Most warehouse construction contractors design the structure and figure out the racking later. Pencor specs the building around your floor plan from the first conversation so the warehouse works exactly the way your operation requires it to when you move in.
We design warehouse facilities around your racking layout, clear height requirements, dock access, and floor load ratings before the structural system is selected. Column spacing, clearance heights, and utility locations are confirmed with your vendors before engineering begins so the building your operation moves into is the building we designed for it.
We work with your racking vendor before the structural engineering starts. Column spacing, clear height, and floor load ratings are locked around what goes on the floor first, so the building supports your operation from the first day you use it.
We commit a guaranteed maximum price before the structural drawings are started so the number your lender works from is the number the project closes at.
Conflicts between structural steel, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, and operational clearances are resolved in the model, not in the field after the walls are already up.
We’ve delivered warehouse construction across North Georgia for distribution centers, cold storage facilities, and industrial builds.
Your warehouse is built to your operational spec and handed over on time without budget surprises.
Ground-up warehouse construction priced before the engineering begins so the number doesn’t move when the drawings are done.
We run design and construction as one process under one contract so the racking layout and the structural design never get out of sync.
Warehouse expansions and interior renovations sequenced around your operations so production doesn’t stop while we work.
Pre-engineered systems designed around your racking layout and load requirements, priced before the engineering drawings are started.
We convert older industrial facilities to modern warehouse use and bring them to current operational and code standards.
A warehouse project that breaks ground without a committed budget, a vetted site, and an accountable delivery team is one that opens late or costs more than planned. The four services below close those gaps before you’ve committed to anything.
Once you’re ready to build, we commit to a warehouse budget before the structural drawings start so your financing is built around a number that holds.
We own the racking coordination, the structural schedule, and every inspection so you stay focused on getting your operation ready to move in.
Not sure if your warehouse project is financially viable or whether the site and scope align? We give you an independent read before you commit to a site, a design, or a contractor.
Former dry cleaners and gas stations leave ground contamination that makes industrial sites unbuildable. We run full due diligence before you close on anything.
Case Study
One recent Grocery client needed a facility had to be designed on an existing site with a 13,000-pallet racking layout before a structural system was selected, cold storage requirements built in from the start, and a budget held through a multi-year delivery on a project type their organization had not built before.
How does Pencor design a warehouse around a specific racking or storage system?
We bring the racking vendor into the design conversation before structural engineering starts. Column spacing, clear height, and floor load are established around what goes on the floor first.
Can Pencor commit a budget before the warehouse engineering drawings are done?
Yes. We establish the budget from the project scope, confirmed site conditions, and current market pricing before engineering begins, the way we did at Nam Dae Mun where that number held for over two years without a change.
How familiar is Pencor with North Georgia industrial permitting requirements?
We’ve managed industrial permits across Alpharetta, Athens, Cumming, Dawsonville, Gainesville, and throughout North Georgia, and we’ve walked clients away from industrial sites where contamination from former tenants would have made the project financially impossible.
