What is involved in custom warehouse design?

Custom warehouse design includes site assessment, floor plan optimisation, structural engineering, fabrication, and construction. Evans Engineering & Construction manages the entire process from initial consultation through to handover.

Does Evans Engineering handle both design and construction?

Yes. Evans Engineering & Construction provides a fully integrated service covering design, in-house steel fabrication, and on-site construction — with a single project lead throughout.

What size warehouses does Evans Engineering design?

We design warehouse facilities from 500m² upward, with clear-span eave heights of up to 15 metres, catering to a wide range of industries including logistics, manufacturing, cold storage, and agriculture.

Does Evans Engineering manage permits and compliance?

Yes. We handle all building permits, fire safety compliance, and handover documentation as part of our full-service offering, ensuring your facility is ready for occupation.

How long does the warehouse design and fabrication process take?

Timelines vary depending on facility size and complexity. The process follows six stages: discovery, site survey, concept design, engineering package, fabrication, and construction. We provide a detailed programme at the start of every project.

Warehouse Design
& Fabrication

Every warehouse we design is engineered around your specific operational workflow — not a template. Our team handles everything from initial space planning through structural fabrication and installation.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Custom Warehouse Design & Layout

Every warehouse we design is engineered around your specific operational workflow — not a template. Our team handles everything from initial space planning through structural fabrication and installation.

Site assessment & planning

Detailed site surveys, soil analysis, and zoning review to establish the right structural approach for your location and load requirements.

Floor plan & space optimisation

CAD-modelled layouts that maximise usable floor area, optimise traffic flow, and accommodate current and future operational needs.

Structural design & engineering

Full structural engineering packages including load calculations, steel specifications, and NEN/EN compliant drawings stamped by a certified engineer.

Fabrication & construction

In-house steel fabrication combined with on-site construction management, ensuring quality control from the yard to the finished structure.

Dock doors & loading systems

Integration of loading docks, overhead doors, dock levellers, and vehicle restraint systems designed for your logistics throughput.

Permits & compliance

Full management of building permits, fire safety compliance, and handover documentation so you can occupy with confidence.

OUR PROCESS

A structured, transparent process from first conversation to handover.
