Loading, Yard, Eaves Height
Confirm on-grade doors. Add dock levellers where needed. Target clear heights of 8–12 m for efficient racking. Measure yard depth for your longest vehicle. Check door widths, slab loading, and column spacing so aisles and staging work as planned.
Power, Fibre, Backup
Verify three-phase supply with headroom for upgrades. Ask about generator coverage, automatic changeover, diesel policies, and recovery charges. Confirm backup water if your process needs it. Fibre is widely available; list active ISPs and lead times.
Costs, Escalations, Tenant Installation
Model basic rent, operating costs, rates, taxes, security, generator recovery, and water recovery. Add parking or yard rentals if separate. Confirm escalation, deposit or guarantee terms, and handover conditions. For white-box units, agree on a tenant installation allowance plus programme before signature.
Fit-Out and Compliance
For racking or insurance requirements, confirm sprinkler category, pump capacity, water storage: map lighting levels, small power, HVAC in packing areas, and IT risers. Align contractor rules, induction, and site supervision to avoid delays.
