The following pages have been designed to make it
quick and easy to select and create your complete
wall solution. Simply choose our specially designed
and tested Engineered System that best suits your
project and finish with your preferred façade option
from our wide selection.
ENGINEERED SYSTEM
The BENCHMARK Engineered System has been designed
to display a large range of metallic and non-metallic façade
options. BENCHMARK Karrier and BENCHMARK façade
sub-constructions utilise the same advanced insulated panel
technology that delivers a high performance envelope, and at
the same time eliminating complexities in design and build.
Once installed the building is fully weather tight, allowing the
internal fit-out to commence and removing the façade from
the critical path.
Manufactured under quality systems certified to EN ISO
9001: 2008 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001: 2004
(Environmental Management), these systems are available with
a single point guarantee, transferable to the building owner.
The above systems can be installed on to a timber, concrete or
steel framework.

3-STEP SYSTEM
1.
Simply choose the Engineered System that best suits your
project and finish with your preferred façade option from our
wide selection. Three steps to our total wall solution.
3.
1. Choose a façade from our wide range of options
• Metallics - Zinc, Stainless Steel, Corten, Copper, ACM, Aluminium
• and Non-Metallics - Ceramic Granite, Ceramic Tile, Fibre Cement, HPL, Coloured Glass, Timber
2. Choose the right subconstruction for your façade
3. Choose appropriate loadbearing karrier panel for
your façade:
• Advanced insulated metal panel technology. These panels have been specially designed, manufactured, tested and approved as a load bearing element (PIR available MF in pipeline)

BUILD SPEED
The loadbearing Karrier Panel as a single component system
increases speed of build, minimizes delays and the need for
multiple trades.
• Faster close-in and dry-in for reduced building costs.
• The single component system results in less labour time on-
site and construction waste.
• Reduces delays in construction experienced with scheduling multiple trades.
• Increase in build speed allows faster project completion and reduces business disruption.
