Engaging IBC Consultants early during the design phase offers an architect significant added value. By obtaining advice on facades and roofs, technical sustainability, material choices, and detailing can be directly aligned with the design. This saves costly investments in later phases and minimizes failure costs.

Additionally, early consultation contributes to an optimal balance between aesthetics, sustainability, and building physics performance, such as insulation, watertightness, and fire safety. The result is a more efficient design process, higher construction quality, and a more feasible plan.
