Ausonio builds, renovates, and expands distribution centers, manufacturing, and industrial facilities across California’s Santa Cruz, San Benito, and Monterey Counties. The rise of e-commerce has spurred the development of warehouses that also function as logistics hubs. More industries need fulfillment centers that also provide long-term inventory storage to succeed.
Challenges Of Distribution Center Construction
Transportation access and site security are a couple of issues any commercial construction company must address in an industrial project. Distribution centers add more complicating factors. They require a unique level of expertise from general contractors and their crews.
- Companies want amenities for employees like full kitchens, dining areas, and indoor and outdoor lounges.
- You need to determine how much storage you’ll need — now and in the future.
- Business demands distribution centers be built quickly on strict timelines.
- You must select a central location between vendors, production facilities, and e-commerce delivery sites.
- Massive warehouses need strong walls, floors, and roofs to hold the machines and HVAC systems a processing facility requires.
- Urban warehouses are often created by renovating older buildings.
- Distribution centers need more insulation than your typical storage building.
The Rise Of Refrigerated Warehouses
The boom of meal kit delivery businesses and online grocery sales has created a surge in cold storage construction. However, adding cold storage requires specialized contractor knowledge. Your warehouse will need a solid roof to hold the heavy-duty cooling equipment and floors to sustain the cooling systems beneath.
