Description

Wesbridge Construction’s team of experienced consultants and contractors were commissioned to construct another manufacturing plant to replace the plant that was unfortunately destroyed by fire. This 145,500 square foot home manufacturing facility required a different functional approach that was designed through many meaningful meetings with Triple M and their user groups together with the consultants and contractors. Consequently this new manufacturing plant was in production within 12 months.

Wesbridge Construction’s same team of architects, engineers, and contractors also constructed a new 10,000 square foot office building that will provide a modern and comfortable facility with flexibility and new technology. This new 2-story office building was ready for occupancy in 8 months and will support and complement the new manufacturing plant.

An experienced and well-balanced team of consultants and contractors are on time and budget to deliver this 26,000 sq.ft. facility within a one year period.
