Big Dutchman Building includes a 2D and 3D model of the building with particular attention on the factors needed to secure the relevant permits for the animal production building. This enables farmers to more easily secure the necessary permits for the buildings.

Using PUR and PIR sandwich panels along with an attic structure filled with specialised glass wool, Big Dutchman Buildings are fire retardant, sealed for hygiene purposes and can be cleaned in just 2 hours.

This means layer hens, broiler chickens and pigs are kept safely in hygienic ideal climate conditions, which reduces the stress on the animals, improves animal productivity and increases feed conversion.
