About RMR Facades
RMR Facades was established in 2014 and has built a reputation for technical excellence in building envelope systems across the UK.
​
The leadership team brings decades of construction sector experience. Technical Director Ray Read has over 40 years in structural engineering and facade design. His background ensures projects are properly specified from the outset, with buildability and compliance integrated into every design.
​
Managing Director Matthew Read oversees strategic development and operational delivery. With formal business management qualifications and direct industry experience, he's led the company through sustained growth while maintaining service standards.
​
In 2021, the business completed a comprehensive strategic review. This resulted in a structured five-year growth plan focusing on service expansion, technical capability, and geographic reach. The plan has driven recruitment of specialist teams across design, project management, and site operations.
​
The company maintains investment in staff development. Regular training ensures teams stay current with evolving building regulations, particularly around fire safety and Building Safety Act compliance. It's an industry that changes fast. Keeping ahead of those changes matters.
​
RMR Facades operates on a straightforward principle. Understand the client's requirements, design solutions that work, deliver them on time and to specification. From initial feasibility through to practical completion, the focus stays on technical quality and professional delivery.
​
Every project gets the same approach. Detailed planning, clear communication, and experienced teams.
That's how complex facade installations get done properly.
Our Process
RMR Facades provides end-to-end project delivery from feasibility through to completion.
​
The service includes initial technical consultation, design development, procurement, installation, and handover. Our in-house design team works directly with project managers and site teams. This integration means fewer coordination issues and tighter control over quality and programme.
​
Project management operates from site level. Senior staff are based on-site throughout construction phases, not remote. When technical queries arise or site conditions change, decisions get made quickly. Direct oversight matters on complex facade installations.
​
Headquartered in Norwich with active projects across London, Bristol, Glasgow, and throughout the UK.
Site presence, design capability, and direct management. That's the operational model.
Advice prior to construction
Every project starts with feasibility assessment.
​
Our technical team evaluates site conditions, material specifications, design requirements, and budget parameters before work begins.
This upfront analysis identifies potential issues early - access constraints, structural limitations, regulatory compliance requirements.
​
Early engagement means better design outcomes. We can advise on material selection, installation methodology, and programme sequencing while changes are still cost-neutral. Once you're on site, variations get expensive.
​
The feasibility stage establishes whether a project is viable as specified, what modifications might improve delivery, and what the realistic cost and timeline look like. It's due diligence that saves problems later.
Project Management
Project management maintains control over programme and budget throughout delivery.
​
Senior project managers are site-based, not office-based.
They oversee daily operations, coordinate subcontractors,
manage material logistics, and resolve technical queries as they arise. Direct site presence means issues get identified and addressed before they impact timescales.
​
Regular reporting tracks progress against programme milestones and cost forecasts. Clients receive clear visibility on project status, upcoming activities, and any variances requiring attention.
​
The approach is straightforward. Define the scope properly, sequence the work logically, manage the critical path, and maintain quality standards throughout. That's how facade projects get delivered on time and within budget.
In-house design
With our in-house design capabilities, we have full control over the entire project from start to finish, allowing us to deliver bespoke results that meet your specific requirements. When you choose to work with us at RMR Facades Ltd, you can be confident that our team will work closely with you, ensuring that your vision is brought to life with precision and creativity. We believe in a seamless and cohesive design experience, from start to finish.
Planning
We provide a full planning service for each project which includes detailed initial plans, method statements and risk assessments. This ensures the project is structured to follow a clear path from the outset. To ensure seamless execution, we appoint a dedicated contracts manager who will oversee and skilfully coordinate between the client, design team, and site teams.
