Our most frequent challenge is to meet ever shortening timescales, so the task was laid down to find ways of building quicker, smarter and more intelligently but without cost implication.

Logistics Manager
Undoubtedly ProShed has been a success."
Kate Bedson - Vice President Development, ProLogis UK
"The advantage for a client particularly in the third party logistics business he can go out and win a contract and be sure that a bespoke building is going to be ready to a promise in 10 weeks."
Ken Hall - Managing Director, Global Development, ProLogis UK
"I think clients will see it as a new string to our bow to enable us to react more quickly to their needs, in addition to what we already provide, so it's not replacing anything."
Kate Bedson - Vice President Development, ProLogis UK
"I see ProShed being the leader for our design process."
Dave Postins - Project Manager, ProLogis UK

ProShed: Built in flexibility

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.
