Challenges and solutions
The location for the house had a significant slope that needed to be leveled before construction could begin. Careful consideration went into getting the levels right for posts and stumps for the building.
Our client had the unique idea of having a large space under the main floor for a carport. We custom engineered and designed the shed house to accommodate this idea.
