Industrial Construction Law

Industrial Construction Lawyer | Warehouses, Plants & Logistics Facilities

Industrial construction is one of Australia's fastest-growing sectors, driven by logistics demand, manufacturing investment and food and beverage processing. These projects combine heavy structural, mechanical and process engineering with lease-linked commercial pressures, making them legally and technically complex when things go wrong.

Types of Industrial Construction Projects

Warehouses and distribution centres, manufacturing plants, food processing facilities, cold storage and refrigeration facilities, workshops and hardstand developments, and tenant fit-outs within speculative industrial estates.

Industrial Construction Disputes We Handle

Design and construct contract disputes, floor slab and racking load failures, fire safety compliance under the NCC, refrigeration and process services defects, delay and disruption claims, tenant fit-out coordination disputes, and make-good obligations tied to lease milestones. We act in adjudications under state security of payment legislation, tribunal proceedings and court litigation.

Our Industrial Construction Experience

Our dual-qualified engineer-lawyers have advised on disputes across major distribution centres and processing facilities, including claims exceeding $10M for defective floor slabs that could not carry specified racking loads, fire services non-compliance discovered at practical completion, and refrigeration plant failures in cold storage facilities causing product loss. We have also acted for tenants and landlords on make-good and fit-out coordination claims linked to lease commencement dates.

Industrial Construction Technical Expertise

Post-tensioned and jointless floor slabs, superflat flooring tolerances, racking and materials handling systems, fire detection and suppression, ammonia and freon refrigeration plant, process piping and services coordination, and structural steel and portal frame design.
