Common Questions

What types of warehouses does Building Group construct?

Building Group constructs all types of warehouses including distribution centres, logistics facilities, cold storage warehouses, manufacturing warehouses, e-commerce fulfilment centres, self-storage facilities, and multi-temperature warehouses. We handle projects from 5,000 to 500,000+ square feet.

Can you build while our existing warehouse remains operational?

Yes. We regularly deliver phased schemes alongside live operations. This can include constructing new units on the same site, extending existing warehouses, or reconfiguring yards and loading while maintaining safe access routes, segregation and agreed working hours.

Do you help with planning, highways and drainage approvals?

Yes. We work with planning consultants and engineers to support planning applications, Section 278 and 38 agreements, drainage strategies, SuDS design and flood risk requirements. We also coordinate with statutory undertakers for utilities diversions and upgrades.

Can you work on a design & build or traditional contract basis?

We deliver both design & build and traditional projects. Many clients prefer design & build so we can take single‑point responsibility for design coordination, value engineering and buildability, but we are equally happy to work from a full consultant design team.

What information do you need to provide a warehouse quote?

Initially we can work from outline floor areas, target clear height, site address, basic layout sketches and any known planning constraints. If available, site surveys, ground investigation reports and existing services information will help us provide a more accurate budget or fixed‑price quotation.

How long does warehouse construction typically take?

Timelines depend on complexity. Small warehouses (10k-20k sq ft) typically take 4-6 months. Medium (20k-50k sq ft) take 6-9 months. Large distribution centres can take 9-18 months. We use fast-track steel erection to minimize delays.

What is the cost per square foot?

Costs typically range from £45-£85 per square foot. Shell-only builds start around £45/sq ft, while specialized cold storage or automated facilities can exceed £85/sq ft. Contact us for a precise detailed quote.
