Light Industrial Architecture and Construction
Light Industrial Architecture and Construction
Industrial spaces demand more than structural strength — they require smart layouts, efficient systems, and long-term adaptability. At Alcala Architecture, we design and build light industrial buildings that support your workflow, meet operational needs, and comply with California’s strict building codes.
As a licensed architectural and general contracting firm based in Corona, we provide complete design-build services for light industrial properties throughout Southern California. From warehouse expansions to flex space development, we deliver high-performance structures designed to handle the demands of your business.
Functional Design Built for Productivity
Every light industrial facility has its own set of requirements — from clear span space for equipment to dock access, MEP coordination, and interior offices. We start by understanding your operations, then design spaces that increase efficiency and minimize bottlenecks.
- Warehouses and distribution centers
- Small-scale manufacturing facilities
- Assembly and production spaces
- Research, lab, or testing environments
- Storage and logistics hubs
- Industrial flex spaces with office integration
We consider traffic flow, equipment access, lighting, ventilation, and safety as part of the core design—not afterthoughts.
Ground-Up Construction and Site Planning
If you’re developing a new facility, we offer full-service architecture and construction for ground-up industrial builds. Our team works with you from site evaluation to final occupancy to ensure the space meets current and future needs.
- Site layout and zoning analysis
- Building placement and utility coordination
- Structural system selection
- Floorplan and loading dock design
- Permit preparation and agency approvals
- Shell construction and tenant-ready interiors
We design for durability, safety, and flexibility — with clear documentation and efficient scheduling throughout.
Industrial Tenant Improvements and Retrofits
Need to reconfigure an existing building for new use or tenants? We specialize in retrofitting and customizing light industrial spaces to suit updated requirements.
- Office build-outs within warehouse environments
- Mezzanine or equipment platform design
- Lighting, HVAC, and electrical upgrades
- ADA and fire code compliance updates
- Demising and multi-tenant space planning
- Dock, door, and ramp modifications
Our work improves usability, maximizes square footage, and ensures the space is ready for immediate occupancy.
Code Compliance and Safety Standards
Industrial spaces are subject to strict building codes for fire protection, ventilation, structural load, and worker safety. Alcala Architecture ensures that every project meets these requirements from the start — avoiding delays, rework, or compliance issues later on.
- California Building Code (CBC)
- Title 24 energy efficiency standards
- ADA accessibility guidelines
- Fire/life safety and egress codes
- Seismic and structural load requirements
- Zoning and use-specific regulations
We also coordinate closely with city officials, engineers, and safety consultants to ensure smooth plan review and approvals.
Design-Build Efficiency for Industrial Projects
Our integrated design-build delivery model offers a significant advantage for industrial projects. With both architecture and construction managed under one roof, you get faster communication, tighter cost control, and a streamlined construction timeline.
Benefits of our design-build approach:
- One team, one contract, one schedule
