buildings

Industrial buildings are structures designed for various industrial activities. These typically feature large open spaces, solid construction, and specific engineering solutions.

MANUFACTURING FACILITIES

These buildings are designed for production purposes and require specialized systems: ventilation, electrical supply, wastewater management, etc. The goal is to ensure functionality, support production processes, and achieve cost-efficiency.

WAREHOUSES AND LOGISTICS CENTERS

Warehouses and logistics centers serve for storage and goods distribution. Logistics centers are more complex than basic warehouses and require consideration of specific functions, operations, and technologies.

ENERGY FACILITIES

These buildings include power plants, transformer substations, and boiler houses. These require the highest standards in safety, reliability, and long-term performance.

AGRICULTURAL BUILDINGS

Agricultural buildings include barns, hangars, grain elevators, etc. They are tailored for livestock or crop production and designed to support specific farming processes.

TECHNOLOGICAL STRUCTURES

These include laboratories, treatment facilities, and cold storage units. They require exceptional durability, strength, and safety due to their technical functions.

FEATURES OF INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS

Industrial buildings differ significantly from administrative or public-use structures.

Industrial buildings are designed to accommodate various processes such as storage, production, or technology operations. Therefore, architectural, structural, and engineering solutions are tailored specifically to the intended function of the building.

When it comes to industrial buildings, functionality takes priority over aesthetics. Every aspect of the project—from structural design to flooring materials is selected based on the building’s purpose. Aesthetics can still play a role, especially in settings such as technology parks or representative spaces, but they are secondary to functionality.

Because industrial buildings serve a broad range of functions – from warehouses and logistics hubs to energy infrastructure and technological facilities like laboratories – they must meet the standards for material durability, structural integrity, and safety. For example, when designing logistics centers, it is crucial to account for heavy equipment traffic and high loads. In laboratories, ventilation systems and chemical-resistant surfaces are essential.

Depending on their purpose, industrial buildings are typically characterized by large, open spaces, specialized engineering systems, and high resistance to environmental conditions.

KEY SPECIFICS

PURPOSE

The most important factor in industrial building design is its intended use. Whether the structure is meant for storage, logistics, production, research, agriculture, or other specialized activities, all design decisions – from architectural layout to structural and engineering solutions – are based on that purpose.

FUNCTIONALITY

Functionality is at the core of industrial buildings. These facilities are typically built with large, tall spaces to accommodate the operations within. In manufacturing plants, the layout is tailored to production processes and necessary equipment. In warehouses and logistics centers, it is shaped by the flow of machinery, types of goods handled, and ease of loading/unloading operations.

STRUCTURAL AND TECHNOLOGICAL SOLUTIONS, ENGINEERING SYSTEMS

Industrial buildings must comply with strict safety requirements. Reinforced structures and highly durable materials are used to ensure longevity and reliability. Engineering systems are tailored to the building’s specific needs. Most industrial facilities require custom electrical installations, advanced ventilation, and other systems adapted to their operations. Materials must often withstand temperature fluctuations, mechanical stress, chemical exposure, and in some cases, require acoustic insulation or meet strict hygiene standards – all depending on the building’s function.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

The construction of industrial buildings is a complex process that includes several main stages: planning and preparatory works, design, construction works, and completion and handover of the building.

The duration of an industrial building construction project depends on many factors, such as the size and complexity of the building, the type of structure, the building’s intended purpose, applied technological solutions, required permits, etc. The construction process of an industrial building can take from several months to several years.

PLANNING AND PREPARATORY WORKS

At this stage, a detailed analysis is carried out: the purpose of the industrial building is determined, the planned size and technical requirements are defined. Site selection is carried out, the infrastructure possibilities and geological conditions of the plot are assessed. It is especially important to evaluate legal aspects – spatial planning, obtaining necessary permits, and compliance with regulations.

DESIGN

During this stage, the architectural design is prepared – the overall layout and functional design of the building. Structural solutions are planned – selection of materials, design of utility systems (electrical, heating, ventilation, water supply, etc.). The construction permit is arranged, and approvals from relevant authorities are obtained.

CONSTRUCTION WORKS

Construction works are carried out. Site preparation, foundation installation. Structures are assembled (walls, roof, flooring), utility systems are installed (electrical, water supply, heating, fire safety systems). Interior finishing is carried out – depending on the type of industrial building, production areas, offices, warehouses, etc. are installed.

COMPLETION AND HANDOVER

A quality inspection is performed – compliance with the project and safety requirements is ensured. The necessary documentation is arranged: certificates, permits for operation. The industrial building is handed over.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

In our work, we are guided by principles that not only support high-quality construction but also our vision to become industry leaders in construction and engineering.

 

  • Earn and maintain the reputation of a reliable contractor and trusted partner.
  • Offer mature, value-driven construction solutions.
  • Ensure high-quality results by using advanced technologies.
  • Adhere to agreed timelines for every phase.
  • Foster long-term partnerships based on trust and professionalism.
  • Contribute to a stronger business culture within society.

ECOLOGY

Sustainability is one of our core priorities. We recognize that the construction and engineering sectors can have a significant environmental impact. That is why we are committed to minimizing our ecological footprint by implementing sustainable, environmentally responsible solutions and promoting the efficient and responsible use of resources.
