Industrial construction encompasses the planning and development of facilities such as factories, power plants, warehouses, and other highly specialized structures dedicated to industrial operations.

This sector of construction involves the entire lifecycle of industrial facilities, including their design, installation, and ongoing maintenance of mechanical and structural components. The term “industrial” is linked to businesses engaged in the production of goods. Many industrial structures have specific logistical requirements, such as round-the-clock shipping and receiving capabilities, close proximity to air or rail transportation, or easy access to major highways. The architectural design of an industrial facility prioritizes layouts that facilitate efficient foot traffic and are tailored to streamline manufacturing and distribution processes. These buildings are characterized by their functional, utilitarian design, as they must support heavy machinery and adhere to industry-specific regulations. Most industrial projects undergo a thorough permitting process and must meet occupancy requirements that comply with local, state, and federal building codes.
