Why We Build Industrial, Logistics & Manufacturing
Every supply chain
runs through a building
Every product that reaches a shelf, a door, or a production line moves through an industrial, logistics, or manufacturing facility first. These buildings are the operating system of the modern economy.
Ireland's industrial pipeline is accelerating — the demand is structural, multi-year, and growing. From fulfilment centres and distribution hubs to cold storage, logistics parks, and advanced manufacturing facilities, Conroy delivers for developers, institutional investors, and owner-occupiers across the full range of industrial, logistics, and manufacturing facility types.
Online retail penetration continues to rise. Last-mile and regional fulfilment networks are expanding across Ireland and the UK — driving demand for automated, temperature-controlled, and high-throughput facilities.
Post-pandemic supply chain restructuring is bringing inventory and distribution closer to the end consumer. Ireland's position as a European gateway creates structural, long-term demand for logistics real estate.
Speculative and build-to-suit programmes are being delivered at scale — shell & core D&B to tight programme windows, with BREEAM, LEED, and occupier specification targets embedded from Stage 2.
Reshoring initiatives, IDA-backed investment, and supply chain resilience are driving demand for new manufacturing facilities across Ireland. From advanced assembly and process manufacturing to food production and cleanroom environments — purpose-built production facilities require precision engineering and specialist MEP coordination from day one.
Pharmaceutical logistics, food distribution, and life sciences supply chains are driving demand for specialist envelope, refrigeration interface, and multi-temperature zone facilities.
What We Build
Twelve facility types.
One delivery standard.
Portal frame warehouse and distribution facilities. Clear-span structural design with floor areas typically ranging from 5,000 m² to 50,000 m²+. Slab, structural frame, envelope, and fire protection co-ordinated as an integrated package.
Developer-led multi-unit schemes with shared roads, services, and drainage infrastructure. Phased construction programmes co-ordinated to deliver units to market on a rolling basis while maintaining an operational site throughout.
High-throughput facilities with dock doors on opposing elevations designed for continuous goods flow. Yard layout, HGV swept paths, and service infrastructure designed for 24/7 operational intensity.
Multi-temperature distribution facilities combining ambient, chilled, and frozen zones within a single envelope. Insulated panel systems, refrigeration plant interface, and condensate management co-ordinated with the cold chain operator from pre-construction.
Facilities designed around automated storage and retrieval systems. Reinforced slab design to increased point and distributed loadings, structural tie-in points for mezzanine and racking systems, and close co-ordination with MHE vendors throughout pre-construction and construction to protect the automation commissioning programme.
Purpose-built cold storage with specialist envelope construction, vapour barrier detailing, condensate drainage, and defrost system integration. Refrigeration contractor procurement and interface managed within scope from pre-construction through to commissioning.
Urban and suburban logistics facilities on constrained sites. Design and construction managed around planning constraints, residential proximity, acoustic requirements, and EV fleet charging infrastructure.
Shell and core delivery under design and build for developer clients. Early engagement on specification, BREEAM certification target, and occupier flexibility — with programme structured around practical completion and letting milestones.
Purpose-built production facilities for precision assembly, electronics, medical devices, and high-value manufacturing. Controlled environments with specialist MEP, process utility infrastructure, and cleanroom-adjacent construction where required.
Production line facilities, assembly halls, and general manufacturing buildings. Structural design for heavy floor loadings and overhead crane infrastructure, with process ventilation and utilities co-ordinated to the occupier's operational specification.
HACCP-compliant food and beverage production facilities. Hygienic wall and floor finishes, process drainage, washdown areas, and temperature-controlled zoning designed from raw material intake through processing to despatch.
Upgrade and repurposing of existing industrial and manufacturing facilities. Re-roofing, structural strengthening, envelope upgrades, MEP replacement, and change-of-use works — delivered within live operational environments where required.
What We Build — Technical Specification
The numbers
that govern delivery
Every specification below is established at Stage 2 and locked into the design brief — ensuring consistency from design through to delivery.
Clear internal eaves height. Portal frame, multi-bay frame, and racking-driven structural design. Height determined by occupier racking strategy or developer letting brief.
Defined movement areas (DMA) to FM2 for VNA operation, or superflat to FM1 where AS/RS systems require. Designed, specified, and tested to TR34 4th edition.
ESFR sprinkler systems for standard and high-bay distribution. CMDA in-rack for automated warehousing. System design co-ordinated with racking supplier and insurance underwriter from pre-construction.
Ground-bearing and pile-supported slab design to occupier loading schedule. Heavy forklift, reach truck, high-density racking, and manufacturing plant and equipment loads co-ordinated with structural engineer from Stage 2.
How We Deliver
Programme certainty
is the product
Industrial, logistics, and manufacturing projects are governed by fixed milestones — letting dates, operational go-live, and automation commissioning windows. Our delivery model resolves risk in pre-construction and maintains programme certainty through structured controls from mobilisation to handover.
Under D&B, we lead the design team from Stage 2. Under Detail & Build or traditional procurement, Stage 3 design is taken forward into construction detail and package procurement. Structural, civil, MEP, fire, and envelope coordinated under a single BIM Execution Plan — ensuring all requirements are defined before any package is tendered.
Structural steel, cladding, dock levellers, and sprinkler systems are procured early — before design is finalised on secondary packages. Lead times on these items govern the programme. We identify, price, and place orders on long-lead packages during pre-construction to protect the critical path from day one.
4D programme developed at appointment and maintained throughout. Target cost plan with risk-weighted allowances and formal change control. Programme updated weekly from site data, cost reported monthly, and the anticipated final account maintained as a live document — giving the client full visibility at every stage.
Director-led site delivery with dedicated management, structured quality inspections, and subcontractor co-ordination throughout. Where projects include automation, MHE, or occupier fit-out — the interface between base build and follow-on contractors is managed from slab sequencing through to commissioning handover.
Structured digital handover — O&M manuals, as-built drawings, BIM model, and COBie data formatted for FM integration. Sectional completion managed where phased occupation is required. 12-month defects liability period with active management.
Manufacturing & GMP Delivery
A specialist approach for
controlled environments
For manufacturing facilities requiring controlled environments, process utility integration, or GMP compliance — our delivery approach extends into specialist methodology. Contamination control, construction-phase environmental monitoring, and IQ documentation are managed as standard on these projects.
