Industrial

Recent years have seen the development of an industrial landscape with a focus on larger regional distribution hubs, smaller local trade counter units as well as specialist manufacturing facilities. Our team has an understanding of this wider context as well as an appreciation of local characteristics to ensure that our technical advice is aligned with our clients’ business objectives.

Our commercial teams are experienced at leading a full spectrum of professional and project services covering single warehouses as well as industrial estates, manufacturing facilities and distribution centres. Allied to our building surveyors and structural engineers are specialist mechanical and electrical engineers, civil and structural engineers and sustainability consultants who enable us to advise fully on acquisitions, planned maintenance and dilapidations matters.

In terms of project management and architecture, we regularly lead the design of industrial buildings. Our talented team assist clients to stave off obsolescence through the effective refurbishment and alteration of existing buildings as well as providing exciting solutions for new builds units and future hubs. We able to advise on procurement routes that can be adapted to suit the proposals in any given situation to ensure that the works are undertaken in an efficient and timely manner.

We have experience ranging from Victorian warehouses and post-war sheds through to modern new builds and as such are cognisant of the range and variety of construction forms and defects associated with each. This includes a crucial appreciation of deleterious materials as well as the environmental risks associated with this class of property assets. We have provided advice on a number of projects to sub-divide larger warehouses into smaller trade-counter units and overcome the obstacles of fire compartmentation and utility supplies.

The first principle is for us to understand the business needs of our landlord and occupier clients so that we can tailor our services appropriately. We have the requisite knowledge and expertise to add value to any acquisition, reconstruction, refurbishment, as well as the ongoing maintenance and occupation of industrial buildings.
