Out and Up – Essendon Football Club – The Hanger – Glazed Skylight
The team at Alclad Architectural was engaged on this amazing project to work along with the Façade Engineer (Inhabit) & Builder to deliver the total Glazing & Louvre / sunshade Package which included fully engineered glazed roofs over the grand Atruim.
With 95% of the team supporting the Mighty Dons this project was extra special and heart-warming to every member!
What the head contractor had to say…
“In the initial engagement with Alclad, the architect design had a lot of reviews and changes and the advice from Alclad was excellent. Throughout the design development process, we appreciated Alclad’s advice and their willingness to help and co-ordinate multiple changes.
The team throughout the completion of the project were very efficient, knowledgeable and easy to get along with. They had the right attitude, asked questions and offered solutions which we believe is key to a successful finish.
The finish was exceptional – 10/10 and is why I would use Alclad again. I wanted to build something I was proud of and I am very proud of this project! The windows was the main part and the success of the finish was a result of the hard work in the design development stage.”
