5 ways to save significantly on your new industrial building

1. Permits that consume months (and money)

Building a standard industrial structure always requires permits. This means: compiling a dossier, waiting for approval, handling possible objections… Before you know it, many months have passed. All this time, you have to manage without the extra storage or production space.

• With a temporary tent structure or demountable building from Veldeman, permits are usually not required. Even when they are, the permitting process is much smoother than for traditional construction projects.

2. Heavy foundations, heavy bills

A traditional building often requires an extensive foundation to support the weight and loads of the structure, with all the associated costs: stability studies, groundworks, assembling and pouring concrete on site. One miscalculation or mistake during pouring can lead to a significant financial setback.

• A Veldeman structure requires little or no foundation. This not only reduces initial construction costs but also saves time: less site work means your company can become operational much faster.

3. The longer the construction time, the greater the risk of delays

Structural work for conventional industrial projects can take months and is highly sensitive to delays due to heavy site activity and multiple parties involved. Every week of delay directly reduces productivity. Moreover, your contractors have little to no control over most potential delays, such as bad weather, widespread delivery issues, or scheduling errors by subcontractors or suppliers.

• A Veldeman tent structure can be up and running in just a few days to a few weeks, fully customized to your needs. No costly downtime, just almost immediately available extra capacity close to your existing operations.

4. The snowball effect of a non-future-proof building

A permanent, well-founded building may seem like a good option in the short or medium term. But during business growth or a shift in future strategy, it can quickly become a major obstacle.

Operational and logistical extra costs accumulate due to growing inefficiencies. Think of the need for additional storage at an external site, including transport and rental costs, or suboptimal use of your existing buildings. All of these are avoidable extra costs that your company can’t afford during growth or change.

• Veldeman structures are modular, scalable, and relocatable. Expanding, downsizing, or moving? Our solutions adapt quickly and flexibly to your company’s future plans.

5. Unpredictable total cost of ownership

An industrial building not only requires a high initial investment but also entails less visible long-term costs, such as maintenance, insurance, or longer fiscal depreciation periods.

• Choosing a Veldeman tent structure keeps your TCO low and predictable. You only pay for the space you truly need and can adjust your structure flexibly and cost-efficiently if necessary.
