VMAC INVENTORY STORAGE FACILITY

Inventory Storage Building

Summit Steel Buildings was hired to manufacture and supply a 5,600 square foot metal facility for VMAC’s Nanaimo, B.C. location. It is the second building they have ordered to be constructed through our company. The pre-engineered metal structure rests upon a solid concrete foundation and the building is insulated with a waterproof lining for durability against the location’s wet conditions.
