FAQs
What exactly is a flex industrial building?
A flex industrial building combines warehouse, light manufacturing, office, and sometimes retail space into a single, adaptable structure. These spaces are typically small-bay (under 75,000 SF), have multiple entry points, and are designed to serve a variety of tenant types — from service-based businesses to last-mile logistics operators.
Can you help if I already have land but don’t know what to build?
Absolutely. We specialize in helping landowners and investors evaluate the best use for their property. Our team can run feasibility studies, provide yield optimization, and model multiple flex configurations based on market demand, access, and entitlements.
How is FlexPro different from a general contractor or design firm?
FlexPro is a full-service development partner — not just a contractor or architect or engineer. We manage your project from raw land to delivered asset, coordinating all civil engineering, entitlements, architectural design, and construction. Our single-point-of-contact model ensures accountability, transparency, and speed — without you having to manage vendors or approvals yourself.
What is the typical cost for your services?
Our turnkey services typically range between 6%–10% of total hard costs, depending on the project scope, location, and delivery speed. We can also structure flat-fee development agreements or phase-based billing depending on your capital stack.
How long does it take to go from land to completed building?
The full development timeline typically ranges from 21 to 36 months.
Entitlements, engineering, and design generally take 9 to 18 months, depending on the city or county’s review process, utility coordination, and any zoning modifications required.
Construction typically takes 12 to 18 months, depending on project complexity, permitting timelines, site conditions, and required infrastructure improvements.
Do I need to manage any part of the process?
No. FlexPro handles the full scope — including consultant coordination, permitting, design oversight, vendor procurement, and construction management. You receive milestone updates every two weeks and direct access to your dedicated project manager.
10 Common mistakes we see
Pre-Development & Feasibility Mistakes
1. Underestimating entitlement timelines
Problem: Cities and counties may take 12–18 months (or longer) to process zoning changes, site plan reviews, and public hearing cycles. Plan accordingly. Regulation is getting worse day after day.
FlexPro Fix: We start entitlement coordination immediately, with a timeline built into early feasibility planning and regular city engagement.
2. Acquiring land with poor utility access
Problem: Land may appear developable but lacks sufficient water/sewer capacity, easements, or connection points. DO NOT BUY UNTIL YOU HAVE THIS SORTED OUT!
FlexPro Fix: Every site is vetted through infrastructure capacity studies up front, before money is committed to design or acquisition.
3. Assuming one building layout fits all
Problem: Not all flex users want the same proportions of office, warehouse, and dock access.
FlexPro Fix: We create test-fit plans that account for tenant mix, loading needs, and future adaptability.
Entitlements & Regulatory Mistakes
4. Not coordinating public agencies early
Problem: Late discovery of off-site improvements, traffic study triggers, or utility extension costs.
FlexPro Fix: We coordinate across departments (planning, engineering, utilities, public works) and resolve concerns before formal submittal. A first meeting with the county and city goes a long way in planning.
5. Ignoring local development incentives or constraints
Problem: Developers miss opportunities for tax incentives or fail to address overlay districts or special requirements.
FlexPro Fix: Our entitlement partners perform full code analysis and leverage local incentive knowledge.
Design & Engineering Mistakes
6. Overdesigning site infrastructure
Problem: Engineers may design for worst-case scenarios, leading to excessive grading, oversized detention, or redundant utilities.
FlexPro Fix: Our value engineering process includes peer review, stormwater optimization, and phasing strategies.
7. Disjointed civil and architectural coordination
Problem: Site plans don’t match building plans, causing utility conflicts, elevation issues, or fire lane noncompliance. Architects and civil engineers MUST plan and design as a team and not one before the other.
FlexPro Fix: Our team synchronizes civil and vertical design in parallel and uses clash detection software to reduce field changes.
Construction & Execution Mistakes
8. Delays from long-lead materials
Problem: Projects get held up waiting on switchgear, steel, HVAC, or specialty materials.
FlexPro Fix: We identify and preorder long-lead items during design to stay ahead of supply constraints.
9. Weak contractor oversight
Problem: Without strong owner-side management, timelines slip, costs balloon, and quality suffers.
FlexPro Fix: We use critical path scheduling, milestone tracking, and detailed pay application reviews to keep projects accountable.
10. Neglecting closeout and turnover planning
Problem: Projects drag on due to missed inspections, incomplete punchlists, or missing documentation.
FlexPro Fix: Closeout is planned months in advance, with clear deliverables for as-builts, warranties, and O&M manuals.
