Design Assist
EEWS’s design Assist process hinges on communication and bringing the skill and experience of the owner, construction manager, architect, engineer, and consultants together early in development to find optimal solutions to complex problems.
Our highly experienced in-house team of engineers, Revit certified designers, and production specialists work to develop the details needed for the proper constructability of the system, all while we monitor the design evolution and provide budget and constructability feedback to the team. Our team acts as a single point of coordination ensuring the highest quality exterior wall systems.
Prefabrication
Prefabrication is the process of manufacturing the complex wall systems developed and engineered during design assist. They are produced in our controlled environment facility in Allentown — before they reach the construction site. Prefabrication offers major advantages compared to stick-built methods done onsite. EEWS delivers the benefits of prefabrication to each project it undertakes for optimum solutions and reliable efficient production.

Building Enclosure Speed
Prefabricated panel systems greatly speed up the building enclosure process. Off-site fabrication in a controlled environment allows for faster dry-in and earlier interior work. This reduces weather delays and shortens the overall schedule. It’s an ideal solution for projects with tight timelines or phased occupancy.
Coordinated Engineered Interfaces Solutions
Our system features fully coordinated, engineered interfaces for seamless integration of all enclosure components. Key details are resolved during design and fabrication, avoiding on-site conflicts. This approach minimizes field adjustments and ensures consistent quality. The result is a unified, high-performing building envelope from day one.
Logistics
Prefabricated enclosure systems streamline logistics by reducing the volume of material delivered to and stored on-site. With just-in-time delivery and panels arriving in sequence, site congestion, waste, and handling are minimized. This controlled flow of materials supports cleaner, safer job sites and simplifies coordination among trades. The result is a more efficient, organized construction process that aligns with modern lean building practices.
Thermal Performance
When design allows, increasing opaque wall areas with prefabricated systems can greatly improve thermal performance. Fewer unitized joints enhance energy efficiency and air-tightness. These systems also offer broad cladding flexibility, giving architects more design freedom. In this case, the prefabricated enclosure is over four times more energy efficient than a traditional glass curtain wall.
