FAQ's

A Built-to-Suit (BTS) warehouse is a custom-designed storage facility tailored to meet the specific needs of your business. Instead of opting for a generic warehouse, the space is created based on your requirements—whether that’s the layout, size, or specialized features like storage systems or office space. It’s a warehouse built exactly for how you operate.

Building a BTS warehouse typically takes between 6 to 12 months. This timeframe can vary depending on the complexity of the design, the location, and any specific features you need. The process includes planning, permits, construction, and final inspections, all of which are carefully managed to ensure everything is up to your business’s needs.

A BTS warehouse offers a range of benefits compared to a standard warehouse. Because it’s designed specifically for your business, you get a space that maximizes operational efficiency, minimizes wasted space, and is built to handle the unique aspects of your business. Whether it’s high ceilings for racking, specialized cooling systems for inventory, or specific layout configurations, a BTS warehouse helps streamline operations and improve productivity.

While modifications are possible, they’re typically more cost-effective and efficient to implement during the design phase. Once the warehouse is built, changes can be made, but they may involve additional costs and time. It’s always best to get all your requirements upfront to ensure the design meets your long-term needs.

If your business has specific storage, operational, or space needs that can’t be easily met by a generic warehouse, a BTS warehouse might be the perfect solution. It’s also a good choice if you’re planning for long-term growth, need specialized facilities, or have a unique workflow. A BTS warehouse will be built to accommodate your unique needs, making it a great investment for businesses looking for efficiency and scalability.

Leasing a BTS warehouse generally includes costs for land lease or purchase, construction of the facility, and design services. There may also be ongoing costs for utilities, maintenance, and property management. The exact cost will depend on factors like the location, size, and features of the warehouse, but we ensure transparency so you know exactly what to expect.

Typically, leasing a BTS warehouse is more expensive than renting a generic, pre-existing warehouse. The additional cost comes from the custom design and construction process. However, the long-term benefits of having a space built specifically for your business can outweigh the higher upfront costs. A BTS warehouse can lead to greater operational efficiency, potentially reducing overall costs in the long run.

While most BTS warehouses are designed for long-term leases, some providers may offer more flexible terms. However, since the warehouse is custom-built, leasing it for a short period might not always be practical. If you foresee needing a warehouse for only a short time, we can explore alternative options, but a BTS warehouse is generally a better fit for businesses with long-term needs.

When choosing a location, you’ll need to think about factors such as proximity to suppliers and customers, transportation infrastructure (like highways, railways, and ports), labor availability, and zoning regulations. A good location can improve logistics and help reduce transportation costs, making it crucial to select a site that aligns with your operational goals.

Absolutely! In fact, many BTS warehouses are designed with automation in mind. If your business uses automated systems for inventory management, order fulfillment, or material handling, we can incorporate features like conveyor belts, automated storage systems, robotics, and more to make the warehouse work seamlessly with your existing technology.

The main benefit is customization. A BTS warehouse allows you to design the space specifically for your business needs, whether that’s for storage, manufacturing, or distribution. It ensures your space is used efficiently, reduces operational bottlenecks, and can even improve worker safety and productivity by providing the ideal layout. Plus, as your business grows, the warehouse can scale with you, offering long-term flexibility.

No, BTS warehouses can benefit businesses of all sizes. Whether you’re a growing startup or an established enterprise, a BTS warehouse can be tailored to suit your unique needs. Smaller businesses may find BTS solutions especially helpful if they have specific operational needs or plan to scale quickly.

How do I know what size BTS warehouse my business needs?

A BTS warehouse is typically built using durable materials like steel, concrete, and insulated panels. The specific materials can vary depending on the design and intended use of the warehouse.

BTS warehouse leases are generally long-term, often ranging from 10 to 20 years. This is because the warehouse is specifically designed for your business, and the construction process involves significant investment. However, lease terms can be flexible depending on the location and your business’s needs.

Maintenance responsibilities are typically outlined in the lease agreement. In many cases, the property owner is responsible for major structural repairs, while you, as the tenant, would handle day-to-day maintenance like cleaning, equipment upkeep, and other minor repairs. We ensure everything is clearly defined so there are no surprises.

If your business grows and you need more space, there are a few options.
