Protecting Aircraft with a Design That Adds Long-Term Value

For this client, designing an aircraft hangar that was not only a high-quality structural build but also sympathetic to the surrounding buildings on the property was a priority — along with ensuring the finished structure would add long-term value to the site.

Thoughtful Design and Precision Construction by R&F Warwick

R&F Steel Buildings Warwick worked closely with the client, carefully considering scale, colour selection, and integration with existing structures to deliver a fully tailored aircraft hangar that balances aviation-grade functionality with architectural harmony.

Spacious Aircraft Hangar with Purposeful, Site-Sensitive Design

The completed hangar delivers a high-clearance, steel portal frame structure designed for both strength and everyday functionality.

A standout feature is the custom on-site manufactured sliding doors, built to achieve a precise fit and smooth operation. Paired with a purpose-designed track system, this allows seamless entry and exit between the hangar and the concrete apron—critical for safe and efficient aircraft movement.

The wide-span design provides generous internal space, while the selected finishes ensure the building integrates seamlessly with surrounding structures, delivering both performance and long-term value.

Practical, End-to-End Build Delivery

• Concrete footings and slab
• Engineering and structural design and supply
• On-site fabrication of sliding doors for a precise fit
• Full construction and installation
• Supply of 23,000L rainwater tank

Note: Building approvals were managed directly by the client.

Efficient Build Completed Within

• Contract signed: March
• Kit delivered to site: June
• Concrete works completed: July
• Construction completed: Early August

From mobilisation to handover, the build phase was completed efficiently, with the team travelling approximately two hours from Warwick and staying locally throughout the project—supporting businesses within the Running Creek area.
