Our buildings

Start with the work the building needs to support. Three questions will help narrow down the options.

What will you store or do inside? Palletised goods, bulk materials, agricultural machinery and equipment all call for different access and handling arrangements.

How will the space be used? Consider traffic, required clear height, level of enclosure and whether future expansion or relocation may be needed.

What can the ground support? Prepared ground, a concrete slab, asphalt and existing retaining walls require different checks and anchoring solutions.

Building type	Typical application
Clear span arch buildings	Unobstructed space for bulk handling, vehicles, storage and processing support.
Tension fabric buildings	Durable steel-framed covered space with a tensioned membrane.
Temporary warehouse buildings	Additional storage for seasonal demand, site works or a defined period.
Semi-permanent buildings	Longer-term covered space with scope for phased development.
Storage canopies and shelters	Weather protection where frequent, open access matters.

These terms describe different aspects of a building. A clear span arch structure may also be a tension fabric or semi-permanent building.

Not sure which building type fits? Tell us what you need to cover, where it will stand and which vehicles will use it. We will help you define the right configuration.

An open or partly enclosed shelter protects materials and machinery from precipitation while keeping handling areas accessible to vehicles. This can suit bulk storage, agricultural supplies and loading areas.

Gables, cladding and doors can be specified where more enclosure is needed. Any plan to enclose the building later should be considered during the initial design.
