Food & cold chain: questions
Who designs the refrigeration?
A licensed refrigeration contractor designs, installs and commissions the plant. We build the building and coordinate the interfaces: slab, penetrations, plant platforms and power.
Tell us what the building has to do.
Send the lot address, the rough size and what the building is for. We check the zoning and approval pathway, suggest the structure that suits and come back with a budget range.
Monday to Friday, 8 am to 5 pm (AEST). Brisbane office visits by appointment.
