What should I consider when assisting a client in finding an industrial unit to purchase

When helping a client find an industrial property to purchase, important factors include road and ramp accessibility, loading and unloading facilities (for example, dock levellers and sheltered areas), as well as ceiling height and floor loading capacity. Mezzanine or column-free space, availability of cargo or goods lifts, incoming electrical supply (low or high tension), water supply, fire sprinklers, and specialised equipment like hoists or overhead cranes may also be relevant. Ancillary needs such as forklift or heavy-vehicle parking, racking systems, and handling of chemicals or exhaust should be checked. Proximity to population centers or public transportation can also be crucial, depending on the client’s operational requirements.
