Industrial Structures

Industrial development in which the building is itself a piece of equipment. Its dimensions, load capacity, power infrastructure and vehicle access are set by the operation going into it, and getting them wrong cannot be corrected later.

Typical projects

  • Warehousing and distribution
  • Production facilities
  • Logistics centres
  • Cold storage
  • Workshops and light industrial
  • Industrial estates

What this means for an investor

Industrial buildings are cheap per square metre and unforgiving on specification. A clear height or a load capacity that does not match the operation makes the building unlettable to the very occupier it was built for, and changing either afterwards is close to rebuilding. We would rather spend the time establishing the operational requirement at the start than discover it at handover.

How we work

Built to the Operation

Dimensions, load capacity and door arrangement are set by the process and the equipment that will use the building.

SpansLoad capacityClear height

Access Designed for Vehicles

Vehicle access, turning space and loading arrangement are planned for the vehicles that will actually arrive, at the frequency they will arrive.

Power and Services Headroom

Supply capacity established early, including what an occupier's later expansion would require, since reinforcement is slow to obtain.

An industrial building that does not suit its process is an expensive shed.

Every field we work in follows the same path from land to handover.
