Working either as a single discipline or as a multidiscipline team we have a wealth of experience delivering industrial buildings of all sizes, including temperature-controlled facilities or large-scale advanced manufacturing spaces. Our multidisciplinary teams consist of project management, cost consultancy, planning, architectural, mechanical and electrical, structural and civil engineering, sustainability, geospatial and other expert teams.
Within the UK and Ireland markets, we provide a ‘one-stop-shop’ working with our in-house teams to deliver developments from inception to completion, for green and brownfield sites.
Our specialist BREEAM and Net Zero Carbon advisors work with clients on the best strategies to achieve their targets, balancing cost implications against genuine environmental benefits.


The Industrial and Logistics market is a fast-moving, recently volatile and demanding sector, which has led to an accelerated supply of units across the country. Developers and end-users need space built to their requirements that deliver their business needs – and the sites are becoming increasingly challenging.
We react quickly, smartly, and efficiently to integrate end-users’ or tenants’ enhancements into speculative, pre-let or occupier-owned units. We have experience of integrating tenants’ works during the build phase of speculative units, whilst assisting ‘Agreement for Lease’ discussions and upfront tenant negotiations.
We understand the importance of managing clients’ and tenant’s’ requirements to ensure facilities meet operational demands.
We liaise early on with agents, specialists and the supply chain on the feasibility of projects to ensure their viability. Using our knowledge and expertise, we appraise projects and create execution plans to achieve the objectives, ensuring the smooth, efficient delivery against any constraints. This experience proves to be invaluable for our clients.
Ridge delivers clad-rack projects across the UK and Ireland on behalf of end-users and developers.
We have completed several unique projects with specialist providers, facilitating the safe installation of complex structures to satisfy end-users. We also work alongside automation providers to integrate requirements into the base build delivery.
The Industrial and Logistics market is ever-changing, challenged by increasing land prices and sustainability targets. Our teams deliver speculative and pre-let units, in all sizes, for repeat clients and individual commissions.
As part of the overall aim to reduce carbon emissions, we are closely involved in refurbishing and regenerating existing buildings to reduce materials and maximise under-used existing stock.
We play an integral part in many of our schemes, supporting the developer to engage with the end user.
This results in a detailed understanding of the tenant’s business and the fit out required to support its delivery. Our experienced Ridge teams assist with negotiations between landlord and tenant in order to agree the most efficient way to complete the fit out works and the best way to integrate them into the base build.
We look forward to collaborating on your logistics and distribution project.
