This build was very challenging due to the ground conditions been very poor and the fall of the land it was built on, along with the client that must remain running constantly 24/7 during the build process. The building was built between two existing units which both has different floor height. Within the new building which was 4,600 sq. ft was a new storage and racking area, new welfare area and new production area, this area included hygienic walls, walk on ceiling and a new Ucrete floor with concrete plinth upstands.

Overall, the project was challenging but we managed to meet all expectation set out within the pre-construction meeting with the client.
