Architectural Support: How Tekta Simplifies Complex Door Specifications

When it comes to designing controlled environments, the details matter and one small oversight can cause major complications down the line. From fire ratings to ironmongery, door specifications can quickly become a complex puzzle. That’s where Tekta steps in, providing expert architectural support to streamline the process and ensure every project runs smoothly from concept to completion.

Expert Support at Every Stage

Tekta’s specification team partners with architects throughout the entire project lifecycle, from initial design and specification to compliance and procurement. Our approach ensures that possible issues are identified early in the process rather than at the costly construction stage. By reviewing door schedules, checking specifications, and providing practical advice, Tekta helps prevent errors such as incorrect door sizing or mismatched fire ratings before they become expensive site problems.

Why Architects Choose Tekta

Tekta’s support goes far beyond basic consultancy, we offer a blend of reputation, speed, and expertise that makes us a trusted partner for architects across a range of industries.

  • Reputation: Tekta’s thorough specification review identifies potential issues early, safeguarding project integrity.

  • Speed: Their efficient process reduces the risk of delays during construction.

  • Expertise: Tekta’s team leverages years of industry experience to create or verify ironmongery sets, using only high-quality, market-leading products.

A Step-by-Step Collaborative Process

The process begins when the architect completes a Stage 3 or 4 design and sends conceptual door information to Tekta. From there, Tekta conducts a detailed review for accuracy and consistency, helping to write clear, compliant specifications. They can also assist with drawings, Revit families, and detailed ironmongery schedules to support Stage 4 design. To round it out, Tekta provides quick costings and value engineering options to ensure the project stays within budget.

Tekta’s portfolio covers every aspect of architectural support, including:

  • Specification support and briefs
