We’re excited to share a quick update on our latest agricultural steel building project in Alfreton, Derbyshire. This new steel-framed building will serve as the perfect sheep barn and storage for farm equipment, giving our client peace of mind knowing that it will be a secure and safe space for both animals and valuables.
Project Progress So Far
We kicked off the project by carefully dismantling the existing stone wall of the old sheep pen to make way for a brand-new, purpose-built steel frame building. Groundworks were completed swiftly, setting a solid foundation for the installation of the steel structure. From there, we moved on to cladding, fitting doors, and ensuring the site remained well-kept throughout. The attention to detail is evident, from the sturdy steel frame to the clean, polished finish of the surrounding grass.
With just the drystone wall and concrete yard left to complete, we’re now in the final stages!
