A Grade A warehouse that was not Grade A: 620mm that cost a racking level
A 3PL operator was days from signing on a facility marketed as Grade A. Our physical verification measured clear height at eaves at 8.38m against the 9m specification in the marketing pack — a 620mm shortfall that removed an entire racking level and roughly a fifth of the storable volume. The deal was renegotiated on measured specification rather than abandoned.
What actually happened.
- Intake
Marketing pack, sanctioned plan and completion drawings collected and logged.
- Specification audit
Clear height measured at eaves at 6 points. Floor UDL certificate requested and reconciled against the FM2 flatness claim.
- Physical verification
Apron depth measured at 21.4m against the 25.5m convention for 40-foot trailers. Turning circle tested with a loaded trailer on site.
- Compliance
Fire NOC found to cover a general storage category that did not extend to the client's intended goods classification.
- Renegotiation
Findings issued as a written report. Rent renegotiated against measured specification, and the fire compliance upgrade made a landlord obligation with a dated milestone.
