Industrial Construction in Tampa Bay

Florida Construction Specialists handles industrial construction projects ranging from $500,000 to over $50 million. This includes smaller flex space buildings (10,000-30,000 SF), mid-size warehouses (50,000-150,000 SF), and large distribution centers (150,000+ SF). Our $10M+ bonding capacity allows us to take on substantial industrial developments.

We select construction methods based on your facility requirements and budget. Options include: tilt-wall concrete (cost-effective for large footprints), pre-engineered metal buildings (fast timelines, clear spans), conventional steel frame (maximum flexibility), and concrete construction (heavy-duty applications). We'll recommend the best approach during pre-construction.

Yes, we construct cold storage and refrigerated facilities including frozen storage, refrigerated warehouses, and controlled-environment buildings. These projects require specialized insulation systems, refrigeration equipment coordination, vapor barriers, and temperature-controlled construction practices. We coordinate with refrigeration engineers and equipment suppliers.

Yes, we build facilities for diverse manufacturing operations including clean rooms, food processing, pharmaceutical production, and general manufacturing. We coordinate specialized systems including process piping, compressed air, specialty gases, high-capacity electrical, and industrial HVAC. Our pre-construction process identifies all specialty requirements.

Manufacturing facilities often require specialized foundations for heavy machinery. We coordinate with equipment suppliers and structural engineers to design foundations that accommodate equipment weights, vibration isolation, and anchor bolt patterns. Foundation work is completed before equipment delivery to maintain project schedules.

Industrial construction timelines depend on building size and complexity. Small flex buildings (under 30,000 SF): 4-8 months. Mid-size warehouses (50,000-100,000 SF): 8-14 months. Large distribution centers (150,000+ SF): 12-18 months. Specialized manufacturing facilities may require additional time for equipment installation and commissioning.

Yes, we manage complete site development including grading, utilities, paving, truck courts, dock areas, retention ponds, and landscaping. Industrial sites often have significant paving requirements for truck circulation and trailer storage. We coordinate all site work to support building construction and operational needs.

We install dock equipment including dock levelers, dock seals and shelters, dock bumpers, vehicle restraints, and dock doors. Equipment is specified during pre-construction based on your operational requirements—trailer types, loading frequency, and product handling needs. We coordinate with equipment suppliers and installation.

Yes, we work with developers on speculative industrial buildings designed to attract tenants. These projects require flexibility for unknown end-users while controlling costs. We provide input on construction methods, building features, and finish levels that optimize marketability while meeting budget targets.

We provide industrial construction services throughout Tampa Bay and the I-4 corridor including Tampa, Lakeland, Brandon, Plant City, St. Petersburg, and Clearwater. The region's logistics infrastructure—including Port Tampa Bay, interstate access, and proximity to central Florida—makes it a strong market for industrial development.
