Simple internet guide to planning and building a warehouse

Constructashed.com is the industry’s first web-based warehouse planning guide, offering a wealth of information and tips to any company considering building or extending a warehouse or distribution centre. The site provides guidance on every aspect from locating and acquiring a distribution property to the most suitable construction materials, fire protection and storage techniques.

The site represents the combined knowledge and expertise of ten leading companies who have worked together successfully on a wide range of projects, from simple extensions to some of the largest distribution centres in the country.  Their experience of working together provides the added assurance of proven, on site teamwork.  

Each member has contributed specialist expertise to the site - from property acquisition and financing to construction materials and techniques, including steelwork, wall and roof cladding, mechanical and engineering services, industrial flooring and the use of pre-cast concrete, as well as topics such as doors and loading bay design. Once inside the structure occupiers will need to consider issues such as fire protection and smoke control, lighting, ventilation, risk management and of course racking, shelving and storage structures.
