Our customer David contacted us in need of a handover bay installed at KIA Chesterfield. David wanted to create a memorable (and dry) experience for his customers when collecting their new vehicle. David wanted the canopy to be tucked into an alcove and the frame colour to match the cladding. As we have worked with David many times in the past, he was confident in our ability to deliver something that would tick all of the boxes in terms of quality, practicality and aesthetics.
We sent Gary, our surveyor out to David at KIA Chesterfield to take some measurements and talk to him about the different solutions and styles that we have to offer. Furthermore, we used our high tech scanning equipment to scan the desired area. From these scans, our designers are able to design and create a perfect solution that would fit the area perfectly. A 3D visual in form of a video is then sent to our customer. These designs are great for showing how well the canopy will fit the space and how the aesthetics of the canopy will complement the area.
On site, David expressed his concern about having a post in the way as he still wanted to use the parking space to the right of the canopy. As all of our canopies are fully bespoke and made to measure, this was no issue for us. We were able to inset the post and add in a tidy gallows which keeps the post tucked back into the alcove. This configuration allows the roof to cantilever forward in line with the building. The beauty of what we do – custom engineering.
After The Survey:
David loved the 3D visual and accepted our final price, we engineered the canopy CAD drawings which David later signed off with a request for the structure to be powder-coated in RAL 7004 Signal Grey to complement the surroundings. Furthermore, David chose Clear polycarbonate for the handover bay canopy, keeping it light, airy and contemporary.
Once the canopy had been manufactured, a suitable installation date/time was arranged so that we could start the installation when convenient for David/KIA. It was evident after the installation that our customer was over-joyed with the quality and finish of his Kappion hand over bay canopy as well as the professionalism of our installation team.
