Industrial & Factory Construction

Industrial and factory construction covers production buildings, plants, warehouses, admin blocks and canteens, combining civil structure, PEB sheds, MEP, firefighting and office interiors. Because the building serves a process, floor loading, crane capacity, clear heights, utilities and fire protection follow from a process layout settled before design.

What we deliver

Factories, production plants, warehouses, admin blocks, canteens and industrial facilities — civil structure, PEB sheds, MEP, firefighting and office interiors delivered as one project.

An industrial client needs a building that serves a process and starts operating on time. That makes two things critical: designing around the process rather than around a generic shed, and delivering the structure, the services and the offices without the gaps that separate contracts create.

Scope of works

ElementWhat we deliver
Production buildingPEB or RCC, designed around the process layout
FloorsGrade slabs designed for machinery and racking loads
Admin blockRCC structure, facade and office interiors
UtilitiesElectrical including HT/LT, plumbing, drainage
Fire protectionHydrants, sprinklers, detection, pump room
VentilationNatural and mechanical ventilation, HVAC where needed
Canteen & amenitiesStaff facilities and washrooms
External worksRoads, drainage, boundary as in scope

Where projects go wrong

  • Building designed before the process layout. The most expensive mistake in industrial construction.
  • Floor loads underestimated. Machinery and racking concentrate heavy loads.
  • Utilities sized for day one. Production grows, and upgrading power and water later is costly.
  • Fire protection an afterthought. It shapes water storage, pump rooms and roof heights.
  • Office block and plant as separate projects. Two sets of foundations, services and approvals on one plot.

Why Hagerstone

Industrial work across the business — factories and industries are a stated sector across our profiles, and our Director – Facade has led industrial envelope projects such as the 6,500 sq. m. Anygraphics factory in Noida.

Single-partner execution across civil, PEB, MEP, firefighting and interiors, with 350+ professionals including a 35-member firefighting team and a 53-member site team, under ISO 9001 / 14001 / 45001.

Standards referenced

Fire and life safety for industrial occupancy under NBC 2016, Part 4. Reinforced concrete to IS 456:2000. Steel design to IS 800:2007.

Frequently asked

The building serves a process. Floor loading, crane capacity, clear heights, utilities, drainage and ventilation are all set by what the factory will make and how. Designing the building before the process layout is settled is the most common and expensive mistake in industrial construction.

Yes, and it usually should be. Admin blocks, canteens and staff facilities on an industrial site are often built as RCC structures next to a PEB production shed. Building both under one contract lets foundations, services and approvals be handled together rather than as two separate projects on the same plot.

Yes. We have worked across 25+ cities, including industrial locations such as Manesar, Rajpura, Dera Bassi, Kotputli and Nalagarh. Industrial estates have their own authorities and approval routes, which are part of planning the project.
