Working With Building Group in Tollymore

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 Tollymore, we’ll arrange a call to clarify your requirements. From there we normally:

• Review any existing plans, surveys or specifications for your Tollymore or Newry, Mourne and Down 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 Tollymore 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 Newry, Mourne and Down
• Introduce architects and planning consultants we regularly work with on local warehouse projects
• Value-engineer designs before they’re submitted, to avoid cost issues later

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

Yes. Many warehouse projects around Tollymore 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.
