THe ERIE AP PROCESS

We understand the needs of our partners and translated into a tailored customer experience from initial design assistance through production and build support.

About Out Process

At Erie AP, we see every project as a journey, and our Service Wheel reflects the way we guide it from vision to reality.

From design to delivery, we manage every step of the building envelope process. We collaborate early with architects and contractors, develop precise shop drawings, source top-quality materials, validate them through mockups, and fabricate systems under strict quality control. With careful delivery and installation support, we ensure your façade is not just a set of parts but a reliable, integrated solution built to perform for decades.
