Canadian Equipment Rentals in Jarvis, Ontario, is a supplier of rental tools and equipment for the construction industry.  In 1999 they determined that they needed to increase the area of their facility.  A planning and feasibility study was undertaken by Baker and Elmes Architects* to determine the appropriate design and budget for the expansion.  Detailed architectural and engineering construction documents were then provided.

The expansion consisted of a 4500 square foot warehouse addition and a 6500 square foot showroom and office addition. The warehouse addition was a pre-engineered building.  The showroom office addition was a simple box, clad in aluminum.
