façade1ˢᵗ
A Construction Revolution
façade1ˢᵗ redefines how buildings are built.
By installing the façade at the very start of construction, the system eliminates scaffolding, shortens build times, and delivers safer, cleaner, and higher-quality outcomes on every project.
Developed and patented by Preston Australia, façade1ˢᵗ replaces outdated sequencing with a fully engineered, factory-finished façade module — installed before internal structure or fit-out works commence.
The Concept
Traditional construction builds the façade last — relying on scaffolding, screens, and risky perimeter access.
Façade1ˢᵗ flips that process.
Each level’s façade is installed first, using prefinished, load-bearing volumetric modules that form both the weatherproof perimeter and working platform.
Trades then work safely from the inside out, with permanent edge protection and no external access systems.
Key Benefits
No scaffolding or screens — significant cost and time savings
Accelerated program — façade complete as each level rises
Factory precision — fully finished modules for superior quality control
Improved safety — permanent perimeter protection from day one
Reduced waste and site labour — fewer materials, faster installation
Cleaner, quieter sites — minimal edge protection and no external cladding works
Designed for the Future
façade1ˢᵗ aligns with Australia’s shift toward prefabrication, safety innovation, and sustainable construction.
The system integrates seamlessly with high-rise residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects, offering developers a proven alternative to traditional scaffold-dependent construction.
Invented and Patented by Preston Australia
Since 1969, Preston Australia has led the industry with breakthrough systems that transform how buildings are delivered — including the Spidernet Screens, Preston Folding Scaffold, SuperDeck, SuperBarrier, SuperAccess and now Façade1ˢᵗ.
Each invention shares one purpose: to make construction faster, safer, and smarter.
