Going beyond
Fabric building companies that have invested in manufacturing facilities and experienced personnel have an inherent advantage in maintaining quality control. They also are more likely to communicate and interact as a cohesive team, using feedback not only to improve existing processes, but to continually innovate into new areas.
Rigid-frame fabric buildings are on the rise in new applications. PVC fabric is now a cladding option for complex structural designs that would have been difficult to conceive of just five years ago. Improvements in technology and methodology have opened more doors for tension fabric structures. The ability to handle more tasks internally—thereby elevating the quality control of every project—is making it possible to approach these new horizons successfully.
