Warehouse Shell Construction

Warehouse shell construction delivers a complete building envelope ready for tenant finish-out. For developers building speculative industrial space in the DFW market, shell delivery represents the critical milestone that enables leasing and starts the clock on revenue generation. We build shells that attract quality tenants and minimize finish-out costs.

Shell scope typically includes everything through building dry-in: site work, foundations, structural frame, exterior walls, roof, and base building systems. Interior space is left as open shell for tenant-specific build-out. The shell must accommodate a range of potential uses while meeting minimum code requirements.

Smart shell design anticipates tenant requirements. Fire sprinkler mains sized for various hazard classifications. Electrical service with capacity for different load profiles. Clear heights that maximize storage cube. Dock positions that work for various operations. We help developers build flexible shells that lease faster.

Shell delivery timing often aligns with lease negotiations. We understand the pressure to show progress to prospective tenants and hit certificate of shell completion dates that trigger financing milestones. Our schedules are realistic, and we communicate proactively about progress and any issues.
