BKMBUILDING SOLUTIONS Free Consultation

Industrial Construction

Warehouses, shops and service bays.

Industrial space with the structure, power and clearances your operation actually needs — built for equipment, not brochures.

Commercial service

Structure, power and clearance, engineered around your operation.

We build industrial space around what happens inside it: crane loads, bay clearances, three-phase power, drainage and drive-through access. Office and staff areas get the same attention so your team is not working in a leftover corner.

  • Warehouses, shops and service bay build-outs
  • Overhead doors, drive-through bays and grading
  • Three-phase power, compressed air and lighting
  • Mezzanines, offices and staff amenities

What's included

What an industrial build includes.

Every project is scoped and priced before we start.

Structure & envelope

Clear spans, loading and insulated envelope built for Calgary winters.

Doors & access

Overhead doors, aprons and grading sized to your vehicles.

Power & services

Three-phase distribution, air lines and high-bay lighting.

Floors & drainage

Slab thickness, sealing and trench drains matched to the work.

Mezzanines & offices

Usable second-level space and comfortable staff areas.

Permits & compliance

Development, building and occupancy permits managed throughout.

How it runs

How the work runs.

Site and lease review

We read the space, the lease and the landlord requirements before anything is drawn, so the scope matches what you are actually allowed to build.

Drawings and permits

Layouts, engineering where structure moves, and the development and building permits driven through the city by us.

Fixed, itemised price

A line-by-line quote before demolition, with long-lead equipment identified and the contingency named out loud.

Build and inspections

Trades sequenced around your opening date, with every inspection booked and cleared as we go rather than at the end.

Handover and occupancy

Deficiencies cleared, occupancy permit in hand, warranties and manuals collected and passed to you.

Specify the operation, not the building

Tell us what has to happen in the space and we will size the building around it.

Industrial buildings go wrong when they are specified as square footage. What matters is what the operation needs: clear height under the joists, the floor loading beneath your racking or machinery, the turning circle for the vehicles that will actually deliver, the power at the panel and the pressure at the compressor.

Get those right and the building works for twenty years. Get them wrong and you are paying to reinforce a slab or upgrade a service that could have been specified correctly on day one for a fraction of the cost.

  • Clear height, column spacing and floor loading set by the operation
  • Overhead doors, dock levellers and yard turning circles
  • Three-phase power, compressed air and process services
  • Office and staff areas built into the envelope, not bolted on

Common questions

Questions we get asked most.

Anything not covered here, just ask on the call.

Do you build shops and warehouses from the ground up?

Yes — site servicing, foundations, structure, envelope and interior fit-out under one contract. We also do tenant improvements and expansions of existing industrial buildings.

How long does an industrial build take?

A pre-engineered building on a serviced lot typically runs six to ten months from permit to occupancy, and the steel package is the long lead. Site work, servicing and winter conditions are what move that number most.

Can you build for a specific piece of equipment?

That is the usual case. Cranes, presses and process lines bring foundation loads, power draws and clearances that must be in the structural design from the start, so we want the equipment specifications before drawings, not after.

Can you expand a building we are already operating in?

Yes. We stage the work so the operation keeps running — separating the construction area, keeping your access and shipping live, and tying the new structure in during planned shutdowns.
