Vallejo Industrial Zone: reconstruction of the past
The selection of a warehouse depends on whether you are changing location, expanding your territory or starting in this industrial sector. Para cualquiera de estos escenarios debes tomar en cuenta lo siguiente (1) (2):
1) Measure the investment. Consider whether it is best to buy, rent or build, based on your numbers and growth forecasts. We recommend you to consider renting as the main option to avoid disbursing a large amount of money and, in this way, evaluate the results and benefits of the property and the location.
With this return to activities, it is essential to take care and calculate investments in order to take firm and strong steps in the process of economic return.
2) Rate the location. It is very important to be close to urban areas and the strategic center of your sector, which allows you to be close to services, supplies, suppliers, clients and even the competition, which can represent valuable alliances and status for the industrial sector in the that you perform.
For that you must know the main industrial zones as technological references and in trend. In the
Vallejo Industrial Zone

3) Calculate the type and size of the ship. It is very important to consider not only the current state of your business or project, but to make a forecast of the growth perspective you have in the short, medium and long term, so that you choose a place that meets those expectations.
Once you check that everything is in order and working properly with that supplier, you can extend the rental period. This will also give stability to your business not only to temporarily solve the need for a space, but also to project it to your customers and suppliers with the location you will have.
It is important to review the characteristics of the ship according to the type: class A or B.

With those of class A you will have the assurance that they comply with international standards to prevent risks when operating the place, since they have areas for offices, fire tanks, independent transformers, among other important elements.

4) Take into account the characteristics of the ship. In addition to this, it is important that the space has the highest possible height to stow products, in addition to optimizing the control of inventories and loads. In this sense, vertical storage is more functional than horizontal storage.
Another element is the spacing between columns, which, the greater the distance between them, the wider the storage and the fewer the interruptions. The ideal is 18 x 22 meters.
It is also important that the floor is made of concrete with a considerable thickness: in the case of retail or ecommerce , the measurement is 15 centimeters with a resistance of 5 tons per square meter.
This is very important, since depending on your activity and purpose of occupation of the property, you must consider some technical elements to avoid risks and damages, such as fractures, in the areas of higher concentration.
On the other hand, platforms and ramps are fundamental elements for the dispatch and rapid loading of operations, in addition to facilitating the loading and unloading of units. The suggestion is that there be one platform for every thousand square meters. The inclusion of these items in the rent should be reviewed with the supplier.
A final element is the maneuvering yard space, which is essential to facilitate movements within the site’s roadways in order to avoid mishaps.
The commercialization of industrial buildings reached 2.6 million square meters, from January to September 2020, which includes renovations and pre-leases (3).

5) Rcheck the roads and transport. It is necessary to think not only about the internal distribution of the place and its equipment, but also about accessibility for workers, suppliers, end customers and other collaborators, since it will allow you to be an economic, productive and strategic center, in relation to the costs that It represents mobilizing human and industrial equipment.
In addition, connectivity is very important in order to reduce the times and costs for the layout of deliveries, so we suggest you be close to the entrances and exits of the city or cities where you provide your services.
6C Consider the total expenses. In this sense, calculate the cost of the rent plus the services or maintenance that you must pay in the facilities, if necessary.
Also, foresee if you must invest in conditioning, in terms of infrastructure, supply, security circuits (due to the insurance issue) and specific repairs (especially with covers).

This will ensure greater peace of mind and support for your business.
8) E xamines the security infrastructure. At this point it is very important to consider security both outside and inside, since we are talking about a property where both high-value personnel and equipment are concentrated.
That is why it is suggested that the warehouse be located in an industrial park, that is, be in an area of the same sector, with 24/7 security, in addition to having controlled and fenced access.
Inside the building it is very important to have telecommunications, water, gas, electricity and fire fighting systems.
9) Review the contract in detail. It is always important to take the time to review each clause and resolve any doubts that may arise, since real estate contracts can vary in duration (from short to long term) and the commitment that is acquired is important for both parties. Check and negotiate with your provider, if necessary.
It is also important that you try not to make the following mistakes when evaluating a property for rent (1):
– Giving preference to price over qualityA cheaper property can compromise the condition of your products, deliveries and your business reputation. Therefore, it is necessary to fully evaluate the project and assess the price according to the characteristics and guarantees it offers.

It is not worth saving them, since you may have an accident due to the type of material you store, or it may even happen that the adjoining buildings (in case you are located in an industrial park) have flammable or dangerous products, which may end up causing an incident where your merchandise is compromised and you have to cover the expenses on your own.
