Warehouse Layout
Building a warehouse is one of the most critical procedures due to the complex layout requirements that are needed as well as proper estimation. It is a vital approach for a company since the poor design would lead to late delivery of products and inadequate product storage (Cempírek et al., 2016). In the contemporary business world, warehouse designs are advanced due to increased technological advancement and growth. Therefore, it is recommendable for the engineer and the contractor to consider substantial materials and equipment for effective development. Before initiating the construction process, it is necessary to establish a reliable plan to ensure that the provided cost is adequately utilized. Furthermore, during the establishment of the layout, it is also necessary to consider available parameters and the provided capital (Bortolini et al., 2020). From the capital, it is easy to identify the specific dimension of the layout it can sustain. However, risks must also be considered and specific actions put in place to address the identified risks. The paper addresses a warehouse layout based on a 37 million dollars budget that the contractor will utilize to ensure that the contractor is adequately satisfied.
Building Code and Dimensions
Before any activity is initiated, the two vital elements to consider include building dimensions and building code. The dimension is based on 37 million dollars. For the project, the dimension will be 200 by 300 feet. This will make it easy to utilize the available capital effectively. The code information during the building process is important for efficient delivery of the supplies (Millar et al., 2016). One of the most important aspects of warehouse construction is timely delivery of the materials since it prevents delays. Notably, the dimension must further incorporate substantial equipment as well as the height of the building. Whenever the identified aspects are addressed, it becomes easy to implement specific objectives and plans for the layout. Lastly, an aspect that must be considered while establishing the dimension of the warehouse building is the interior clearance, finishing, and walkthroughs (Millar et al., 2016). With the consideration of the building dimension and the code, it is easy to implement the appropriate building goals and budget effectively.
Location
Location is an essential aspect of warehouse layout. For this project, the location is based on airport position and delivery. The reason behind focusing on such aspects is to ensure that product delivery is made easy. Therefore, the warehouse will be located in Rosharon, some few kilometers from port Houston and William p. Hobby Airport. The reason behind choosing the identified location is to ensure that the goods transported via the port can be stored for some time whenever the need arises and easily airlifted at a reasonable cost. According to He et al. (2020), considering the location of a warehouse is essential due to ease of access and effective utilization of existing transport resources. Embracing the identified location will also make it easy to acquire building resources at an affordable cost and effectively utilize...
