What types of industrial units does Building Group construct?

Building Group constructs various industrial units including single factory units, multi-unit industrial estates, manufacturing facilities, light industrial units, trade counter units, business parks, and mixed-use industrial developments. We build units from 1,000 to 50,000+ square feet.

How long does industrial unit construction take?

Industrial unit construction timelines vary by size and complexity. Single units (2,000-5,000 sq ft) typically take 3-4 months. Multi-unit developments (5-10 units) require 6-9 months. Large industrial estates can take 12-18 months. We provide detailed schedules during consultation.

Do you build speculatively or to tenant requirements?

Building Group provides both speculative industrial unit development and bespoke build-to-suit solutions. We work with investors on spec developments and directly with end-users to create customized industrial units tailored to specific operational requirements.

Industrial unit construction costs typically range from £55-£95 per square foot. Basic shell units start around £55/sq ft, standard units with offices £65-£80/sq ft, and specialized manufacturing units can exceed £95/sq ft. Costs depend on specifications, location, and site conditions.
