Non-Habitable projects are those items that are not dwelling types. Examples can be furniture, bus shelters, statues, signage through to industrial items such as appliances, components and fittings, automotive components, equipment eg. lawn mowers, public transportation.
One of the largest categories is furniture which can include cabinets, racking, lockers, tables and chairs for offices, retail and exhibitions. These are all items that are not attached to a building and so not covered by the residential or commercial categories. To help in this process we utilise:
