Better decisions. Built on certainty.

Solved Construction helps develop and evaluate industrial and logistics building projects through a more structured design and feasibility process.

What you gain

  1. 01

    Cut cost

    Resolve the layout early, before changes become expensive.

    • Efficiency
    • Lower staff cost
  2. 02

    Cut risk

    Constraints, compliance and assumptions visible from day one.

    • Transparency
    • Compliance
  3. 03

    Reduce time

    Move from site to a feasible layout in fewer steps.

    • Speed
    • Clear process
  4. 04

    Gain freedom to build

    Explore more options and choose with confidence.

    • Design alternatives
    • Stronger proposals

Construction projects are complicated. Requirements compete, constraints overlap and budgets move. We bring site, operation and design together into a clearer, better-documented decision process.

02 What we do

From site constraints to coordinated project information.

  1. 01

    Site and constraint analysis

    Understand boundaries, access, setbacks and existing conditions early in the process.

  2. 02

    Operational planning

    Organise loading, circulation and functional zones around how the building will actually work.

  3. 03

    Building layout development

    Explore several building layouts before committing to a direction.

  4. 04

    Feasibility and cost studies

    Compare alternatives using a consistent set of assumptions, with those assumptions kept visible.

  5. 05

    Design development

    Develop the selected direction with attention to both technical performance and architectural quality.

  6. 06

    BIM and technical documentation

    Coordinate models and drawings with clear version, source and review information.

03 How it works

A clear sequence, with every assumption on the table.

  1. 01

    Understand the site and brief.

    Boundaries, access, existing conditions and what the building needs to do.

  2. 02

    Establish requirements and constraints.

    Setbacks, reserved zones and regulations are mapped before any layout is drawn.

  3. 03

    Explore design alternatives.

    Several footprints are tested against the same site and the same brief.

  4. 04

    Evaluate feasibility and performance.

    Options are compared on a consistent set of assumptions, and those assumptions stay visible.

  5. 05

    Develop the selected direction.

    Structural grid, loading and circulation are resolved around how the building will operate.

  6. 06

    Coordinate and hand over project information.

    Drawings and models carry their revision, status and sources with them.

— Operation first

Design around how the building will be used.

04 Applications

Buildings where operation shapes the design.

Every building type has its own drivers. Choose a type to see what typically shapes the layout, and where early decisions matter most.

A row of loading dock doors along the side of a distribution building.

Logistics and distribution

High-throughput buildings where the yard, docks and racking set the plan.

Typical design drivers

  1. 01Dock doors and yard depth
  2. 02Clear internal height and racking
  3. 03Separating lorries, cars and people
  4. 04Phasing and room to expand
A modern industrial building with a large vehicle door and clean metal cladding.

Industrial facilities

Facilities shaped by equipment, services and safety requirements.

Typical design drivers

  1. 01Structural loads and crane provision
  2. 02Process and utility routes
  3. 03Safety and separation distances
  4. 04Adapting to future processes
A long aisle between tall warehouse racks stacked with goods.

Warehousing

Storage buildings where the racking layout and the structure have to agree.

Typical design drivers

  1. 01Storage system and aisle widths
  2. 02Column grid and clear span
  3. 03Fire strategy and compartments
  4. 04Daylight and energy performance
An automated production line inside a large, brightly lit factory hall.

Production buildings

Buildings organised around how material and people move through production.

Typical design drivers

  1. 01Process flow and adjacencies
  2. 02Floor loads and flatness
  3. 03Building services capacity
  4. 04Staff facilities and welfare
Corner of a modern operational building with grey cladding and open service bays.

Commercial and operational facilities

Trade, service and operational buildings that combine public and back-of-house use.

Typical design drivers

  1. 01Customer and staff access
  2. 02Zoning of mixed uses
  3. 03Visibility and arrival
  4. 04Servicing without conflict

05 About

Technology in service of better judgement.

Solved Construction sits between an engineering consultancy, an architectural practice and a technology company. We organise complex project information into a clearer design and decision-making process.

Better tools improve the quality of decisions. They do not replace professional judgement.

  1. P1

    Clarity over complexity

    Complicated information, presented so it is easy to understand.

  2. P2

    Evidence over promises

    Show the process, assumptions, constraints and outputs.

  3. P3

    Structure with flexibility

    Consistent systems that still respond to the project.

  4. P4

    Precision with humanity

    Technical accuracy alongside material and architectural quality.

  5. P5

    Progress through responsibility

    Technology that improves decisions, not one that hides them.
