Prove the façade before you procure.
Independent pre-procurement compliance proof on the specified window and façade systems, then an on-site audit of what’s actually supplied. Price the package with certainty, and keep non-compliance a redline — not a variation after it’s built.
The envelope risk lands on the build, not the supplier.
When the windows don’t perform, it’s the builder and developer wearing the callback, the rectification and the dispute. FHK+ed moves that risk to the front — proven before you commit, not discovered after handover.
An independent compliance report
Every specified system proven for Section J and F/H — independently, before you lock the package. Not the supplier’s own number.
Spec vs what’s supplied
Modelled at specification, then audited on site against what actually turns up — so the installed job matches what was proven.
Certainty before tender closes
Know the compliant package before the price is locked — and kill the late-stage value-engineering churn that erodes margin.
Not a variation
Catch non-compliance while it’s still a redline on a drawing — free to fix — instead of a variation, a delay or a dispute after it’s built.
What lands on your desk.
One register for the whole package: every specified system proven for Section J and condensation, and flagged the moment a substitution doesn’t stack up — while it’s still a redline.
| Specified system | Section J | Condensation | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| W1 — fixed light100-series, as specified | Pass | Pass | ✓ Compliant |
| W2 — sliding dooras specified | Pass | Pass | ✓ Compliant |
| W3 — awningas specified | Pass | Marginal | ⚠ Re-check glass |
| CW-1 — curtain wallas specified | Pass | Pass | ✓ Compliant |
| D1 — entry doorsubstituted at tender | Re-prove | — | ⚠ Substitution |
Illustrative register, client details redacted. Every FHK+ed engagement returns this — per system, proven to ISO 15099 by an engine validated against THERM. Final NCC compliance is determined by your assessor / certifier.
How it works
Front-load the compliance so the envelope is a known quantity, not a late surprise — usually under $5k.
Send the specified systems
The windows, doors and façade in the spec or tender — whatever’s been proposed for the project.
Spec inWe prove compliance
Independent modelling to ISO 15099 — Section J energy and condensation / Mould Index — on the actual systems, by an engine validated against THERM (222 results, 98.7% accuracy).
IndependentProcure with certainty
A compliant package you can price and lock, before the tender closes — with the evidence to back the spec.
PricedOn-site audit
We check what’s actually supplied against what was proven — audit-ready both ways, so the installed job holds up.
On siteNon-compliance stays a redline, not a variation.
The specified window is routinely swapped at tender or fabrication, and a rating on a catalogue product doesn’t follow the substitution. By the time it shows up — a failed certifier check, condensation in the first winter — it’s a variation, a delay, or worse. FHK+ed proves the real systems up front and audits what’s supplied, so the gap is caught while it’s still cheap to close. Independent proof, so it’s your evidence, not the supplier’s word.
“Having been ‘in the trenches’ with Dave from AFRC Lab, collaborating on analyses for a builder on a tight timeline, I have no hesitation in recommending his work. His output is timely, concise and accurate.”
A window that passes in one zone can fail in another.
This interactive study shows exactly that — eight sill systems on the same glass, across climate zones 2, 5 and 6, with the Mould Index read against the NCC limit. It’s why the compliant package has to be proven on your systems, in your zones, before you procure — not assumed from a rating.
Which window keeps the mould out?
Eight fixed-sill systems, one glass, three climate zones — modelled for Mould Index, minimum surface temperature and holistic comfort. Pick a zone, compare any two, and see which pass and which don’t.
