This storage warehouse is 55m long with a clear span of 36m and an eave height of 6m. The bays are 11m wide and with a roof pitch of 3 degree. There are 2 large roller shutters in the end wall and 12m sliding doors in the side wall. The warehouse also has an internally fitted-out mezzanine floor with office, wash room, and storage.

XXL CONSTRUCTIONS designed and constructed this purpose built warehouse in 2016 for real estate development business The Crown Group. It was built for the storage of their construction plant and equipment.

XXL CONSTRUCTIONS delivered another well-designed-and-built portal frame structure with 12m wide sliding doors and 11m-12m bays for optimal equipment access in this storage warehouse.

Real estate development business, Crown Group, approached XXL CONSTRUCTIONS to provide a single point-of-contact, concept to completion, build management solution.  XXL was able to successfully provide the perfect custom design, compliant engineering, and an effective and efficient build of this fit-for-purpose storage warehouse, with fully fitted-out mezzanine office space and washroom, specifically for Crown’s own use in Mount Hunter, NSW.

With a strict maximum building height DA requirement the design was challenging, given the client’s very specific requirement for 12m high openings for equipment access, but not a problem for the innovative design team to accommodate.

The single point-of-contact, concept to completion, build management solution provided by XXL involved the production by XXL of a design concept drawing, steel detailing drawings, structural drawings, engineering compliance and approval, construction drawings, council regulation compliance, materials and trade procurement and build management of the site preparation, the foundation works, the slab laying, the stormwater management install, the structural steel frame, roofing, and cladding install, the mezzanine floor install, the internal fit out works, the fire safety fixture install, and the occupancy certification.

XXL CONSTRUCTIONS was able to effectively meet the brief, providing a plant and equipment storage warehouse that was on budget and fully met all of their client’s needs.
