Butcher shop into a Wellness centre
Transforming a Butcher shop into a Chiropractic Clinic !!
Features of this project:
- Designed as simple as possible by us the people building it, taking into account the size of materials at all times reducing building waste considerably
- Economically sustainable: Working in collaboration with owners where they pay for labour and materials only, without the usual hidden profits & margins that bigger companies include in every single item, making transparency and honesty a safe environment for workers, which is reflected in the finished product and reduces the overall project cost significantly.
- Existing ceiling and floor tiles kept to reduce cost and general building waste.
- Transforming an old shop in stead of building a new one.
