Hole’s and our architect and structural engineer met on November 3rd and 4th with representatives from Thermoflor (based out of Holland) and Prins Greenhouses (out of Abbottsford B.C.).
Over the course of our meetings, design choices were carefully weighed, costs were discussed and an ambitious schedule was presented. Flexibility, compatibility and energy savings were the days’ buzzwords. Each member of the group left with a list of tasks ranging from new quotes to reflect design changes to complex drawings. It’s full speed ahead—on paper at least.
