A&S Group Launches Facade IQ for Specialist Façade Investigation Services

A&S Group has announced the launch of Facade IQ, a specialist division dedicated to external wall façade investigations and the technical services that support Fire Risk Appraisals of External Walls (FRAEW) and EWS1 certification.

The launch comes at a time when building owners, managing agents, developers and housing providers continue to navigate increasingly complex building safety requirements and external wall assessment obligations.

Facade IQ has been established to provide clients with access to specialist façade investigation expertise, supporting the assessment of external wall systems through intrusive investigations, opening-up works, technical reporting and project coordination. The division will work closely with Fire Engineers, consultants and project teams to help deliver the information required to support FRAEW assessments and the wider building safety process.

The new division will be led by Henry Greensmith, an experienced façade investigation specialist who has worked across a broad range of residential and mixed-use developments throughout the UK.

Henry brings extensive experience in planning and delivering complex investigation programmes, helping clients gain a clearer understanding of their buildings while supporting informed decision-making and compliance with current guidance and legislation.


Sean Coldrick, Managing Director, said:


"The building safety landscape has changed significantly over recent years, creating a growing demand for specialist investigation services and trusted technical partners. Facade IQ has been created to meet that demand.

We have seen first-hand the challenges that building owners and property professionals face when navigating external wall assessments. By launching Facade IQ, we are strengthening our ability to support clients with the specialist expertise, technical knowledge and practical delivery capability required to progress projects efficiently and confidently.

Henry's experience and reputation within the sector make him the ideal person to lead this division, and we're excited about the value Facade IQ will bring to both our existing clients and the wider industry."

Facade IQ will support a wide range of stakeholders, including managing agents, freeholders, developers, housing associations, consultants and contractors, delivering commercially focused investigation services tailored to the requirements of each building.

The launch forms part of A&S Group's continued growth strategy and reinforces the company's commitment to providing specialist building safety, compliance and property services across the UK.
