WEBFORGE PHILIPPINES PLANT

Webforge, an Australian Steel Grating company, decided to put up a plant that would principally supply the local market. The project involves the construction of a 4,402 square meters building which is divided into the production area (3,914 square meters) and the two-storey air conditioned office space (592 square meters) on an 8,945 square meters lot.

The architectural design of the production building features a solid wall composed of louver blocks at the bottom portion, and glass; and roofing that allowed skylight. The louver blocks provide sufficient ventilation while the skylight and the glass walls provide natural lighting thus significantly lessening the need for electrical lighting power. The building’s construction covered a period of eight months (January 1997 – August 1997).

RNFA provided project management including total engineering and architectural design, as well as, construction management services. Working with a budget of $2.52M, RNFA was able to complete the project approximately $130,000 under budget.
