This logistics warehouse construction case study highlights how Heartland Building Group redeveloped an active facility into a modern, efficient, and compliant distribution hub. Our team focused on minimizing disruptions while delivering long-term operational improvements.
Client Needs & Goals
A national logistics company needed to upgrade its existing warehouse to support increased demand and evolving client requirements. Their goals included:
- Redeveloping the warehouse with modern storage and logistics systems.
- Ensuring continuous operations during construction.
- Enhancing safety and compliance while preparing the facility for future expansion. Heartland Building Group was chosen for our ability to manage complex redevelopment projects without interrupting daily operations.
Project Overview – Logistics Warehouse Redevelopment
The redevelopment project required both interior and exterior upgrades. Heartland Building Group coordinated design, planning, and construction to ensure efficiency. We worked closely with the client to phase construction activities, allowing operations to continue throughout the project. As a result, the facility remained functional while receiving essential upgrades.
