Wood End Warehouse Construction FAQs

Answers to common questions about planning and building a warehouse in Wood End and the wider Hertfordshire area with Building Group

Working With Building Group in Wood End

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

  • Review any existing plans, surveys or specifications for your Wood End or Hertfordshire 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 Wood End 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 Hertfordshire
  • 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 Wood End 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.

Cost, Timescales & Quality in Hertfordshire

How much does it cost to build a warehouse?

Costs depend on size, specification and ground conditions. As a guide, basic storage warehouses often start from around £45–£55 per sq ft, with higher-spec logistics and temperature-controlled facilities increasing from there. After an initial discussion and site visit in Wood End we provide a detailed, fixed-price quotation wherever possible.

How long will my warehouse project take?

As a rough guide for typical Hertfordshire warehouse builds:

  • 10,000–20,000 sq ft: around 4–6 months from breaking ground
  • 20,000–50,000 sq ft: around 6–9 months
  • 50,000+ sq ft: 9–15 months depending on complexity

We’ll give you a project-specific programme and keep you updated throughout the build in and around Wood End.

How do you make sure my project stays on budget?

We focus heavily on cost control and transparency for every Wood End warehouse project. That includes:

  • Clear, itemised quotations with defined inclusions and exclusions
  • Early value-engineering to avoid expensive detail later
  • Regular cost reports during the build
  • Change control procedures for any client variations

Are you insured and experienced with warehouse projects?

Yes. Building Group is fully insured and CITB registered, with over 20 years’ experience delivering warehouses, industrial units, logistics facilities and commercial buildings across Hertfordshire.
