Warehouse construction across South East Queensland.
From a 1,000 m² racking-ready warehouse in Yatala to a 15,000 m² high-bay logistics facility in Eagle Farm — structurally sound, operationally efficient and compliant with all relevant Australian Standards and the NCC.
What modern warehouses demand
The warehouse sector in South East Queensland has changed significantly. E-commerce growth has driven demand for higher internal clearances (10–14 m to underside of haunch is increasingly standard), more efficient truck docking, and fire suppression systems — particularly ESFR sprinklers — capable of protecting high-piled storage.
At the same time, labour costs and scarcity have increased the proportion of warehouses designed for automation, meaning the structural grid, floor flatness and services infrastructure need to be specified with future robotic systems in mind from the outset.
We do not build to minimum specification; we build to what the market — and your operations — actually require.
Built for the way you move stock
Clear-Span Portal Frames
Single-span or multi-bay structural steel portal frames with clear spans of 20–40 m and haunch heights of 7–14 m, configured to suit your racking layout and materials handling equipment.
Concrete Floors
Slabs designed to specific racking and forklift point loads, jointless or defined-joint as required. Specialist slab consultants and laser-guided screeding achieve FM2 or FM1 floor flatness classification.
Truck Docking & Access
On-grade truck access, dock leveller positions, canopy structures, turning circles and hardstand. We model truck swept paths — including B-double access — during design.
Fire Suppression
Fire hydrant, hose reel and automatic sprinkler systems to AS 2118 and AS 1668. For high-rack storage, ESFR sprinkler systems are coordinated with licensed fire systems contractors under our contract.
Racking Provisions
Upright penetrations, floor reinforcing at upright locations, slab joint bridging and tie-down provisions for selective, drive-in, push-back or automated racking — designed in collaboration with your racking supplier.
Where we build warehouses in SEQ

- North Brisbane — Brendale and Narangba
- Gold Coast corridor — Yatala, Ormeau and Stapylton
Warehouse construction costs
Indicative construction costs for a warehouse in Brisbane, subject to site conditions and fitout:
| Warehouse type | Cost range (per m² GFA) |
|---|---|
| Basic industrial portal frame building | $750 – $1,000 |
| Well-specified logistics facility (docks, ESFR, high-bay) | $1,200 – $1,600 |
Note: Site conditions and fitout requirements affect the final figure significantly. We provide detailed cost plans following a briefing.
