Case Study Four

Conversion of portal frame storage shed to light industrial use

Project Description

This process involved applying for some European Funding assistance as well as negotiating the best terms for the remaining funding between the Landlord and the End User.

Before & After

Project Solution

A fully functioning butchery handling clean carcasses in temperature controlled conditions (fridge and freezer) for the wholesale and retail markets established from open storage shed.

Space for up to 5 butchers created and with adjoining office space for the admin support and marketing sides of the business.
