If you’re planning an industrial building extension or need to organise repairs, sorting out a professional industrial builder is one of the most important steps. Whether you’re looking to expand your warehouse, upgrade your production facilities or make repairs, choosing the right contractor is a big decision.
Industrial spaces are a whole different beast. You’re not just building for looks, you’re building for strength, safety, and functionality. These spaces take a beating: forklifts, pallet racking, machines running all day, and loads of foot traffic. So, the builder you choose needs to understand that. They need to know industrial.
At Preston Building, industrial construction is what we do, extensions, repairs, upgrades, we do it all. We’re trusted industrial builders in Northern NSW and the Gold Coast, and we have years of experience in this sector of the building industry.
Experience in industrial matters
You don’t want someone who’s just done a few office refurbs or just built an extension or two. You want a contractor who’s worked in active industrial environments. Industrial builds and repairs come with a unique set of challenges, and your builder needs to know how to work around them safely and efficiently.
Ask potential contractors about their past industrial repairs and extensions. Have they worked on factories? Warehouses? Have they handled extensions while the business was still operating? Do they know how to deal with OH&S requirements on active sites?
At Preston Building, we’re hands-on from start to finish. We’ve extended warehouses, carried out industrial building repairs on the Gold Coast and Northern NSW, and refurbished industrial buildings without slowing down daily operations. That’s the kind of experience you need.
Reliability is key
It might sound obvious, but reliability is everything for industrial builds. A good contractor shows up when they say they will, communicates clearly, and keeps things moving. You don’t want to be chasing someone for updates or wondering why your job’s delayed for the third time in a row.
Check reviews. Ask for references and look for contractors with repeat clients. We pride ourselves on maintaining timelines and budgets because we know downtime costs you money. Our goal is always to keep disruptions to a minimum.
Tailored industrial building solutions
No two industrial sites are the same. What may work for a food processing facility probably won’t suit a logistics warehouse or a manufacturing plant. Your builder needs to adapt, not only offer a cookie-cutter solution for your space.
Preston Building takes the time to understand your operations first—how you use the space, what your growth goals are, and how the building can support that. Then we build or repair accordingly.
Compliance knowledge is essential
Industrial spaces come with strict compliance responsibilities. Fire safety, accessibility, and structural integrity just to name a few. You need a contractor who’s not only across the building code but also understands how compliance works in a live, working environment.
With more than 20 years’ experience, our team stays up to date on all relevant codes and standards, and we’re used to working alongside certifiers and engineers to get things approved without delays.
