TTL Supply & Cabot Shipping
(Burnside Industrial Park - Dartmouth, Nova Scotia)

From its location on Burbridge Avenue, the curb appeal of the 21,000 sq. ft. TTL Supply facility makes a case for going the extra mile in exterior design. Lindsay worked with Harvey Architecture to add visual interest using curved front entry panels, dramatic vertical moldings, and lots of glass to compliment the exterior finish of the Tilt-Up panels.

"We liked the twist to the entry design," says Jamie Weatherhead, General Manager. "We had a great relationship with Lindsay. They were easy to deal with and we are happy with the final product."

Just next door at Cabot Shipping, Lindsay worked closely with Lydon Lynch Architects to design a facade and interior customized to fulfill the client's desire for an appealing and functional facility.

The 18,000 sq. ft. office/showroom and warehouse space were constructed using energy efficient Tilt-Up sandwich panels, large windows, and open concept designed to flood the space with natural light.

Target Mazda (New Glasgow, Nova Scotia) Jeff Stone, Owner of Target Mazda in New Glasgow, was quick to recognize the value in Tilt-Up construction for their 8,200 sq. ft . 2-storey dealership. With this time saving building method, the job came in on time and on budget despite harsh winter weather. "I chose Lindsay as my building contractor because of their reputation for quality workmanship and ability to get the job done during some very bad winter conditions," comments Stone. "We were able to operate our business on-site and construct a new building at the same time." From the light-filled showroom with floor-to-ceiling glass to the 5-bay service area and mezzanine, the energy efficiency and durability of Tilt-Up is the hidden bonus behind a clean and modern look. "It was exactly what we wanted and Lindsay's Site Superintendent and Project Manager made it hapen," says Stone.
