## Services
- [Warehouse Construction](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/warehouse-construction): Builtwise designs and builds warehouses for owner-occupiers and investors across South East Queensland, Toowoomba, the Lockyer Valley and the Fraser Coast.
- [Distribution Centre Construction](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/distribution-centre-construction): A distribution centre is a warehouse designed around the flow of vehicles and goods rather than storage alone: loading docks, hardstand, truck circulation, cross-dock or storage layouts and the office that runs them.
- [Cold Storage Facilities](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/cold-storage-facilities): Builtwise builds cold storage buildings and specialised facilities, coordinating the building structure, insulated envelope, slab and site works with your refrigeration engineer.
- [Steel-Frame Warehouses](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/steel-frame-warehouses): A steel-frame warehouse uses hot-rolled steel portal frames (columns and rafters joined rigidly at the knee) to carry the roof and walls, with purlins and girts supporting metal cladding.
- [Clear-Span Warehouse Structures](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/clear-span-warehouses): A clear-span warehouse has no internal columns: the roof frames span the full width of the building, wall to wall.
- [Tilt-Panel Warehouse Construction](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/tilt-panel-warehouses): Tilt-up (tilt-panel) construction casts reinforced concrete wall panels flat on site, usually on the building slab or a casting bed, then lifts them upright with a crane and braces them until the roof structure ties them in.
- [Commercial Workshops](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/commercial-workshops): A commercial workshop is a building for repairing, servicing or fabricating: vehicle and plant workshops, trade premises, fabrication bays and service centres.
- [Manufacturing Facilities](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/manufacturing-facilities): Builtwise designs and builds manufacturing buildings for Queensland businesses: process halls, production floors, packing areas and the storage, office and amenities around them.
- [Mixed-Use Industrial & Office Buildings](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/industrial-office-buildings): A mixed-use industrial building combines a warehouse or production area with office space, often a showroom or trade counter, in one building.
- [Design & Construct](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/services/design-and-construct): Design and construct (D&C) means one contractor takes responsibility for designing and building your project.

## Guides (answer-first)
- [How much does it cost to build a warehouse in Queensland?](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/resources/warehouse-construction-cost-queensland): Rider Levett Bucknall's Riders Digest 2026 (Queensland edition, fourth-quarter 2025 rates) benchmarks a Brisbane industrial building of 4,500 m² with 6 m to the underside of the truss at $1,360 to $1,800 per m² of gross floor area with metal cladding, and $1,460 to $1,960 per m² with precast concrete cladding.
- [What approvals do you need to build a warehouse in Queensland?](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/resources/industrial-building-approvals-queensland): Most Queensland warehouse projects need two separate decisions: a development approval under the council's planning scheme (unless the use is accepted development on that lot) and a building approval from a licensed building certifier under the Building Act 1975.
- [Tilt-panel or steel-frame: which is right for your warehouse?](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/resources/tilt-panel-vs-steel-frame-warehouse): Choose steel-frame when you want an economical, easily extended building with openings anywhere; choose tilt-panel (tilt-up concrete) when you need fire-rated or boundary walls, security, durability or acoustic mass, and the site has room for casting and a crane.
- [Warehouse or factory? NCC building classes and fire rules explained](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/resources/ncc-building-classes-warehouses-factories): Under the National Construction Code a warehouse used for storage or wholesale display is Class 7b, a building where goods are produced, assembled, repaired, packed or cleaned is Class 8, and an office is Class 5.
- [Warehouse design guide: planning a building around your operation](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/resources/warehouse-design-guide): Start with the operation, not the building: the largest vehicle you receive, peak vehicle movements, how goods are stored and how high, how many people work there, and how the business may grow.
- [What information do you need for a warehouse construction quote?](https://builtwiseconstruction.com.au/resources/warehouse-quote-checklist): For a useful first price a builder needs five things: the lot address, the approximate floor area and height, the building's use (storage, distribution, workshop, manufacturing, cold storage), the office and amenity requirements, and your timeline.
