Why Leading Developers and Architects Trust OLYMPIQUE
Façade access design is often postponed until construction — when options are limited, costs rise, and compliance issues surface.
OLYMPIQUE eliminates that risk by engaging at the schematic design phase, ensuring the façade access system is integrated, coordinated, and compliant from day one.
Our early involvement delivers measurable results:
- Fewer redesigns and RFIs — seamless integration with architectural and structural elements
- Lower construction costs — performance-based system design avoids rework and fabrication delays
- Guaranteed compliance — with OSHA, ASME, ANSI, CSA, and international façade access standards
- Streamlined approvals — detailed documentation for permitting and jurisdictional review
We bring the technical depth, regulatory knowledge, and practical field experience that keeps complex projects on track.
Expertise That Keeps Projects Moving
OLYMPIQUE’s engineers and consultants are recognized authorities in façade access compliance.
We bring decades of direct experience with OSHA, ASME A120.1, ANSI Z359, IWCA I-14, EN1808, and CAN/CSA standards — helping your design team stay ahead of regulatory and jurisdictional challenges in every market, from Los Angeles and New York to Chicago and Toronto.

FAQs
- When should façade access be designed on a new construction project?
- At schematic design. Early integration preserves architecture, reduces RFIs, and avoids costly change orders.
- Do you coordinate with structural and MEP teams?
- Yes. We coordinate anchors, davits, monorails/BMUs, power/water, and site interfaces across disciplines.
- Which jurisdictions do you cover?
- We work nationally, with deep experience in California, New York, Washington, and other authority-having-jurisdiction (AHJ) environments.
