Through ProShed, ProLogis is striving to achieve a better and more time and cost effective construction progress.
The use of prefabricated parts is a paramount to both quality and speed of construction. Manufactured in a controlled environment, the parts are tested and checked prior to delivery on site, ensuring the right quality every time. |

We actually constructed the office in five days by using pre-casted concrete walls. In the old practice we would have brick layers and taking the time and getting the quality right was very hard whereas with this the quality is there straight away because it is done in a factory environment. The lift shaft was pre-cast that was delivered on site and we actually constructed that within two hours of delivery."
Ian Oliver - Planning Manager, Winvic |

"It's something I've never seen before and it's the way forward for me and for the amount of money it cost it's just fantastic. I'd love to see more of it."
Dave Postins - Project Manager, ProLogis UK |
|
"And we've adopted an insulated pre-cast concrete wall around the dock shelf area that will allow a smooth face for everything to connect to."
David Ward - Operations Director, Winvic |
|
"This is a packaged - pre made plant room. One of the major issues is that we generally couldn't start until the building is water tight by pre-fabricating away from here we can start the minute we've got a tenant and a design. Plant rooms normally take three to six weeks to install, this takes three hours."
David Mills - Project Manger Services, Prologis UK |
|
"We had the plasterers down here on Wednesday to show them 'yes, you'll be plastering here on Monday' and they looked at us as if we're from a different planet. Then they came to site on Monday and they couldn't believe what we had achieved in the five days."
Ian Oliver - Planning Manager, Winvic |
|
"We have engaged the best contractors, all the key trades to deliver the right quality"
Dave Postins - Project Manager, ProLogis UK |
|
"And you actually get the quality all the time, every time."

It just simplifies the whole construction process because you're not then having to lay down materials on mud and stone it just organises the site and makes the site logistics much, much more logical."
Dave Postins - Project Manager, ProLogis UK |
|
"The guys aren't wading through heaps of mud to get to work. They are actually clean and tidy and the lorries are being driven on to site nice and clean."
Ian Oliver - Planning Manager, Winvic |
|
"Everyone's happier and the efficiency and productivity will increase."
David Ward - Operations Director, Winvic |
|
"Historically, to achieve a faster program, we would use increased labour resources, whereas here we have looked at simplifying the approach."
Maurice Dalton - First Vice president Commercial/procurement, Prologis UK |
|
"What you'll see on this job is that there are not thousands of men running around like headless chickens. The whole process has been designed to be built quickly and efficiently."
David Ward - Operations Director, Winvic |
|
"The new innovations mean with everything being pre-cast we haven't needed to work tremendous hours."
Ian Oliver - Planning Manager, Winvic |
|
"It's co-ordinated. They all work together in sequence and you get to the end quicker, safer, swifter and out."
Anthony Baker - Managing Director, AB Steel Erections Ltd |
|
"The use of prefabricated parts gives you decent quality no matter how quick the speed of construction is on site."
Fergie Taylor - Vice President Commercial, ProLogis UK |
|
"Components that are needed in week four can start immediately when the program has started on site."
David Ward - Operations Director, Winvic |
|
"So when this thing comes to site, there are no surprises. We have got absolute certainty of production, certainty of quality."
Ken Hall - Managing Director, Global Development, ProLogis UK |

Apex Park, Daventry |
|
In the summer of 2004 ProShed was used for a 175,000 ft² distribution centre for JD Weatherspoon/Exel at Apex Park, Daventry. One of the features of this development was the need for a large proportion of the property to be refrigerated, requiring additional work to insulate the base and specialist construction. ProShed proved to be the ideal process. The steel work and roof took just four weeks allowing the refrigeration team to start work undercover.
The way that ProShed is managed allows the flexibility for variations from standard to be accommodated. In fact the benefits of ProShed is that it enables additional tailored solutions to be carried out more easily than when using traditional building methods. |
