Warrant submitted, and we're ready to get moving. 🏗️
Great to see SJM Design For Function get the building warrant submitted for this commercial project — additional storage via a mezzanine floor, with two enclosed 60-minute fire-resistant escape stair cores designed in to meet full fire safety compliance.
Once approved, we'll be on-site ready to bring the design to life — combining careful planning with the practical build skills to get it done properly. 💪
Great collaborative project in the pipeline — watch this space for updates as it progresses. 👀

ANOTHER PROJECT WARRANT SUBMITTED
We’ve just completed and submitted a building warrant for our client’s commercial project. The client required additional storage space within their existing warehouse, and this meant exploring how best to utilise the mezzanine floor while remaining fully compliant with all relevant regulations.
This project involved strict fire safety requirements. Due to the size of the mezzanine and the nature of the building use, the design had to incorporate two enclosed 60 minute fire resistant escape stair cores. These protected stairs are mandatory to ensure a safe means of escape and to provide all occupants with a fully protected zone during evacuation. With limited layout options available, the final design carefully integrated both stair cores while maintaining workable circulation and maximising usable storage space.
These are exactly the types of projects we enjoy at SJM. When regulatory constraints limit design freedom, thoughtful planning and technical understanding become essential. Our final solution worked within the warehouse footprint, met all compliance requirements, and delivered the increased storage capacity the client needed, all while achieving their intended vision for the space.
If you’re planning changes to a home or business property and need professional support, we’re here to help from first ideas through to construction. Let us help bring your vision to life.
