Please describe the project specifications

This design-build project buy our company showcases a 4,205 Square feet commercial awning, fabricated with Herculite Products Inc Patio 500 in shade designer white. The 340-yard fabric installation presented a unique challenge due to its downtown location with limited access. The frame was constructed in a modular fashion, with each component, including individual sticks and materials for every rafter, prefabricated to precise dimensions. This was due to the restriction of not allowing any cutting or fabrication on-site, necessitating that all components be cut, fabricated, and painted off-site before installation. Our team utilized our 3D laser scanning tools and computer software to precisely fabricate every beam and rafter. The project's complexity was further amplified by the client's desire to minimize trusses, which we achieved through structural tubing. This resulted in a clean, sleek design that prevents bird nesting and filth accumulation. Additionally, the third-floor installation required a weather-tight seal while providing an unobstructed view of the marina and intercoastal. The project's curved frontage, featuring three different radii, along with the head at the wall also being at a different radius, presented multiple challenges, including precise angle calculations and weather-tight sealing. Despite these complexities, our team successfully delivered a stunning structure that exceeded the client's expectations.
