Core skills
:
Our core skill lies in working out the design based on the design concept/ brief. The photos below illustrate this. The picture on the left is the rendered image of the building and the picture on the right is as built.

Notes
: This was achieved due to accurate depiction of the Architectural drawings & the fact that we did the concrete set out drawing with the Architect to suit our glazing requirements & then got the builder to cast the slab to our drawings. We know this may sound a non standard activity, but it works!
