Portland Aluminium & Glass combined office and manufacturing building

Project overview

Portland Aluminium & Glass contacted their local commercial builder Bolden Constructions to design and construct their new office and manufacturing premises in Warrnambool, VIC. Bolden Constructions approached us with a brief to design a precast double-story office and manufacturing building featuring an architectural façade and box guttering.

The manufacturing area would feature a full-length gantry crane, thus requiring specific engineering and design to support the crane. The mezzanine would extend into the manufacturing space, allowing for a material storage area.

Challenges and solutions

During the design phase, our drafting team pioneered a new design for the building’s façade including a ladder awning. This required close attention to ensure the design was value-engineered and easy to install.

Overall, this project was straightforward and there were no unforeseen challenges to contend with. 

“Having worked with Central Steel Build on a previous project, we had no hesitation in using them as our preferred construction team on this build. Throughout the whole project, Central Steel Build provided professional and reliable service every step of the way. The team delivered the project end-to-end, demonstrating a determination to deliver our client’s new manufacturing shed and office space at the highest standard. The finished product speaks for itself. I would have no hesitation recommending Central Steel Build and look forward to working with them again in the future.”
