The Firmo Construction team stepped into Ultrafast's plans for expansion to execute its million-dollar improvement as efficiently as possible. The expansion included: adding a second floor of 7,000 square feet to the existing Ultrafast warehouse, doubling its spatial capacity; creating an addition consistent with the building's current appearance; and enhancing the insulation to ensure a temperature-controlled work environment. Firmo's partnership with Ultrafast Systems on its expansion took a total of 5 months and helped mobilize the company for its rapid development within half a year.
