FunderMax India MD & CEO Prashanth Reddy enquiries about “The facade of a building contributes to its strength. The use of sustainable facades can encourage protecting the structure of buildings during severe heat as well as monsoon. A well-designed facade not only reduces the thermal bridges, condensation of water vapour, but also protects the building, and increases sustainability. During the summer season, it protects lots of energy by keeping the internal environment of buildings cool. One of the ways to prevent buildings from collapsing and damaging during monsoon season is to create sustainable facades to strengthen the structure.” 

He also mentioned why Hyderabad is their first choice, “In Hyderabad alone, we have executed 1,500 projects. The city is a big market for us. New metro terminals offer enormous opportunities both in terms of taking care of their interiors and exteriors. We are seeing significant activity from tier-3 and tier-4 towns of Telangana as well.”
