A powerful result

Background:

The existing building & the current space within wasn’t able to cater for the company’s future expansion plans.
The void above the ceiling level was interrupted by a series of steel fink trusses which made space unusable.

Brief:

The brief was to create office space to a new first-floor level, with the remaining part having double-height space to facilitate storage of materials.

Work carried out:

The principle contractor stripped back the existing roof & prepared the substructure ready for our arrival.
Raised eaves and gable panels were used to the perimeter walls to lift the roofline. This saved time on site & eliminated the need for wet trades to build up to the required wall level. Read the full case study >>
