| 77 BUILDING Able Spaces of all the consenting and construction and landscaping phases to the point where the keys are handed over. “We either choose a home from our existing floor plans, or more often in these situations, we design a bespoke plan specific to their wishes and best suited to the site. Our standard plans are there to give clients some ideas to start their design decisions.” Covid has impacted the business with a backlog of builds due to all the lockdowns we’ve had and for those interested in owning an Able Spaces Ltd home, there’s the need to wait, so people are urged to get in the queue so they don’t have to wait too long. Homes are built in two ways, as Norma explains. With structurally insulated panels as the wall lining and external cladding, those are the basic builds. Then Able Spaces offers a Deluxe option: made out of steel framing, GIB lining and a variety of cladding options to choose from. Alongside homes and commercial workspaces built for purchase Able Spaces Ltd also has a lease fleet of basic units ranging from 10m2 to up to 72m2. Norma says that moving to the new facility will mean she can employ more people and double capacity but she wants to retain the small business feel where everyone feels valued. “I don’t want to become a massive enterprise. I want the people that we employ not to feel like a number. That’s equally important to me, as is the quality and care we deliver to our customers.” Manufacture & supply of EPS & PIR insulated panels Metalcraft Insulated Panels are leading manufacturers, importers and suppliers of fire retardant expanded polystyrene (EPS) and PIR insulated roof and wall panel.
