Hi Natasha
You can also contact Lisa Balz I recently helped her with drawings for a container project. She will be able to help you with your request.

The thing is the insurance so you would need to ensure the insurance company will ensure the construction I would speak to them about it first if their is a construction issue

Thanks Gavin, our library contains a cantilever which many companies did not want to take the risk on, hopefully they will. Do you have the name of the company?

Hi Natasha we spent a lot of time developing container concepts and I have a fabricator with the required skill

Selwyn Griffith 0834400022

Pam 0833819177

They do architectural steel but I worked closely with them on the insulation and construction and finishes required, plus they are steel specialists as you do not always get perfect containers

Good morning, I am not sure if this is the right group to post this query into but its worth a shot. Does anyone know of any companies working with steel who have experience converting containers into that which can be used architecturally?

 

Thanks.

There are really numerous different so called "green" building alternatives around, and in my opinion, all of them have a place in our market. On doing research to enter the alternative building methodologies, I realized that the only one that caught my fancy was Light Steel Frame. The reason is that it has been proven in Aus , NZ, Middle East and Europe, in fact all over the world. In SA LSF has its own SABS code and that makes a big difference to me. Saying that, I use a few different systems and it works well.
