Warehouse & Industrial Refurbishment Contractors

What is a Warehouse Fit Out and Refurbishment?

A warehouse fit out is improvements made to the commercial interiors. To us, this encompasses everything from design to installation. Our primary goal is to upgrade your warehouse into a successful workplace that’s equipped to meet the demands of today’s fast-paced industrial environment.

Typical Warehouse & Industrial Project Types

Why Insulation Matters More in Warehouse Buildings

Warehouse buildings typically have far larger ceiling areas than a standard office, meaning heat loss through an uninsulated or poorly insulated ceiling can have a proportionally bigger impact on energy costs. Where a warehouse ceiling is being replaced or refurbished, adding insulation at the same time is usually a modest addition to project cost against the potential ongoing energy saving.

Working Around Live Warehouse Operations

Refurbishment in an operational warehouse needs to work around goods movement, racking and health and safety zoning that doesn’t apply in a typical office. We can plan installation sequencing, access and any required area isolation around your operational schedule – just get in touch with our team for more information.

• What key things should I consider for my warehouse fit out?
  To ensure the speed and efficiency of your project, there are a few things to consider:

  • Storage Requirements – Assess your specific storage needs and inventory requirements. Think about factors such as the type and size of your stored property, frequency of access needed and any future growth projections.

  • Warehouse Layout – Evaluate the layout of your warehouse space and your team’s work patterns to maximise accessibility and streamline productions.

  • Warehouse Safety – Prioritise safety by identifying the necessary features you need to implement to protect your people and your property.
  • Technology – Don’t overlook technology and automation solutions. These can be key to further support your operations and improve productivity.

  If you need any help determining these factors, we’re here to offer advice. Our specialists have years of experience and can evaluate your space to deliver impactful solutions.
• What types of storage solutions are available?
  There are many different storage solutions available to meet different requirements and types of stock. The common options we install in warehouses include:

  • Pallet Racking – Vertical storage systems that are suitable for storing palletised goods of various sizes and weights.
  • Shelving Systems – A system suitable for smaller items. Shelves can be adjusted to accommodate changing inventory needs.
  • Mezzanine Flooring – Used to maximise existing space, mezzanine floors are used for bulk storage or creating office space in the warehouse.

  For help determining which storage system is best for your warehouse, get in touch with our team.
• Can ceiling works be carried out while the warehouse stays operational?
  In most cases, yes. Depending on the project, we can sequence work around your operational areas and can phase installation to avoid disrupting goods movement or active zones. Please get in touch for more information.
• Is ceiling insulation worth adding to a warehouse refurbishment?
  Given the scale of most warehouse ceiling areas, insulation is usually a cost-effective addition when a ceiling is already being replaced. This will, however, vary depending on specific project requirements.
• Do you handle office and breakout areas within a warehouse, not just the main floor?
  Yes – many warehouse projects involve refurbishing the office, breakout or reception areas within the unit alongside or instead of the main warehouse floor.
