Industrial projects support uses including manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and storage. Whether small or large in footprint, a good understanding of market conditions related to building materials and construction methods is key to providing a cost effective and efficient structure design for these types of buildings. In addition, these projects often include complexities including specialty foundations, crane support, machine bases, slab on grade design for racking and equipment loads, and piping support, to name a few. To successfully accommodate all of these needs, communication between the design team and the building user needs to be constant to get information and results out in a timely manner.
