NZ Dairy Autumn 2023

98 | nzdairy DAIRY SERVICES » Fabish & Jackson Ltd A very unique rotary shed design Fabish & Jackson has always aimed to make clients’ lives easy by offering a total solution from its facility in Inglewood. Karen Phelps Having been in the game for around 40 years Fabish & Jackson has established a trusted reputation, particularly with the rural community which favours a hassle-free, up-front approach, says company owner Steve Fabish. “People know we deliver a high quality product,” he says. The company’s focus on quality can be seen in its unique rotary shed design called Oct ‘a’ Lock. Steve says it’s an extremely functional, high quality, cost effective dairy parlour that fits economically around rotary milking plant. The design has been built all over New Zealand and even overseas. He says that a rotary platform dairy shed can cut down on labour in the milking shed and significantly free up farmers’ time for other things. A key benefit with the Oct ‘a’ Lock design is that it can be modified to fit any site with additional rooms added onto the structure as required depending on the farmer’s needs, says Steve. Other benefits include easy cleaning with no hard corners, a smaller building footprint than conventional buildings for a given turntable size and the use of glulam timber in the roof structure meaning nowhere for birds to sit. It’s an example of how Fabish & Jackson has thought of everything that farmers want and need in a shed, says Steve. Fabish & Jackson has always aimed to make clients’ lives easy by offering a total solution from its purpose built facility in Inglewood where items such as glulam beams, precast concrete panels and steelwork can be built. Fabish & Jackson undertakes all engineering in-house. The company can manufacture laminated beams to any size and length, for both domestic and commercial use and all beams are manufactured to AS/NZ Standard 1328:1998. Completing most work in-house also results in better quality control and faster project timelines due to being not so weather dependent as well as less hassle for the client, says Steve. The company can build all types of cowsheds, iron and fibreglass and precast concrete commercial chicken sheds, maize and silage bunkers and feed pads. Fabish & Jackson also undertakes residential home builds, renovations and maintenance, mainly for existing clients, as well as commercial builds. Fabish & Jackson has been members of the Taranaki Registered Master Builders Association since 1982 and can offer the Master Build guarantee. Fabish & Jackson also builds large and small concrete projects which can include wall panels, fences, paving stones, soak hole lids, maize feed troughs, outdoor fireplaces and tables, pipe supports and driveways, paths, yards and flooring. Steve was one of Fabish & Jackson’s original founders and is now the sole owner of the company. He employs a talented team of around 15 staff and credits them with being the backbone of the successful business. Rural work is the largest part of the company’s business and Steve says its experience and longevity in working for farmers means it has become the go-to company in the Taranaki region.
