About Avante International

A facade consultant is an independent specialist who designs, engineers and checks a building's external envelope. At Avante, that covers concept design, structural and thermal engineering, specifications and BOQ, tender evaluation, submittal reviews, factory audits, site testing and handover — protecting the architect's design and the owner's aspiration and investment.

New building or new facade: Avante Facades. Occupied building that needs a new envelope or upgrade: Facade Recladding. Existing facade that leaks, fogs or has loose parts: Facade Forensics. Heritage or historic building: Facade Preservation. Materials research and precision repair: Facade Restoration.

Avante International (Avante International LLC) serves as the global holding entity and parent brand for the group. As a holding entity without direct operations, it governs brand standards, technical methodologies, and strategic direction. All direct consulting operations, engineering deliverables, site inspections, and client engagements are conducted through licensed regional operating entities (including Avante Facade Consulting Pvt. Ltd. in India and South Asia) and our specialized practice divisions.

No. Avante International is an independent consulting group without direct manufacturing, fabrication or contracting operations. It has no commercial ties to contractors or suppliers, so its advice is given strictly in the owner's interest.

Continuity means shared standards, consistent judgment and lessons carried from one project to the next. Avante’s leadership have led the firm together since its early years, with an average of 25+ years of experience in the building envelope. Every project benefits from that accumulated knowledge.

Every studio uses shared resources, review procedures and documentation standards, and every project is overseen by a Director. Clients get the same rigour whichever studio or group company leads their project.

Avante International focuses on one discipline only: facades. Since 1997, our group companies have provided facade design, engineering, consulting and management across all building typologies, on 1,500+ projects in 20+ countries. Each practice exists to deepen that expertise rather than dilute it into a general consultancy offering.

Yes. Avante brings design, engineering, materials, testing, forensics, recladding, restoration and preservation under one roof. A facade can be conceived, engineered, specified, tendered, diagnosed and renewed by one group, with no gaps between specialists.

Each company concentrates on one stage of a facade’s life. Avante Facades focuses on new construction, including facade management if requested by the client, Facade Forensics diagnoses defects, Facade Recladding renews existing envelopes, and Facade Preservation protects heritage facades. Projects move between them seamlessly under the same leadership.

Avante works through project offices in Mumbai, Delhi, San Diego, New York, Istanbul and Seoul, supported by R&D centres in Pune and Bengaluru. It has delivered 1,500+ projects across North America, Europe, the Middle East, South, East and Southeast Asia, and Australasia.

For over 25 years, Avante International has combined international façade engineering expertise across the US, Europe, and Asia with local knowledge, attention to detail, and an understanding of regional codes, labour capabilities, technology, supply chains, and cost constraints delivering global standards tailored to local realities.
