Industrial, manufacturing & logistics
Gleeds is at the forefront of revolutionising industrial spaces, partnering with clients to craft cutting-edge, future-proofed facilities which exceed existing demands, and ultimately reducing the cost of manufacturing. We help to find sites, manage risk, and bring certainty in a world of fluctuating costs.
Gleeds’ unrivalled expertise in driving efficiencies throughout the construction process is matched by our rigorous project controls.
The need to manage resources and assets effectively is a priority – including the supply chain, which we oversee using detailed benchmark-specific data to improve efficiency and minimise waste.
The industrial, manufacturing and logistics sector is constantly growing and adapting, driven by challenges including rising customer expectations and the net zero carbon agenda.
At Gleeds, we provide tailored support to industrial clients, delivering developments that meet their requirements – whether it’s expanding the scope of a small extension or breathing life into the most intricate manufacturing plants and complex distribution centres. Our expertise extends across the automotive, aerospace, food and drink and gigafactories sectors among others.
As an independent multi-disciplined consultancy, we provide solutions for every stage of the construction and property lifecycle. We work on programmes of all sizes and complexity, helping some of the sector’s most prominent names to complete projects on time and within budget.
Our capabilities cover:
- New-build production facilities
- Refurbishments and upgrades
- Support buildings – including offices, welfare, laboratory and storage/warehousing facilities
- Removal and installation of bespoke machinery and plant equipment.
Optimising investment from site acquisition to completion
Extensive experience in the industrial sector enables us to ensure our clients’ money is invested wisely. Our impartial strategic advice maximises the value that businesses and investors achieve from their spaces.
We can assist with finding sites, as well as obtaining incentives and funding. Integrating closely with the client’s design team, we protect projects from fluctuating material and contracting costs, as well as reducing downtime.
Through managing cost at every stage, from concept development to maintaining the operational asset, we eliminate all unnecessary expenditure.
Digitising the project lifecycle
The industrial, manufacturing and logistics sector is rapidly modernising. Gleeds leads the way in supporting this transformation, with innovative software and methodologies that improve project outcomes and maximise the realisation of benefits.
Drawing on the know-how of our in-house digital team, we have developed proprietary data-driven technology tools that facilitate informed, real-time decision making, taking the guesswork out of project management.
These include contract and cost management apps, and a PMO tool that digitises our approach to portfolio, programme and project management to provide a single source of truth for reporting and tracking.
