Project description

This manufacturer of screw caps commissioned a brand new modern building, with a cosily designed interior and exterior. The façade features an arch element which distinguishes the building from the usual factory and storage facilities. The size of the building and the amount of machinery involved in the manufacturing process required complicated and durable architectural and structural solutions. The building contains steel, reinforced concrete, and wooden elements.

Technological challenges

Massive interconnected buildings have to be suitable both for enabling the manufacturing process and for storage. It is important to properly install the machinery, and the structure bearing its weight has to be sturdy and durable.

Benefits of our approach

  • For the customer: Close and good communication regarding questions with other parties; the ability to observe the product manufacturing process.
  • For the designers: Exact resource estimations; smaller chance of mistakes; comfortable work and communication process; easier implementation of solutions.
  • For the builders and manufacturers: Manufacturers and designers working together to develop the building model; reduced chance of mistakes during the construction process or manufacturing the production elements.
