Industrial Unit

If you have outgrown your existing business location it may be that a new industrial unit is the answer. This may be on land you already own, or on a serviced site. Your building can be designed to the specific needs of the business yet allowing the space to be generic enough to allow an easy sell when you need to move on.

New compliance requirements in environmental, fire, energy, noise, and waste will mean that new solutions in terms of space and equipment will be needed and these will need an expert eye and experience in this specialist area.

Having your space designed properly by an expert will save money in the long term, as things will work better and last longer, as well as being compliant with regulations.

What is this product?
New build can include newly constructed structures of all types such as houses, apartments, office blocks, hospitals, stadium and so on. However, the term is often used in association with the building of new homes

WHO IS IT FOR

This is for all Residential Projects, Offices, hotels, restaurants, retail spaces, hospitality, healthcare, theatrical set and exhibition design.

WHAT DO YOU GET

In this package Your archipal will help you realised your dream house and transform your vision into a buildable design solution and get planning permission.

HOW DO WE DO IT

In the case of an existing multi-storey office block which has three new floors added to increase lettable floor space, the building overall would not be regarded as 'new build'. Work that is not termed new build includes remodelling, refurbishment and renovation. Extensions, by their very nature, can be classed as new build but the existing building that has been extended is not new build.
