This American company has developed a dozen or more large box stores in Australia, and more are planned.
I notice from visiting a couple in Australia that they use open web steel joists, like the US commodity item, for roof framing. Are these joists imported or fabricated here?
The company has also recently developed a warehouse in Auckland, soon to open. But from photos, this one is more the Australasian style of structure.
Anybody familiar with the construction and how the buildings work laterally?
