What Types of Industrial Units Can Be Built?

Industrial units can be built for warehousing, light manufacturing, heavy industry, or mixed-use purposes.

Industrial Unit Construction provides options for single units, terraced units, or large-scale custom builds. 

Because business requirements vary, unit types are selected based on operational function, floor space, and site access.

How Much Does Industrial Unit Construction Cost?

Industrial unit construction costs range from £500 to £1,000 per square metre.

Costs are based on building size, design complexity, materials used, and site conditions. 

The lower end of the range involves standard steel-framed units with minimal fit-out.

Higher costs apply to units with integrated offices, mezzanines, specialist equipment zones, or enhanced insulation and energy systems. 

Because factors like groundworks, planning permissions, and access logistics affect costs, we provide detailed, site-specific quotes following consultation.

What Are the Benefits of New Industrial Unit Construction?

New industrial units offer custom-designed space that supports operational efficiency, safety, and future expansion.

Key benefits include:

• Optimised workflow – Layouts match production or storage needs
• Structural strength – Steel frames and reinforced floors handle heavy equipment
• Flexible space – Units can include offices, mezzanines, or specialist fit-outs
• Energy efficiency – Insulation and systems reduce running costs
• Compliance – Fully meets UK building, safety, and accessibility regulations
• Speed of delivery – Prefabricated systems enable faster build times
• Low maintenance – Quality materials ensure long-term durability
• Custom access – Includes loading bays, roller doors, and service areas
• Scalability – Modular design allows for future expansion
• Increases asset value – Purpose-built facilities boost business capabilities

How Long Does Industrial Unit Construction Take?

Construction typically takes 8 to 20 weeks.

The Duration depends on size, complexity, and site readiness. 

Because build time affects business planning, we provide accurate timelines and manage projects for on-time delivery.

What Services Does Industrial Unit Construction Include?

Industrial Unit Construction offers turnkey services.

This covers everything from design, planning, and groundworks to steel erection, roofing, cladding, fit-out, and utility installation. 

This includes project management, regulatory compliance, and specialist systems tailored for manufacturing, storage, logistics, and mixed-use facilities. 

Because turnkey delivery streamlines the entire process, clients benefit from cost certainty, faster completion, and a single point of responsibility throughout the project.

Can You Help with Design and Planning?

We offer in-house design services and full support through the planning process.

This includes drawings, specifications, and compliance checks. 

Early involvement in design allows us to optimise for workflow, access, and future expansion, ensuring the final build meets operational and regulatory needs. 

Because efficient planning reduces delays and cost overruns, we provide clear guidance from concept to completion.

What Materials Are Used in Industrial Unit Construction?

Industrial units are built with steel frames, concrete floors, and metal cladding.

This offers durability, strength, and low maintenance. 

Internal finishes depend on usage, with options for insulated panels, fire-rated partitions, and anti-slip flooring. 

Because material choice impacts performance, we select systems based on load requirements, insulation needs, and budget.

Can the Build Be Completed Around Existing Operations?

Construction can be planned around live site operations where necessary.

We use phased works, safety barriers, and minimal disruption scheduling. 

We coordinate closely with clients to ensure continuity of business during the build. 

Because downtime affects productivity, we prioritise site safety and operational efficiency.

Do I Need Planning Permission for an Industrial Unit?

Most industrial unit constructions require planning permission, unless they fall under permitted development rights. 

Approval depends on land zoning, environmental impact assessments, and adherence to UK building regulations. 

Working with professional architects and planning consultants helps streamline the approval process.

Do We Handle Planning Permission?

We manage planning applications, building regulations, approval, and compliance checks.

This ensures all work is legally approved. 

Because planning affects timelines, we coordinate with local authorities to avoid delays.

Are Our Units Fully Compliant?

All units are constructed in line with UK building codes, fire safety regulations, and accessibility standards. 

Because compliance ensures safe, legal operation, each unit is fully certified upon completion.

Do We Include Specialist Fit-Outs?

We design units with integrated office space, mezzanines, workshops, or climate-controlled areas.

Industrial Unit Construction tailors each project based on your needs. 

Because operational efficiency relies on layout, we provide custom internal configurations.

Can Industrial Units Be Extended Later?

Our units are designed for future expansion.

This allows modular extensions as business needs grow. 

Because long-term flexibility is essential, we build with scalability in mind.

Can an Existing Industrial Unit Be Expanded or Refurbished?

Industrial units can be extended, upgraded, or modified to meet growing business demands. 

Upgrades can include mezzanine floors, additional loading bays, improved insulation, and smart automation systems.
