Challenges and solutions
We liaised with Kerfab through the design process to ensure practicality and external aesthetics were achieved. Furthermore, we ensured that all elements of the building were value-engineered to deliver an economical and durable result.
“The new building has all gone together well. We would admit we had a few issues with the build process and the final finish on some of the office, but these have all been rectified and I cannot fault the shed.”
