1 Trust. Innovation. Performance.

2 Steggles chose Santrev as the builder for our world-class breeder operation for a range of reasons. First, the sheds were good quality and the design was leading-edge, so they didn t need costly maintenance many years after construction was complete. Also, the team was resourceful and helped source well-priced equipment and material without compromising quality. Santrev had the resources to execute large projects and their price was competitive. Most importantly, they built the sheds on-time and within budget. Dr Steve McGoldrick Former State Manager, Steggles, Queensland. 02 SANTREV THE CHICKEN GROWERS CHOICE

7 YOUR INVESTMENT OUR REPUTATION YOUR SHED INVESTMENT IS LONG TERM. SO TOO IS OUR PARTNERSHIP. It starts from the first time we sit down with you to discuss your plans. As growers ourselves, we understand the underlying economics and operational requirements. We can draw upon the experience of building sheds for all processors including broiler, breeder, layer and free range for three generations. By listening to you and working with you, we ensure your shed is cost-effective and able to sustain high production performance for many years. It s just one way that our reputation safeguards your investment. Importantly, we don t disappear once the shed is built. Your security and peace of mind is enhanced by on-going after sales service and our long warrantees something we are comfortable offering because we have faith in our quality and workmanship. Using our high level of repeat business as a guide, we can see that our customers agree. They are a brilliant company to work with. They definitely have the personal touch they don t just take your money and run. They kept working with us long after the sheds were built and were always willing to talk about things.

9 QUALITY MATERIALS SANTREV MADE TO SANTREV QUALITY We have a very long-term life expectancy for our poultry houses. We expect they will work for you at peak performance year-in, year-out. The quality of the materials defines the longevity of your investment. This is just one reason why we over-engineer our sheds and use only heavy duty components. To fully be able to guarantee quality we had to invest in our own factory to fabricate components. Structural frames are produced in the Santrev owned and operated factory to Australian Standards. To ensure components meet our exacting requirements, we have all fabricated steel components independently tested in Australia for grade of steel, tolerances and weld integrity. Cool panels are tested by CSIRO scientists for fire rating, insulation and bond quality. We utilize a rigorous regime of checking and re-checking components against precise templates before a component is passed as fit and can leave the factory, regardless of where the factory is located. For overseas-supplied components, our Australian representative conducts spot-checks to ensure the full quality tracking process is maintained. This means that materials are fit for use when they arrive on site so we can build your sheds faster. SANTREV THE CHICKEN GROWERS CHOICE 09

10 QUALITY WORKMANSHIP Workmanship is everything. Our build crews are well trained and equipped with high quality tools to ensure they can do an outstanding job. Our crews are a balance of old-hand experience and young enthusiasm. Pride in the quality of our work is central to our company s culture and the whole team feels this pride most strongly. No one can match Santrev s powerful combination of quality in design, materials and workmanship. Our commitment to quality delivers two key benefits to our customers: the shortest possible build times to get your first batch of birds in sooner, and rock-solid warrantees to give you peace of mind that your shed investment will last for many years. 10 SANTREV THE CHICKEN GROWERS CHOICE

11 CONTINUING DEVELOPMENTS IN QUALITY Maintaining high quality standards is an ongoing endeavour. It takes training, tools, processes and systems. At Santrev, we adopt and implement Occupational Health and Safety practices specifically developed by safety experts for our construction projects. This helps us avoid work accidents and injury and allows us to do the job right the first time. SUSTAINABILITY Put simply, sustainability is all about taking account of both the energy and the resources required to operate a poultry house. This is just a new term for something we committed to at the outset: to design and build better poultry houses that achieve more while using less energy. SANTREV THE CHICKEN GROWERS CHOICE 11

15 Santrev gets 10 out of 10 for quality and for delivering on time. There are cheaper sheds out there, but sometimes when you think you are buying a cheaper shed, you are actually buying a more expensive shed because either it takes longer to build, or the quality is not there, so it ends up costing you more in the long run. I would highly recommend Santrev to anyone and I wouldn t look anywhere else. Steve Daysch Poultry Farm Owner/Manager, South Australia. SANTREV THE CHICKEN GROWERS CHOICE 15

16 BREEDER AUSTRALIA S LEADING PROCESSORS AND PREMIER BREEDING FACILITIES THE SANTREV DESIGNED AND BUILT PURGA BREEDER FACILITY BROKE THE MOULD FOR SPECIALISED BREEDER FARMS. The facility didn t just take performance to another level, it blasted it to another planet. When Steggles commissioned Santrev to take on the design and building of this large 17 shed complex, the brief was deceptively simple: deliver a world class facility. Central to achieving the brief was reducing the cost to produce a fertile egg. The Steggles Purga Breeder Facility broke the mould on many fronts. Never before had building 17 breeder sheds in three bio-secure farms on the one property been considered. Never before had each farm complex been designed from the outset to be fully self-contained with a single shower on/shower off point of entry, staff offices and amenities, egg collection, handling, fumigation and storage. Never before had the design concentrated so minutely on all operational aspects. The results stand alone. This facility has consistently been the most disease free, highest performing facility with the lowest cost of production in Australia. All this was achieved with Santrev delivering the entire project on time in eleven months and within budget. 16 SANTREV THE CHICKEN GROWERS CHOICE

18 LAYER AND FREE RANGE FREE RANGE: LAYERS WHEN KINROSS FARM, ONE OF AUSTRALIA S LEADING FRESH EGG PRODUCERS, NEEDED TO EXPAND THEIR FREE RANGE EGG PRODUCTION, THEY SOUGHT ADVICE FROM SANTREV. In a project that spans three years, Kinross will benefit from state-of-the-art free range layer sheds designed and built to exceed all free range criteria. Kinross Farm has a well-earned reputation for pampering their birds. The free range specification can impose some difficulties in shed design, inefficiencies in energy consumption and ultimately impact on bird production. Santrev optimised the design within the free range constraints by utilising tailored elements including a ramped wintergarden staging area, integrated computer controlled ridge ventilation system and enhanced insulation. The net result is a shed that is some two to three degrees cooler in the height of summer. 18 SANTREV THE CHICKEN GROWERS CHOICE

19 FREE RANGE: BROILERS THE MODERN POULTRY FARM CAN BE A WELL DESIGNED AND PROFESSIONALLY CONSTRUCTED AGRICULTURAL MASTERPIECE. CHICKEN GROWERS ARE NOW DIVERSIFYING THEIR POULTRY FARMS, CAPITALISING ON EVERY ANGLE OF THE MARKET. Free Range Chicken Barns, Organic Poultry Housing & Egg Layer Sheds are now a common sight on any successful poultry farm, thanks in part to the Santrev team s experience at delivering state-of-the-art facilities. Our sheds are not only good for the welfare and the wellbeing of the grower s chickens and help increase productivity and egg production, but a Santrev free range or organic designed shed is also good for the environment. With the growth in consumer demand for free range and organic chickens, many farmers turned to Santrev for profitable housing solutions. We have developed free range poultry sheds and organic chicken barns designed to give chickens the best possible environment for growth, ensuring your flocks are healthy and productive.
