Challenges

The Client wanted full size brick slips on façade, without any cuts, meaning it wasn’t possible to build to our increments. We needed to cut everything to the exact mm’ specified. One example is we had measurements such as 1367mm ( for a wall) and we had to respect this measurement which proved more difficult and demanding than usual but we were very capable of achieving these requirements.
