Inbox Group custom printed cardboard boxes company located in Corio
Project overview
Approached directly by the owner was looking to develop a cutting-edge manufacturing facility for custom cardboard boxes.
Our brief called for a double-story office with 30 percent glazing across the front. We had to incorporate a slab design that accommodated a waste drain for large printers. And we were able to give the office façade a "classy presence" without breaking the bank.

Challenges and solutions
Our well considered design overcame some tricky details to construct the large external bulkheads on the offices whilst staying within the budget. We had to consider very specific slab details to accommodate internal waste drains, ensuring the foundations were adequate, whilst considering the soil conditions from the report.
Adding in a last-minute lean-to off the side of the warehouse to accommodate some noisy printing machinery.
We also introduced the client to our associates, MKM Constructions, entrusting their expertise to project manage the development.
