Working With Building Group in Cross-in-Hand

How does the warehouse construction process work from first contact?

Once you email us your drawings, outline brief or even just an idea of what you need for your warehouse in Cross-in-Hand, we’ll arrange a call to clarify your requirements. From there we normally:

  • Review any existing plans, surveys or specifications for your Cross-in-Hand or East Sussex site
  • Arrange a site visit to understand access, ground conditions and constraints
  • Develop or refine layout and specification with you
  • Provide a detailed, itemised quotation and programme
  • Agree the contract, start date and key milestones
  • Deliver the build through to handover and defects period

Do I need full planning permission before speaking to you?

No. We’re happy to talk at any stage. Some clients in Cross-in-Hand come to us with outline ideas, others with full planning approval and technical drawings. We can:

  • Advise what information is needed for a planning application in East Sussex

Can you help if I only have rough sketches or a basic concept?

Yes. Many warehouse projects around Cross-in-Hand start with simple sketches and a list of operational needs. We can help turn this into a practical layout and specification, then work with your design team (or ours) to progress into full construction drawings.
