Please describe the project specifications

The Customer, National Co-operative Credit Uinon Mr. Curth Charles recently renovated the Credit in the capital City Roseau in Dominica
The customer then realized that her clients were being battered by rain and sun whilst waiting to receive service from the financial institution on the corners of two main Streets.

To protect the clients from the elements and to increase covers and sales, the client requested a fixed awning around the building main entrance & ATM areas The awnings also blended with other contents of the newly painted and aluminum cladding on the exterior walls.

The awning was made in twelve parts and bolted together to look like one continuous awning. The fabric used was chosen by the client and is Vanguard 2919 driftwood.

Challenges for this project was to assess the space between the cladding & mounting wall surface.
Measuring & making a miniature corner template for the pie then fabricate the awnings in St. Lucia.
Our technicians assemble & tested all the frames and covering (using awing rail to the back & tie bar to side and front), prior to packaging and shipping the awnings to Dominicia

The Client is extremely satisfied with our work and has the awnings has increased their customer ease of conducting business & satisfaction base since the installation of the awnings.
