Production space that clears the floor.
Engineered fabric manufacturing and production buildings for Ontario industrial operators — sized to your process layout, built on a purpose-designed foundation and installed turnkey by one Ontario team.
No columns between the line and the shipping door.
Manufacturing floor space used to mean a long construction timeline before the first machine could be bolted down. A clear-span fabric building lets engineering, fabrication and site work run in parallel, so a production addition can be planned against a real deadline. The clear span means the layout follows your process instead of the process working around structural columns.
- →Foundation and slab designed and built in-house
- →Doors and openings sized to your material flow
- →Stamped engineering for any Ontario snow and wind zone
- →Membrane warranty terms confirmed in the issued documents
Clear-Span Production Floor
No interior columns — assembly lines, fabrication bays and material flow laid out without working around posts.
Crane-Ready Frame Options
Overhead bridge crane loads can be engineered into the frame and foundation when specified up front.
Daylight Through the Membrane
The translucent skin passes daylight into the production floor, reducing reliance on overhead fixtures during the day.
Ontario-Stamped Engineering
Every frame is stamped to the snow, wind and seismic loads of your specific site by a licensed Ontario engineer.
Process layout first. Dimensions second.
A production building is sized around how material and product actually move through it — not a stock width. These are the inputs we use before any dimension is quoted:
- →Target clear span and length for your production layout
- →Eave height, and whether an overhead crane needs to be accommodated
- →Equipment loads and floor point-loads that affect the slab design
- →Whether the building needs insulation and climate control
- →Loading and shipping door count and placement
- →Room planned for a future expansion bay, if growth is expected
Send those numbers and we will come back with a building size, a foundation approach and a preliminary budget range. Preliminary figures are for budgeting only — final pricing follows engineering, site conditions and the configuration you select.

Everything the floor has to carry, planned before the pour.
Heavy equipment, point loads and any overhead crane runway have to be designed into the slab, not added after the building is up. We design the foundation — slab-on-grade with thickened edges where loads concentrate — as one system with the frame, then pour it and build on it with our own crews so steel goes up on cured concrete without a scheduling gap.
- →Slab and column footings sized to your equipment loads
- →Crane runway and column spacing engineered together when specified
- →Insulation and climate-control packages available where required
- →One contract from excavation through membrane tensioning
Growth is easier to plan for than to retrofit. Where an additional bay is likely down the line, we lay out the first phase so an end-wall expansion doesn't box in the second.
Crane loads
Specified at design stage so the runway, columns and foundation are sized together.
Expansion
Modular bay layout keeps a future addition realistic rather than a rebuild.
What we walk through before drawings start.
Site drainage
How stormwater and process wash-down are directed off the pad and away from the building envelope.
Truck and material access
Turning radius for delivery trucks, staging area for incoming material and outbound shipping.
Foundation type
Slab-on-grade with thickened edges under heavy equipment, columns and crane runways where applicable.
Approvals
Permit drawings for your municipality and any site-plan or zoning conditions tied to an industrial addition.
Truck access, staging and drainage matter as much as the building shell once a production line is running inside it. We plan them with the building rather than after it's up.
Different processes, the same space pressure.
Manufacturers expanding production
Additional floor space added on a schedule that matches a production-line deadline, not a multi-year build.
Fabrication and metalworking shops
Clear-span bays sized for material handling, welding cells and finishing lines without column interference.
Assembly and light industrial operators
Daylit, climate-controllable space for assembly, packaging and quality-control stations.
Parts and equipment finishing operations
Crane-ready bays for moving heavy sub-assemblies through the finishing process.
