Honey Extraction Shed Prepped for Concrete – Southgate Build
This honey extraction shed project in Southgate—just south of Durham between Holstein and Mount Forest—is now fully prepped for concrete. We’ve completed a full rough-in of ABS drainage, including a center trench drain, overflow catch basin, and hookups for a double stainless sink and full bathroom. This is part of a larger pole shed renovation and new addition, converting a simple farm outbuilding into a fully functional honey processing facility.
With the steel roof on and framing complete, the structure is now enclosed and ready for a concrete floor pour. This type of custom agricultural build—part renovation, part new construction—is what we specialize in at JCB & SONS: helping rural property owners upgrade sheds, workshops, and utility buildings with professional planning and long-term durability.
We have installed Typar, which will keep things dry while we pour the floor. It will also be a barrier between the new wall steel and the spray foam insulation we will be installing.
The extraction room, utility room, and bathroom all have received 1.5"
(R7.5) under the new cement floor to make a really energy efficient building. This will make the building easy to heat, and cost efficient.
The Sump Pail is acting as our catch basin, all the water from the centre gutter drain in the extraction room come to this pail in the utility room and than exit the building. The overflow in the drain has a 90 degree fitting on it to allow the water out but not allow any gasses back into the building.
We can't wait to pour the new floor for this project.
Pole Shed Framing & Roofing – Southgate Build Near Holstein
Framing is now complete on this Southgate pole shed addition, located between Mount Forest and Holstein—just south of Durham. We’ve installed the new roof steel, and cornice trims, tying everything cleanly into the existing structure. JCB & SONS served as the general contractor, managing layout, framing, and roofing to ensure the build was strong, straight, and ready for the next phase.
We had the new trusses custom made to match the existing roof perfectly.
We are really excited for you to see the new wall steel. We will be replacing all of it and changing the colour to really pop against the ivory trims and brown roof.
All the braces are installed on the new trusses to make a really incredibly strong roof system.
Honey Shed Addition in Southgate – Custom-Built for Extraction and Beekeeping
We kicked off a custom shed addition this fall for a beekeeper located between Holstein and Mount Forest, just south of Durham. The structure ties into an existing pole shed already on the property, originally built by the client’s grandfather and used over the years for storage and utility.
As general contractor and builder, we handled the full scope—from layout to framing—for this new-build garage-style shed. Designed with flexibility in mind, the addition will serve as a future honey extraction space but could also function as a workshop or storage shed. It’s a practical rural build that combines modern durability with an existing agricultural structure.
The new addition walls are all ready for trusses.
The new engineered trusses are installed and we have begun tying the sheathing into the original building.
