Month: February 2018

AIA Continuing Education

Did you know studies show that 80% of New Year’s resolutions fail by February? At Architectural Fabrication, we aren’t just talking about our big goals for the year, we are taking action! If you had an opportunity to read our blog from December, you already know that 2018 is going to be BIG!

In Person “Lunch & Learn” Program

One of our focuses in 2017 was providing in person continuing education to our architect partners through our AIA approved “Lunch & Learn” program on Division 10 Exterior Sun Control. Those efforts will continue in 2018, and if you’d like to check availability to have Arch-Fab come to your office, email Kimberly Bradstreet.

You should know that we use the word “lunch” loosely. For your firm, that might mean “Breakfast & Learn” or “Sip & Learn”. We enjoy opportunities to be creative and offer flexibility in education that can be custom fitted for your firm.

Online Distance Learning Program

Our team has been hard at work preparing to launch our AIA approved online distance learning program. If you’re an architect that would rather have the flexibility of continuing education on your time frame, at your pace, then this our gift to you!

Who wouldn’t want the ability to pick up a HSW LU in the comfort of their home, in footed pajamas by the fire. Maybe you’d rather learn while soaking up the sun on a breezy day by the water. Whether you prefer to snuggle up to a mug of hot cocoa or pour a tall glass of sweet tea (the official drink of Texas, ya’ll!) while you learn, we’ve got you covered!

Get Started on our Online AIA Approved Course

If you’re ready to explore Division 10 Exterior Sun Control, here’s what you need to do! Go to our Architect Resources page and you’ll be prompted to provide some brief information before beginning the program so that we can issue your HSW credit.

Upon completion of the education, we will issue your credit through AIA and provide you with a certificate of completion.

It’s really that simple! Come learn with us!

Prefabrication=Love

Ah, February, the season of Valentine’s Day, love, passion, endless jewelry commercials, greeting cards, and busy florists.

At Arch-Fab, our passion is shade solutions and providing our clients with prefabricated canopies, awnings, and sunshades. We won’t be delivering any flowers or chocolates to your job sites this month. What we will be delivering are neatly finished, pre-fabricated products for your clients to enjoy long after the chocolate is gone and the flowers have wilted.

What does “prefabricated” mean, and how does it benefit you? Prefabricated means that the products are already made when they arrive to the job site. No matter what your role in the construction cycle, you can benefit from the advantages of using a prefabricated system on your project.

Our clients love Architectural Fabrication’s prefabricated canopies, awnings, and sunshades on their projects and here’s why you should, too:

Economically Friendly

Our in shop fabrication and coating allow for more accurate construction, more consistent finishes, and less waste. We control the process from the mill to the wall.

Wallet Friendly

We are committed to using components that eliminate the potential for rust. Designing around an aluminum system reduces costs for ongoing maintenance in repainting and power washing.

Safe & Friendly

Delivering prefabricated products to a job-site results in less time at the site, and less overall disruption. Fewer hours on a job-site can equate to less opportunities for accidents.

Working with Arch-Fab combines high quality, with a cost-effective and eco-friendly solution, made in the USA.
