Warehouse Design and Layout Planning

A well-planned warehouse layout directly impacts workflow, safety, and operating costs. Using advanced CAD technology, our team develops detailed warehouse design and layout plans that make the most of your available space and create clear, efficient material flows.

Every warehouse rack design considers:

Product type, stock rotation, and pallet sizes
Forklift routes and aisle widths
Fire exits and safety access points
Integration with mezzanine floors and conveyors
Lighting, barriers, and signage

This integrated approach minimises travel time, improves pick accuracy, and ensures your warehouse meets all UK safety and operational standards.

Warehouse Planning & Early Design Support

Our warehouse racking design consultancy can assist even before your facility is built. Early warehouse planning helps confirm that your structure, slab load, and ceiling height will support racking systems, automation, and future expansion.

We collaborate with architects, developers, and site managers to design spaces that maximise usable area and long-term flexibility. For businesses still assessing new premises, our consultants can review layout potential, floor loading, and site suitability before commitments are made.

Early involvement prevents design conflicts, reduces costly redesigns, and ensures your warehouse is built for sustained efficiency. Our experience spans logistics, manufacturing, retail, and cold storage environments.
