Cadence is a studio for architectural materials. Windows and doors today, with a small set of building components in development — designed, specified, and produced inside a single accountable program.
Clients engage Cadence for an individual workstream or for the full program. Most begin with design and expand into manufacturing and install as the relationship matures.
We draw every product line to a single set of proportions, finishes, and hardware families, then deliver the documentation an architect or detailer can specify against without re-drawing.
Production runs are scheduled against the project, not a forecast. Quality oversight is on-floor at three checkpoints, with photographic reports inside the same business day as inspection.
Palletized to the project site, scheduled against the trade calendar, with an install reference per opening and a named program lead from order through punch list.
Each volume is designed, documented, and shipped before the next is announced. Surfaces and Hardware are open for pilot projects.
Fixed, tilt-and-turn, and casement systems in aluminium with triple-glazed assemblies as standard.
Sliding, lift-and-slide, and entry doors drawn from the same profile family as the window line.
Architectural panels and interior linings developed alongside the envelope system.
Pulls, hinges, and operators that share a finish family with the rest of the catalogue.
Most program failures originate in the handoffs between design, manufacturer, inspector, and freight. Cadence consolidates these functions under one team with unified reporting across all seven phases.
Project drawings, opening schedule, and target landed cost. We respond inside two business days with a structured plan, indicative configurations, and lead time.
A spec package is issued: configurations, glass package, finishes, hardware, and the CAD details a builder can issue with the drawings.
Where the project warrants it, a sample sash and corner section are produced for review before the production purchase order is released.
Production runs in scheduled batches with on-floor quality oversight at three defined checkpoints. Photographic evidence is shared the same day.
Pre-shipment inspection at agreed AQL thresholds. The same team that detailed the product signs off on the final unit before sealing the crate.
Palletized for the site, scheduled against the trade calendar. Documentation, install guidance, and delivery windows are sent ahead of arrival.
A named lead is available through punch list. Service requests against installed product are tracked under the original program reference.

Drawings, opening schedule, or a sketch is enough. We'll return a structured plan, available configurations, and lead time, with a named program lead accountable from brief through install.
