With Brener’s experience in industrial and logistics structures, we add value in design and construction. Since our establishment, we have continued to provide corporate services by constructing numerous industrial facilities and logistics buildings.

We offer customised design and engineering solutions for industrial facilities and warehouse and logistics buildings as Brener. 

First, we determine the characteristics of the industrial facility or warehouse service with the company; then, we prepare the design that presents the best and most economical solution with our team of architects and operational engineers…

Industrial and logistics building construction has different and unique characteristics compared to standard commercial or residential building construction. Its design requires attention to different elements.

Special Requirements for Industrial and Logistics Buildings

The key factors that distinguish the management of such projects are as follows:

1. Functionality and Design

• Wide Open Spaces and High Ceilings: Column-free, spacious interiors are required for storage, production lines and heavy machinery. This typically necessitates the use of specialised load-bearing systems such as steel construction or precast reinforced concrete.
• Floor Strength: High-strength, flat and smooth industrial floors (polished concrete) are essential for forklift traffic, heavy machinery loads and the stable installation of shelving systems. Floor quality is one of the most critical quality elements of the project.
• Modularity and Flexibility: The facility must be designed and constructed to adapt to future growth and operational changes (adding new production lines, changing shelving systems).

2. Delivery Time (Speed)

• Quick Installation: The time to market is critical for industrial facilities. Steel construction and prefabricated systems offer much faster installation than cast-in-place concrete, taking time management to a whole new level.
• Production Continuity: If an old facility is being renovated, construction must be carried out according to a very precise schedule so as not to disrupt current operations.

3. Technology and System Integration

• Specialised Installations: The scope of construction includes not only the building envelope but also complex mechanical and electrical installations (MEP), such as high-voltage systems, process piping, HVAC, ventilation, fire suppression systems, and automation. The coordination of these systems requires highly detailed project management.
• High Safety Standards: Fire safety and worker safety standards (particularly in locations storing hazardous materials or involving chemical processes) are very high.

Additional Roles in Project Management

Due to the above specific requirements, the project manager should focus on the following in these projects:

• Coordination Expertise: Ensuring synchronisation between architects, structural engineers, mechanical/electrical engineers, ground specialists, licensing teams and numerous specialised subcontractor teams (steel erectors, ground pourers, etc.).
• Logistics Management: The project is managed using a special construction logistics plan for the transportation and assembly of heavy and large-sized materials (steel beams, prefabricated panels) arriving at the construction site.
• Risk Management: Managing occupational safety risks arising from working at height, heavy lifting operations and complex assembly processes on construction sites to the highest degree.

The successful construction of industrial and logistics structures requires a high level of project management skill that meets budget and time targets without compromising speed, functionality, and safety.
