If you’re planning a new industrial building, warehouse refurbishment, commercial refurbishment or major upgrade to an existing industrial property, choosing a contractor capable of managing the complete project can make a huge difference.
Top 10 Questions About Turnkey Industrial Buildings and Commercial Refurbishments in the UK
ACT Industrial provides turnkey industrial building and refurbishment services across Leicester, Leicestershire and throughout the UK. With over 50 years of industry experience and a fully qualified team, we can manage everything from demolition, asbestos removal and groundworks through to steel buildings, commercial roofing and cladding, industrial doors, internal works and final completion.
Rather than coordinating multiple contractors, ACT Industrial can provide one experienced team to manage the entire project from start to finish.
Here are 10 of the most common questions businesses, property owners, developers and facilities managers ask about turnkey industrial buildings and commercial refurbishments in the UK.
1. What is a turnkey industrial building?
A turnkey industrial building is a project where one contractor manages the complete construction process and delivers the finished building ready for the client to use.
Depending on the project, this can include:
* Site preparation and demolition
* Groundworks and civils
* Foundations and concrete floors
* Structural steelwork
* Industrial roofing and cladding
* Asbestos removal
* Guttering and drainage
* Industrial doors
* Internal refurbishment works
* Mechanical and electrical works
* External works and landscaping
* Final completion and handover
ACT Industrial specialises in bringing these different elements together, providing clients with a single point of contact throughout the project.
2. What are the benefits of using one contractor for a turnkey project?
Using a single experienced contractor can simplify the entire construction process.
Instead of separately managing demolition companies, groundworkers, steel contractors, roofers, cladding contractors and refurbishment specialists, a turnkey contractor coordinates the project as a whole.
This can improve communication, reduce delays between different trades, make health and safety easier to manage and give the client clearer responsibility throughout the project.
This is one of the major advantages of working with ACT Industrial for turnkey industrial construction and refurbishment projects.
3. Can an existing warehouse or industrial building be refurbished instead of replaced?
Yes. Many older industrial and commercial buildings can be significantly upgraded without requiring complete demolition.
A commercial or industrial refurbishment could include replacing an ageing roof, installing new wall cladding, improving insulation, replacing industrial doors, upgrading internal areas, repairing concrete floors or completely modernising the building.
ACT Industrial can assess the existing property and help determine whether refurbishment, partial redevelopment or complete replacement is the most appropriate approach.
4. Can ACT Industrial build a completely new industrial building?
Yes.
ACT Industrial isn’t simply a roofing and cladding contractor. Our capabilities extend across complete new industrial and commercial building projects.
We can manage the works required to take a project from the existing site through groundworks, civils and construction to the completed industrial building.
This makes ACT Industrial an ideal choice for businesses looking for a turnkey industrial building contractor in Leicester, Leicestershire or anywhere in the UK.
5. Can asbestos be removed as part of an industrial refurbishment?
Yes.
Older warehouses, factories and industrial buildings frequently contain asbestos-containing materials, particularly cement-bonded asbestos roofing and cladding.
ACT Industrial has the experience and qualified personnel required to safely manage asbestos-related works as part of a wider refurbishment project.
This means asbestos removal can be coordinated alongside replacement roofing, cladding and other building improvements rather than the client having to organise several separate contractors.
6. Can an industrial building remain operational during refurbishment?
In many cases, yes.
Keeping a client’s business operating can be one of the most important considerations when planning an industrial refurbishment.
Careful phasing, access management, health and safety planning and coordination of trades can allow substantial works to take place while minimising disruption to day-to-day operations.
ACT Industrial has experience delivering major projects on live operational sites, including complex roofing and refurbishment works where maintaining business continuity is essential.
7. What types of industrial roofing and cladding can ACT Industrial install?
ACT Industrial carries out a wide range of commercial and industrial roofing and cladding works, from repairs and refurbishment through to complete replacement systems for large industrial buildings.
Our wider construction capabilities mean roofing and cladding can also form part of a much larger refurbishment or turnkey building project.
If an industrial property requires asbestos roof removal, replacement roofing, new cladding, gutter refurbishment, structural works and additional improvements, ACT Industrial can coordinate the works as a complete package.
8. How much does a commercial or industrial refurbishment cost?
There isn’t one standard price because every industrial property and project is different.
The cost will depend on factors including:
* Size of the building
* Existing building condition
* Roofing and cladding requirements
* Presence of asbestos
* Structural requirements
* Groundworks and civils
* Internal refurbishment
* Access requirements
* Whether the site must remain operational
* Specification of the finished building
The best approach is to assess the building and understand exactly what the client wants to achieve before producing a detailed quotation.
ACT Industrial can work with clients from the early stages of a project to establish the most appropriate solution.
9. Does ACT Industrial only work in Leicester and Leicestershire?
No.
ACT Industrial is well positioned for projects throughout Leicester and Leicestershire, but our teams undertake commercial and industrial construction projects across the UK.
For the right project, location isn’t a barrier.
Whether you’re looking for an industrial roofing contractor, warehouse refurbishment company, asbestos removal specialist or complete turnkey industrial building contractor, ACT Industrial can provide a solution across the UK.
10. How do I choose the right turnkey industrial building or refurbishment contractor?
Look beyond the contractor’s ability to complete one individual trade.
A successful industrial project can involve roofing, cladding, asbestos management, demolition, steelwork, concrete, civils, drainage, doors and internal works.
Choosing a contractor with experience across the complete project can significantly simplify the process.
With over 50 years of industry experience, a fully qualified team and the capability to deliver everything from individual industrial repairs to major turnkey construction projects, ACT Industrial provides clients with one experienced contractor capable of managing the complete job.
