54 Bale Rotary Milking Shed

This is a example of how a strong collaborative approach to design can achieve successful design on a tight schedule.

The client had a clear idea of what he wanted for his rotary milking shed and needed the design work completed quickly to allow time for building consent processing and for construction to commence within just a few months. To make this happen, we worked closely with the client, structural engineer, and builder throughout the design process to make sure all design details were carefully resolved early in the process and that the builder was happy about the construction methodology. This ensured there were no surprises or unforeseeable design changes required during the construction phase; it also meant the client got a bespoke milking shed that functioned just how they wanted it.
