Mock-Up, Samples & Prototyping

From Concept to Tangible Validation

Alu Group offers mock-up fabrication, material samples, and full-scale prototyping to support design development, client approvals, and performance testing. These deliverables provide stakeholders with a physical representation of system aesthetics, functionality, and integration — bridging the gap between design intent and real-world execution.

Scope of Services

Material & Finish Samples

Production of coated aluminum, anodized profiles, glass types, hardware, and composite panel swatches — tailored to project specifications and submittal requirements.

Partial & Full-Scale Mock-Ups

Fabrication of custom assemblies, including corners, joints, or interface conditions — either for visual inspection or on-site evaluation.

Performance Testing Mock-Ups

Development of fully operational façade mock-ups suitable for laboratory or field testing, including air/water infiltration, structural loading, and thermal cycling.

Prototype Assembly Reviews

Pre-construction prototypes assembled at the production facility or project site to validate sequencing, tolerances, anchorage logic, and installation strategy.

Standard & Methodology

01

All mock-ups are fabricated using actual production methods, materials, and profiles intended for final delivery.

02

When applicable, testing is coordinated in partnership with certified laboratories or witnessed by third-party consultants.

Benefits

Enhances stakeholder confidence by demonstrating system quality and visual accuracy.

Identifies potential interface challenges before fabrication begins.

Supports faster approval cycles and more accurate site coordination.

Tangible Proof of Performance

Alu Group’s mock-up and prototyping services ensure that architectural ambition is matched with technical reality. By providing physical validation early in the process, project teams gain the certainty required to move forward with confidence — both aesthetically and structurally.
