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.

Experts on
Your Side

Focus on your business while a team of experts manages everything from detailed design and complex council requirements, through to construction.

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.

  • Load-bearing walls can be engineered to almost any height; however, beyond a certain point, the extra cost often outweighs the benefit. For most bulk storage buildings, load-bearing walls typically range between 2m and 5m high.

  • With structural steel, the possibilities are expansive. Our designs can clear span over 50 meters, but ultimately, the span is tailored to fit your budget and specific needs. We work closely with you to achieve the perfect balance between your vision and practicality.

  • The best option depends on your project goals, timeline, and level of involvement you’d like in the building process:

    Design & Kitset Supply: Ideal if you want to manage construction independently but need a professionally designed and engineered kitset tailored to your needs. It offers flexibility and cost savings while ensuring a solid foundation for your project.

    Design and Turnkey: This is a comprehensive, hassle-free solution where we handle everything from design to construction. Perfect for those who want a seamless experience with minimal involvement in project management.

    Design and Base Build: Best if you need a fully designed and constructed structure, but plan to manage specific aspects of the build (like interiors or fit-outs) yourself. It provides a balance of control and professional support.

    To determine the best fit, consider your budget, the complexity of your project, and how involved you want to be. For a better understanding, view Our Services Page.
