one idea: facade coordination should be thorough, fast, and stress-free for the contractor. 300+ projects later, that's still how we operate — every package delivered complete, compliant, and on schedule.
Our story

Full-coordination protocol formalized

How we work
From day one, our team coordinates every detail of your facade package — architectural, structural, specs, and permits — so your drawings are approval-ready when you need them. No waiting, no back-and-forth, no surprises at submittal.
"We don't just deliver drawings — we deliver certainty. Every package goes out coordinated, compliant, and on schedule."
