Buildform-Part 1: FyreBOX Slab-Mount | Case Study

“Working with the Trafalgar team has been an excellent experience. Their technical team were always available and responsive. For all our upcoming projects, the FyreBOX will consistently be our selection as it streamlines our building operations.

The key benefit of the Slab-Mount is that it permitted us to set up the box and then run services prior to the construction of the walls. This was beneficial during a period when Hebel supply was lacking, which allowed us to maintain efficiency while keeping delays to the project schedule to a minimum.”

Challenge:

A challenge arose from a shortage of Hebel, a key construction material crucial for the project’s development. The scarcity of Hebel PowerPanels posed a significant threat, potentially causing delays and disruptions to the overall progress of the project. Inclusion of the FyreBOX Slab-Mount proved to be a game-changer, offering remarkable advantages that were not previously anticipated. Using the FyreBOX Slab- Mount allowed the project to circumvent the scarcity of Hebel PowerPanels by enabling the installation of services to proceed independently of the construction of walls. This breakthrough eliminated the need to wait for the walls to be constructed before commencing the installation of essential services such as plumbing, electrical wiring, and HVAC systems. By leveraging the FyreBOX Slab-Mount, the construction team could expedite the project timeline significantly.
