Warehouse contractor for distribution, logistics, and industrial storage
A warehouse is measured by throughput, not floor area. Trucks in per hour, pallet positions stored, and how fast forklifts move without obstruction.
Overview
We build clear-span warehouses for distribution, third-party logistics, raw material storage, and plant-support storage across Greater Jakarta and the Cikarang, Karawang, Bekasi, and Tangerang industrial belt. Scope can be complete from feasibility to handover, or construction only where a design already exists. What decides a warehouse’s cost and viability is not its area but the racking system it will carry, the commodity stored, and the truck traffic pattern at peak hour. Those are the three things we ask about before quoting anything.
The decisions that set the cost
Not the floor area. These six are what make two buildings of identical size cost very differently.
| Clear height | Set by the racking system, not a standard figure. Selective racking, high-bay racking, and mezzanines each demand a different clear height, and every extra metre raises steel tonnage. |
|---|---|
| Column grid | Derived from the racking module and forklift aisle width. A wide span with no intermediate columns costs more, but often pays back in pallet positions gained. |
| Floor flatness tolerance | A general warehouse and a VNA-forklift warehouse are two different jobs. A tight tolerance changes the pour method, not just the finish. |
| Floor loading | Set per zone according to rack leg loads and laden forklift traffic, rather than one figure for the whole building. |
| Loading bay | Dock count, levellers, shelters, and peak-hour truck queueing. 40-foot container turning radii are checked out to the estate road. |
| Fire protection | Follows the stored commodity and stack height. The same warehouse with different contents can require a very different sprinkler system. |
What the scope covers
The full scope runs as TCC’s eight-phase work sequence. Partial packages are equally workable.
Read the 8-phase sequence What determines the cost- Site feasibility, geotechnical investigation, and a layout concept derived from goods flow
- Clear-span steel design and foundations sized to the soil results
- Permitting: PBG, environmental documents, traffic impact analysis where truck volumes warrant it
- Earthworks, foundations, and steel erection
- Roof, walls, concrete floor to the agreed tolerance, and area marking
- Industrial doors, dock levellers, dock shelters, and container-rated yard paving
- MEP: power, lighting to working lux levels, hydrants and sprinklers, drainage
- Commissioning, occupancy certification, and handover with the full as-built set
Questions we are asked
- How long does a warehouse take to build?
- What decides it is not the warehouse’s size but the foundation type the ground demands and how quickly the local authority issues the PBG. Developed estate land is considerably faster than raw land, and permitting runs in parallel with design so the two do not queue. We build the schedule phase by phase once the site is known.
- Can you build on land that has not been prepared?
- Yes, but land preparation, compaction, and drainage become a substantial separate cost line that is often missing from early estimates. We check it during feasibility so it does not surface as a surprise after design is finished.
- Can the warehouse be extended later?
- Yes, and far more cheaply if planned from the start. Setting the expansion direction, spare capacity in the main switchboard, and utility tie-in points during design means the next extension does not have to demolish finished work.
