New warehouse developments
Factory and industrial buildings
Distribution centres and logistics facilities
Internal warehouse fit-outs and offices
Mezzanine installations
Change of use and upgrades to existing buildings

Coordination with engineers, builders and project managers
Streamlined permit process with minimal disruption to timelines

Key Compliance Considerations

Warehouse projects involve specific regulatory challenges that must be addressed early:

Classification & Use

Correct building classification (typically Class 7a or 8)
Mixed-use components (e.g. offices within warehouses)
Change of use and upgrade triggers

Fire & Life Safety

Large fire compartment sizing
Fire separation and fire walls
Exit travel distances in large floor areas
Fire hydrants, hose reels and sprinkler systems
Hazardous materials considerations where applicable

Structure & High Bay Design

Long-span structural systems
Mezzanine design and loading requirements
Racking systems and imposed loads
Compliance with AS 4100 and relevant structural standards

Access & Egress

Egress provisions for large occupant loads
Exit widths and distribution
Vehicle and pedestrian separation

Services Integration

Mechanical ventilation where required
Smoke hazard management systems
Electrical and emergency systems

Common RFI Triggers (Warehouse Projects)

To avoid delays during assessment, ensure the following are clearly documented:

Inconsistent classification or mixed-use layouts
Missing fire engineering or unclear fire system design
Insufficient egress analysis for large floor plates
Lack of structural documentation for mezzanines or racking
Incomplete services coordination
No clear documentation for hazardous material storage (if applicable)
Absence of a valid Regulation 126 Certificate of Proposed Building Work
