A closer look
Warehouse owners lease space quickly, so schedules are tight. Slab quality and fire protection approvals often control the finish.
Where to start
Plan slab pours and sprinkler approvals early.
An example
A GC coordinated rack layouts with sprinkler design. Approvals came quickly.
Common mistakes
Poor slab finish, late dock equipment and sprinkler conflicts.
What to track
Track slab pours and dock installs.
Questions to ask
What racking is planned? What slab spec? When is fire approval?
Who owns it
The PM manages procurement; superintendent drives slab and site work.
Pricing and risk
Slab quality and fire protection approvals carry high risk. Price flatness requirements properly and confirm racking plans early to avoid sprinkler redesigns.
