The CEI Materials Process

At CEI Materials, we want to create open communication between the Architect, Building Owner, Contractor, Manufacturer, and the Fabricator. This is what sets us apart from other fabricators. CEI Materials works with everyone involved on all aspects of the project from the very beginning. This process, which includes Project Management, Design Assistance, and Fabrication is much more efficient and greatly increases any project’s success.

Design Assistance

Design Assistance

At CEI Materials design assistance is just a fraction of the value our Design Engineers bring to your project. They use the latest software, technology and insights to the fullest, but it's their in-depth knowledge of metals, fabrication, construction, and project management ensures they are best suited to get your architects, contractors and owners on the same page when it comes to your project's success.

Accuracy is critical when preparing a project estimation. That's why the estimators at CEI Materials are specially trained in the materials and process we use, local and international building codes, and our 3D laser technology. Our accuracy in estimating and forecasting means your resources can be planned and waste will be reduced.

Project Management

Project Management

When it comes to pulling all the pieces together for your architectural façade project you won’t do better than the project managers at CEI Materials. From reducing risk (schedule, scope, budget, and quality) to maximizing value through our experts in design, metals, fabrication, and installation our Project Management team will ensure your project needs are met.

Shop Drawing/Submittals

Shop Drawing/Submittals

The shop drawing process formalizes system details, layout and scope of work. The submittal process allows the Design Team to review the proposed materials and make sure they comply with the design intent and specifications

3D Laser Scanning

3D Laser Scanning

At CEI Materials, offer the latest in 3D Laser Scanning technology. This is a non-contact technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using a line of laser light. These scanners capture an object’s exact size and shape and create ‘point clouds’ of data which can then be imported into BIM software.

BIM Model Coordination

BIM Model Coordination

Our utilization of the most sophisticated software (AutoCAD®, Inventor® and Revit) allows us to seamlessly integrate 3D Laser scans with architectural renderings for the prompt execution and submission of shop and production drawings.

Fabrication Services

Fabrication Services

When it comes to the quality and performance of architectural design more architects specify CEI Materials to ensure their vision is brought to life with precision, strength, and the best metals and materials for long lasting beauty. Our specially trained team is current with building codes, trends, and software, and our cladding systems meet or exceed local and International Building Code standards. Together we can guarantee your complete satisfaction with our systems and fabrication services.

Delivery

Delivery

Job-site efficiency takes both organization and coordination from the fabrication to the shipment of panels, to allow for a seamless installation. The fabrication of cladding materials for an architectural project can be a challenging component of the process but more challenging is the assurance the fabricated panels arrive on site in the most optimal way for installation.
