Plan. Design. Build.
Bulk Storage for Your Next Stage of Growth
Getting the planning right for a new Bulk Storage is critical for any future growth or changes to storage locations. It's critical to evaluate heights, ground conditions, and sizes to ensure you get the most efficient solution to move you forward, and to ensure long-term functionality.
Maximise Storage Potential
Design a space with high studs and large spans, giving you the flexibility and efficiency to meet your storage needs.
Optimised Load Bearing Wall Designs
The load-bearing wall design is critical in a bulk store. You want to ensure you compare different heights and designs to find the optimum for your product location, storage solution, and functionality.

Build for Growth
A Smarter Bulk Store Designed To Give You an Edge
Creating the perfect bulk storage starts with understanding your needs. Expert guidance ensures your facility is tailored to your operational requirements, budget and site.
01
Custom Size and Layout
Compare building span or widths with different bay sizes and lengths to ensure you get a efficiently designed building that’s right for your operations now and into the future. Look to minimise central columns without it costings exponentially more.
02
Tailored Features
Get advice on canopies, office spaces, and other options best suited to your location and operational needs.
03
Control Costs
Clear, methodical budgeting means you know exactly where you stand.
04
Faster Timelines
Streamlined planning keeps your project moving, so you can focus on your business.

End to End Experts
Don't Let Consultants & Council Derail Your Project
Navigating councils, consultants, and resource consents can quickly derail your project if not managed properly. A lack of experience in handling these complexities often leads to costly delays and budget overruns.
Having a team that cuts through the red tape is critical to ensure every step is efficient and straightforward.
Here’s how to stay on track:
Cost Optimisation:
A team that understands what drives cost of steel structure, concrete and earth moving, so efficiency is designed in from the start.
Well Managed Process:
You shouldn't have to manage independent architects, engineers and council consultants. Leave it with a central team of end-to-end experts who do it in-house on your behalf and provide weekly updates to avoid confusion and miscommunication.
Work With Experts Who Get It
Everything You Need - Nothing You Don't
A Bulk Store should be built right, but it doesn’t need to be complicated. Work with a team that helps you get everything you need - and nothing you don’t.
01
Efficient Steel Structures
Optimised heights, spans, and bay widths, that provide maximum functionality and value.
Work with a team that’s in touch with the cost drivers and import the steel and control the detail of the design in-house so that different structural designs can be looked at in detail to get you the best value for money.
02
Load-Bearing Concrete Walls
If you require load-bearing concrete walls for bulk storage or durability, ensure they are designed to be efficient and and provide long term value.
03
Structural Steel Coatings
Getting the right coating for your steel is critical as most standard warehouse paints will fail in the wrong environments.
Consider different structural steel coating systems such as paint and hot dip galvanized to ensure you get the right solution for your product and long term durability requirements.
04
Dust Mitigation and Cleaning
Understanding your policies around dust mitigation and cleaning can be critical to making design tweaks that can save you a lot of ongoing compliance and maintenance issues.
