Black Mount workshop

Project overview

After an electrical fire burnt down an existing workshop, the father and son run agri-business contacted us to design and construct a new agricultural workshop. The building needed to be designed as a space to maintain, clean and repair trucks. A wash bay, working areas, multiple hoists and storage areas were required.

Challenges and solutions

We worked closely with our client to ensure the shed design was fit for purpose, having enough space for all working areas. This included adding a cantilevered canopy for truck wash bays which also allowed for enlarged hoist space.

Being located next to an underground fuel tank, we needed to design the workshop footprint around the tank whilst ensuring maximised functionality and a clean external finish.
