I pulled the cnuts to pieces picking out all the cockups and asked if they wanted to rough our stuff up so it didn’t stand out 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 27,089 Posted August 24, 2022 Report Share Posted August 24, 2022 Been some amount of work in this one, architect had a field day the twat! Pretty much every type of industrial roofing and cladding detail on one job, to finish off hand pressed wall panels with extruded, tapered aluminium reveals.... in orange! The silver infill panels below window are bespoke made aluminium casings, we had to design and draw for fabrication.... Architects don't have to fix it, only draw it!! decent size sports hall roof, with cranked eaves...God i hate that detail!.. got 2 weeks left to finish, its gonna run over.... oh well...lol 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks mate, been at it for over 25 years now... so I'm sick of looking at it and learning about it! Lol. Hell of a lot of detail in this one, my brother fitted the hand rolled and orange aluminium... we use a set of rollers and break press on site to make each sheet individually, its a long/tedious process, but looks really good...not many about our way that do it... My lad and my brothers daughter both laboured on this job, she is at Uni srudying medicine and he is going college in September to do A levels in sciences... hopefully they stay off the buildings!
