Check Every Box – Download Our Warehouse Design Site Survey
In the fast-paced logistics and supply chain world, time is always of the essence. To optimize the time needed to complete a warehouse site survey, we’ve developed a comprehensive project sheet. Following the guidelines below will ensure you efficiently gather all the necessary data to complete a new warehouse design.
The site survey, developed by our experienced design and project management teams, is broken into 4 Phases to support your information-gathering efforts.
- Phase 1 – Storage Systems
- Phase 2 – Facility Specifications
- Phase 3 – Warehouse Operations
- Phase 4 – Installation Planning
Here is an overview of our new site survey planning document.
Phase 1 – Storage Systems
Inventory specs are paramount in warehouse design — SKU counts, pallet dimensions, load weights, etc. Our site survey will walk you through it to ensure all the necessary details are captured. From there, you can customize storage racking solutions that take advantage of the available space and meet your storage and processing needs.
