Challenges and solutions
The location of this project being on the coast posed a high risk of corrosion. To overcome this challenge, our hot dipped galvanised frame offering superior protection and upgraded Colorbond cladding were utilised. We liaised with the client to offer the most practical and aesthetically pleasing design, allowing the upstairs living area to overlook the sea and the storage area access to face towards the water.
To overcome instability found in the sandy Geotech soil conditions of the building site, our team paid close attention to the foundation and slab.
