... Where DIY costs less

Article Abstract:

The management of J. Sainsbury PLC have taken control of the construction work on their new warehouses. As a result the buildings are suitable to meet their particular requirements and designs can be changed whilst building work is in progress. They prefer to use building contractors with whom they have worked successfully in the past. With the help of property agents they find a site and then employ their own designers and building companies. Sainsbury has developed a 250,000 sq ft warehouse in Haydock, England and a depot in East Kilbride, Scotland.

Hitting the heights

Article Abstract:

Important tenants from manufacturing industries are pushing the rising amount of high-bay warehousing construction. However, values of high-bay warehouses could be seriously affected by the European Union's directives on planning and transport and there is likely to be a fall in investors' interested in distribution centres in the near future. More high-bay warehouse sites are due to come onstream during 1995 and investors in distribution centre developments will be watching the sector very carefully.

Hot tin roof but not a cat in sight

Article Abstract:

Gefco's new building for its distribution centre based at Dartford, UK, is seen as a landmark, both physically because it has a single sheet curved roof, and in design terms, for distribution centres. One specification which the architects had to take into consideration was circular traffic movement to avoid congestion. Blue Circle, the developers with whom Gefco's signed a 25-year lease, wanted a building that was distinctive and which would mirror its investment.
