The new building combined Solidor’s current production and storage facilities from five sites into a single hub.

The development comprises a large warehouse space at ground level, with offices concentrated over three floors to the front of the building, and yards and parking located around the perimeter of the site. A best-in-class specification includes 15 metres clear internal height, four dock doors and six level-access doors.

This project demonstrates the increasing awareness among manufacturing companies of the impact they can have when it comes to sustainability by making production processes and buildings more efficient.  Solidor was able to bring in new automated processes that were not achievable at the company’s previous locations.

The project acheived BREEAM Excellent and Planet Mark certification.

BIM was used to coordinate and deliver the scheme.
