Overview

What the project involved

Ispahani Agro Ltd required a continuous steel canopy delivered under our standard measurement-to-handover process.

The finished structure was inspected against its approved drawings before handover.

The hard part

Every entry on the left is a constraint that could have stopped the programme. Every entry on the right is the decision that removed it.

Ventilation and roof pitch
An agro-based shed lives or dies on ventilation — roof pitch, ridge venting and eave height have to be right for the specific livestock or process, not generic.
A wash-down environment
Farm and mill buildings are cleaned and disinfected regularly, which the structural coating and detailing need to tolerate over years of use.
Rural site access
Sites are often outside Dhaka's core industrial belt, which affects delivery logistics and erection crew scheduling more than the engineering itself.

Roof pitch and venting sized to the operation
Ridge height, pitch and open-sided bay spacing are set around the specific livestock density or process, not copied from a generic shed design.
Coating specified for wash-down duty
Cladding and frame coating are specified for a regular wash-down and agricultural environment rather than a standard dry-shed finish.
Delivery sequenced around site access
Frame sections and cladding are sequenced for delivery to match what the site access actually allows, keeping the erection crew supplied without on-site storage congestion.

Programme

Measurement through to handover, run as one continuous process rather than a chain of separate contracts.

Measurement
Site visit
Site dimensions, ground conditions and the client's usage brief recorded on site.
Engineering & calculation
Within 24 hours
Structural design, load calculation and firm quotation returned against BNBC requirements.
Fabrication & erection
Fabrication to site
Frame, purlin and cladding fabricated to drawing, delivered and bolted together on site.
Final inspection & handover
Project close-out
Structure checked against approved drawings, snags closed out, and the building signed over.
