Challenges
The factory had limited ground-floor storage, with equipment, vehicles and trailers competing for space. The unit was approximately 6.6 metres high, leaving valuable vertical space...
Solutions
FMF installed an approximately 8m × 5.3m mezzanine with stairs and a pallet gate. The new floor allowed equipment and materials to be stored overhead,...
Challenges
A vacant factory is a blank slate, and tenants rarely see the potential in an empty shed. The owner needed the building to work harder...
Solutions
FMF installed an approximately 16m × 4m mezzanine within the existing factory. It adds substantial floor space within the existing building and improves its suitability...
Challenges
Needed more spare parts storage within an existing live workshop; regional freight delays meant more stock had to be held on site; the second mezzanine...
Solutions
Delivered a second mezzanine for the site, covering 300m² of the existing workshop; included a 2.4m-high perimeter frame fence for added protection around the active...
Challenges
Needed one connected flow for clothing, from sorting on the ground floor to loading the processing machines; a workspace under the mezzanine that feels open...
Solutions
125m² heavy-duty steel mezzanine, with both levels put to work; stairs and handrails; pallet gate for forklift loading to the top level; walkways across to...
Challenges
Bar Fridges Australia needed to relocate quickly after their warehouse arrangements became unstable. Their new Ballarat facility gave them a large open footprint, but not...
Solutions
- Designed, engineered, fabricated and installed a 1,500m² mezzanine floor for the new warehouse
- Delivered the project under an accelerated programme spanning the Christmas /...
Challenges
- Create significant new floor area without choking the ground level—clear spans needed for pallet/skid movements and storage.
- Relocate a busy repair workshop upstairs with...
Solutions
- Mezzanine set-out sized to ~⅔ warehouse coverage, with approximately three-quarters of the deck wall-mounted to maximise clear space beneath.
- Load-rated deck engineered for workshop...
Challenges
Need for very high head-room to allow large vans to drive and park beneath the platform; uninterrupted service bays (one van per bay) with minimal...
Solutions
Mezzanine set-out to create clear-span service bays with posts pushed to bay lines to keep the vehicle footprint free; load-rated deck sized for racked inventory...
Challenges
Relocation to a larger site on a state-controlled arterial road (separate approval pathway beyond council); needed an office-over-production layout with a central staircase that would...
Solutions
Client-signed 3D model to lock scope, geometry, and interfaces pre-fabrication; custom outriggers (“fingers”) and stiffeners welded across primary members to wrap the curved façade, precisely...
Challenges
Tier-one compliance requirements exceeding standard commercial specs (NCC/BCA and client spec for handrail heights, post spacing, tread construction, and certified slip-resistant tactiles); architectural design files...
Solutions
Design-assist and value-engineering sprint: FMF translated architectural intent into a complete fabrication pack (materials, dimensions, interfaces) to meet spec without overbuilding; custom stair flight set...
Challenges
National road-transport refrigeration group moving into a new facility in a flood-prone area; needed high-capacity storage for heavy palletised spares; required a purpose-built spare parts...
Solutions
45 m × 6 m structural mezzanine for heavy palletised goods; enclosed under-croft with EPS/refrigeration panels to form a dedicated spare parts department; mini roller...
Challenges
Ran out of office space; needed operational staff closer to warehouse; required high-quality facilities matching main building.
Solutions
Built mezzanine office over existing toilet block; modernised facilities with lunchroom, kitchenette, TVs, power, fresh air delivery, and custom timber stairs with colourbond sheeting.
Challenges
Needed more space for spare parts storage to serve regional clients quickly; long freight delays from capital cities.
Solutions
First project: 180 m2 mezzanine for workshop parts. Second project (planned): 500 m2 mezzanine for expanded spare parts storage.
Challenges
Ran out of storage space; storing goods outside under tarps; heavy steel pallets required high load capacity.
Solutions
Engineered 1-tonne/m2 mezzanine with concrete foundations tied into existing office stairs; installed pallet gates and balustrades for safety.
Challenges
Space was tight at ground level, and the building had structural restrictions. Flood-zone compliance requirements added another layer.
Grevillea needed to expand without disrupting operations....
Solutions
FMF built a custom modular mezzanine that maximised space and integrated with the existing office and workflow. It was built in smaller sections to avoid...
Challenges
Limited height is the hardest constraint for a mezzanine. A standard floor structure takes a lot of depth, and every millimetre lost upstairs is lost...
Solutions
FMF engineered a slimmer, high-strength floor structure using closer, stronger joists. That delivered strength and extra usable height on both levels.
The new space includes...
Challenges
Relocating to a new factory; needed large, enclosed production office with clear sightlines; integration with heavy printing equipment.
Solutions
Built tall 400m2 mezzanine with glass walls, dual staircases, motorised pallet gates, hermetically sealed production space; coordinated with other trades for fit-out and load distribution.
Challenges
Ran out of storage space; integrating mezzanine install with arrival of new large-scale printing machine.
Solutions
Multiple mezzanines over time, plus large undercover area for container unloading; staged expansion plan.
Challenges
Raw 600 m2 factory; needed multi-use facility approved by council for critical hospital backup systems.
Solutions
Built two mezzanines (one two-storey), creating workshops, offices, breakout area, and racking; secured fast-track council approval.
Challenges
Most mezzanines are judged on strength and compliance. This one also had to look good.
The front edge needed to look intentional, not industrial. Stairs...
Solutions
FMF tied a compact mezzanine bay cleanly into the existing frame. An aluminium handrail and stair were positioned to keep circulation clear.
A custom black...
Challenges
Sirocco needed more room to display and store its range. But a showroom is not a warehouse. The extra space had to keep the customer...
Solutions
FMF designed the mezzanine to support both storage and showroom needs. Sirocco tiers its range: smaller items at ground level, and the mezzanine reserved for...
