Providing multidisciplinary services for 19 light industrial e-commerce facilities

Delivery Station Program

Our client, a leading global e-commerce retailer, needed research, surveys, design, permitting, and construction administration services for 19 new and existing light industrial facilities. The challenge? We had to deliver most of those services in the first two phases within five to six weeks.

The facilities range in size from 25,000 square feet (2,300 square metres) to 500,000 square feet (46,000 square metres). The first phase of work includes due diligence, building programming, and developing a site plan based on the owner’s initial concept and design proforma. The goal was to fit their requirements into the existing buildings and site. The second phase involves permitting (including value engineering) and developing bid and construction documentation, and third phase includes contract administration and final project close-out.

Since our multidisciplinary team encompasses the majority of services required for these projects in-house, staff delivered drawing revisions to the contractor as quickly and efficiently as possible.
