Facade Design Sessions

See your facade before you specify it.

Book a guided design session to visualise real brick options on a building and make confident material decisions earlier, powered by SpecView by Taylor Maxwell.

What it is

A better way to choose brick.

Our facade design sessions allow you to explore how different bricks work across a full building, not just as samples. With access to over 200 brick options, we help you compare, refine and validate your facade design in a practical, collaborative session.

About SpecView by Taylor Maxwell

SpecView by Taylor Maxwell is our in-house visualisation technology, designed to support facade design decision at the earliest stages of a project.

Used exclusively within our guided facade design sessions, SpecView allows you to explore how different brick options perform across full building elevations, not just individual samples.

By combining real project visuals with access to over 200 brick options, it helps architect compare materials, test design intent and move forward with greater confidence.

Unlike standalone visualiser tools, SpecView is always delivered alongside expert guidance from our brick specialists, ensuring every decision is practical, buildable and aligned with your project requirements.

Bring clarity to your material choices early in the design process

Bring along your project, whether it’s an early concept or a scheme in development, and we’ll explore suitable brick options together using SpecView by Taylor Maxwell. Compare finishes side by side, review alternatives in real time and leave with a clear direction for your facade.

Designed for architects working across a wide variety of project types, this session is particularly valuable at the early design stages (RIBA 2–4), where material decisions have the greatest influence on design intent, performance and cost.

Sessions are available at our UK locations, or we can visit your office. Each consultation is free of charge and typically takes 45–60 minutes, giving you focused time to review options and refine your approach.
