Warehouse Appraisal

A Nationwide Service Provided by an Award-Winning Team

Are you looking to expand your warehouse space? Has your product range changed? Is your current warehouse no longer adequate for your business?

All of the above are important questions when considering your warehouse operation, and gaining an understanding of your product range and available warehouse space is vital in determining the right warehouse storage solution. SEC Storage offers a full product and warehouse appraisal service with our experienced warehouse surveyors.

An increasing requirement in modern warehousing is to “maximise capacity” with as many pallets and pallet locations as possible. We can work with you to ensure that your warehouse fit-out – where available – does exactly that, whilst ensuring it is cost-effective, efficient, and delivering a real return on investment for your business.

Determining the right storage solution

Finding the right storage system for your warehouse operation can be a complex task, and there are a number of variables to consider, including:

  • How much available warehouse space do you have?
  • What product types are you looking to store?
  • Which pallet racking system will best suit your setup – now, and in the future?
  • Is warehouse shelving right for you, and should this be used in tandem with a racking system?
  • What mechanical handling equipment do you use, or will you need?
  • What are your product flow and picking methods?
  • Does your warehouse have room for growth, and are you using the full extent of the warehouse cube i.e. the height and width?

Moving or expanding your warehouse?

If you are looking to move premises or expand your warehouse, we can help you to determine the exact space required when liaising with architects and property agents, enabling you to make an informed decision on the space required for your storage needs.

We also offer an experienced warehouse reconfiguration and remodelling service; perhaps you’re not currently utilising the existing height of your building and would benefit from a mezzanine floor solution, or perhaps you need to move toward a semi-automated setup such as a pallet shuttle system in order to maximise storage density.

 

Speculative costing service

SEC Storage offers a speculative budgetary costing service and adopts a consultative approach to guiding you through the entire space planning process.

Our aim is simple: to build a working relationship with you, based on confidence in our ability to deliver your project from an original conceptual idea, through to a detailed and inclusive warehouse space planning phase, to on-site installation and project management.

By considering all of the variables, we can provide a detailed specification with accurate project costs, right down to pallet racking system floor fixings and beam locks. This will give you greater clarity for internal project costing exercises and with the level of detail we can provide, it will help to convince all involved in the project that we are the right business to partner with.
