About Iain Gray
Iain Gray is a Chartered member of the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Society of Façade Engineering (SFE), with almost 20 years’ experience within the UK façade industry working as a façade consultant, principal technical lead, and for leading specialist sub-contractors and manufacturers.
His expertise covers all major areas of engineering a façade from the various standards, guidance documents, and best industry practices available to the market. With extensive knowledge of the fundamental technical engineering of the various elements that comprise a modern building envelope, Iain’s expertise includes structural, thermal & weather performance as well as fire engineering principles, covering a range of facade systems including unitised & stick curtain wall, stone/metal/cementitious rainscreens, structural glazing & roofing elements such as standing seam. His experience also extends beyond the theoretical to the real world, with experience in the various forms of physical testing required to verify weather performance and construction methods.
Currently working at BB7, Iain is launching a new Façade Consultancy arm that will look to bring these two typically separate industries together whilst also providing more support to the construction sector as it faces “the challenge of our time”. Iain is also a strong supporter of sustainability and circular practices, co-chairing the BB7 Environmental working group as part of the ESG team across both fire and façade engineering disciplines and supporting BB7’s achievement of BCorp in 2025.
