WAREHOUSE CONSTRUCTION

Warehouse Construction in Louisville, Elizabethtown, & Brandenburg

Kentucky's Top Warehouse Construction Company

Warehouses used to be fairly simple construction projects with four walls, a roof, and lots of open space. Not anymore. Today’s warehouses have big responsibilities and the requirements for these facilities have become more complex.

Warehouse design now involves new advancements in inventory control, shipping, machinery, and other types of automation. We provide metal building construction for warehouses, distribution centers and manufacturing facilities throughout Kentucky.

Warehouse construction is typically comprised of a large pre-engineered metal building with loading docks and office space.

Benefits of Warehouse Construction

Warehouses provide the space necessary for a business’ operations and storage needs for both raw goods or manufactured products. Not all warehouses are giant facilities. We work with small businesses to build a space that suits their needs.

For many companies, there simply isn’t room for the product to share the same space as the administrative offices. A location nearby allows you to conduct business from one end and complete warehousing in a separate location.

Metal Building Construction Process

Warehouses are typically new construction projects and are built prior to owner occupancy. Our industrial construction team works with you to design a space customized to your needs. From a simple, basic big box to an integrated and automated facility for packing, sorting, or manufacturing, we can handle it all.

Woodbine has years of experience and a core group of experienced subcontractors who specialize in warehouse construction. We are among the most sought-after team in the industry thanks to our innovative solutions and quality materials you won’t find anywhere else.

On a square foot basis, metal buildings are typically one of the cheaper types of new construction. The costs vary depending on the type of project.

A simple storage facility is the most common and the cheapest build, whereas specialty projects like a refrigerated warehouse or those with climate control are more expensive. Similarly, automated systems are more expensive than traditional bulk storage facilities.

Types of Warehouse Construction

Distribution: For receiving, storing, and transferring goods a distribution warehouse is the workhorse of your company. A distribution center can be created in a variety of designs to be completely automated, or build on human power. In this facility, goods are stored only temporarily and may come from one or multiple manufacturers.

Consolidated: If you’re building an online business, a consolidated warehouse may be what you’re looking for. In this design, products are broken down into smaller components before being moved.

Long Term: For retail or office materials that need to be stored for more than a few months, a long-term storage is the best solution. These are basically large storage areas for goods that are not being transferred or received.

Cold Storage: Cold and climate control spaces are two very different components of specialized storage. Cold warehouses are for perishable goods, while climate controlled options only control humidity.

The prices in warehouse construction can swing from one extreme to the other, and it’s difficult to even predict figures without a professional estimate. Our qualified estimators take into account the hard costs of labor, land, and material as well as the fluid costs of permits, design, insurance, etc. to give you a realistic figure to better help you plan your budget.

Warehouse construction is the best way to stay a step ahead in your competitive industry with a self-sufficient operation. Keep things processed, organized, and moving in a space that allows you to grow maximized efficiency and ROI.
