Food Storage Warehouse Parry Sound, ON Grassmere has supplied and installed the 22,000 sf pre-engineered Butler building to be used for food
FedEx





The Challenge:
Grimsby, ON
With a tight schedule and during a very cold winter, Grassmere was contracted to provide a cost-effective solution for a building that included wide-span bays.
A further challenge was to ensure that the building adhered to Supplementary Standard SB-10, Ontario’s enhanced energy efficiency requirements of the Ontario Building Code.
The customer was a contractor/developer that was awarded a build-to-lease contract from FedEx. They subsequently sought competitive sub-trade tenders for a supply-and-erect package for a pre-engineered building.
The Grassmere Solution:
During the negotiation process we were able to sell the “Butler Difference.” The customer recognized Butler as a premium product and, consequently, was willing to pay a slightly higher price than our competitors. Fortunately, we were able to self-perform the work through our “sister” erection company, KDM Erectors.
We utilized BRII Wall Cladding on the exterior walls and the MR24™ standing seam roof system. An exclusive feature of this project is the wide-span bays that utilize 42- and 48-foot-long truss purlins under the canopy overhang and above the loading dock doors, which run the entire length of the front end wall.
The Result:
Grassmere met all time frames, while keeping the job site safe for all personnel.
In addition, we were able to provide a pre-engineered Butler building package at a competitive price, despite a firm schedule and in the midst of a frigid winter.
