Do not start by choosing the cladding colour alone; the measurements, the entrances, the existing elements and the method of access to the site all enter the review of the work before it is carried out.<\/p>\n<h3>Before renovating the facade<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Photograph the current condition and identify the elements to be kept.<\/li>\n<li>Separate the cladding from the sign, the letters and the lighting in the scope of the quote.<\/li>\n<li>Coordinate the design before approving manufacture.<\/li>\n<li>FACO reviews the project facade to determine the preparation and installation work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How do you prepare an existing facade for cladding and letter renovation?<\/h3>\n<p>Start with a file for the site, not only with a facade photo you liked. Attach wide photos and others of the details, and state the city, the nature of the business, the entrances and the current sign. The <a href=\"https:\/\/faco.sa\/en\/our-servies\/company-facade-designs-using-3d\/\">facade cladding installation<\/a> service explains how the cladding scope is tied to preparing the facade and the signs according to the project.<\/p>\n<p>A reference image is useful for explaining the visual direction, but it does not tell the installer the condition of the surface or what must be removed or kept. These differences need a review before the idea is turned into a quote.<\/p>\n<h3>Keep three possible scopes separate<\/h3>\n<p>A limited renovation suits a limited request, but it does not automatically include treating every element on the site. An integrated scope needs a statement that separates the required work.<\/p>\n<p>Review the description of the materials, the finish, the removal, preparation and fixing work, and whether the sign, the <a href=\"https:\/\/faco.sa\/en\/our-servies\/3d-sculpted-letters\/\">illuminated 3D letters<\/a> and the lighting are included. Compare the items, not the price per area alone. And to compare letter materials and lighting direction, see <a href=\"https:\/\/faco.sa\/en\/choose-letter-material-and-lighting\/\">How do you choose letter material and lighting direction for your facade?<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ask for the responsibilities for coordination, and any wiring the project needs, to be set out in writing, not in a verbal promise.<\/p>\n<h3>Use a documented project without copying it<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/faco.sa\/en\/aljrais-cladding-signage-project\/\">Aljrais company facade development<\/a> documents the condition of the building before the work, then the installation of the cladding and the letters and the lighting review. The sequence of photos helps you order your questions, not apply a material, a size or a duration to your facade.<\/p>\n<p>Ask the installer: which part is similar to my site? And what needs a different condition?<\/p>\n<h3>Frequently asked questions before renovating the facade<\/h3>\n<p>Can the cladding be renewed while keeping the sign? The possibility of keeping it is reviewed with the condition of the sign, the facade design and the fixing method. Make the request clear from the start.<\/p>\n<p>Does the cladding include illuminated letters? They are included if they are stated in the quote. Keep the specifications of the cladding, the sign, the letters and the lighting separate.<\/p>\n<p>Is the approximate area enough for a final price? It is useful for an initial review only; the details of the work are approved after the necessary review.<\/p>\n<p>Must the entire old facade be removed? It is not decided from a general description; the existing elements and what you want to keep are reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>How do I determine the duration of the renovation? Ask for a duration tied to the scope of work, approval of the design and the readiness of the site.<\/p>\n<p>Does FACO serve Qassim? Qassim is one of the confirmed service areas, alongside Riyadh and regions of the Kingdom. Send the city without assuming that a branch exists.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you send to start the review?<\/h3>\n<p>Photos of the current situation, approximate measurements, the city, the type of business and the elements that will stay, with the logo if available, and make clear whether you want the cladding alone or the facade with the sign, the letters and the lighting. Send them through <a href=\"https:\/\/faco.sa\/en\/contact-us\/\">contact with FACO<\/a>.
