Brocklehurst Detached Shop

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This shop in Brocklehurst was constructed on a raft slab, seamlessly integrating footings and slab into a single pour for unparalleled efficiency. By consolidating these elements, significant time was saved on excavation and forming, eliminating the need for separate footings, frost walls, and slab pours. Insulation was strategically placed underneath and around the sides to prepare for heating, ensuring optimal energy performance.”

“Utilizing a double stud framing technique, the structure’s energy efficiency was further enhanced. This method involved constructing a 2×6 thick wall with 2×4 studs alternated between the interior and exterior faces, effectively minimizing thermal bridging and heat transfer. The exterior was meticulously clad with Hardie plank and smart trim, with added rock details on the front corners for enhanced aesthetics, resulting in a stunning shop that significantly expanded the property’s usable space.”

“The thoughtful attention to insulation and energy efficiency measures not only contributed to the building’s beauty but also promises long-term cost savings on heating expenses. This meticulously crafted shop stands as a testament to our commitment to quality construction and sustainable practices, ensuring lasting comfort and value for years to come.
