Light Manufacturing and Flex Industrial in Frisco, TX

Versatile flex industrial and light manufacturing facility construction in North Texas.

Light manufacturing and flex industrial buildings serve diverse North Texas operations ranging from assembly operations to research and development facilities. These buildings combine production space, warehouse areas, and office components in configurations that support varied business models. We construct flex industrial facilities that accommodate multiple tenant types or owner-occupied operations.

Building design for flex industrial applications balances clear-span warehouse areas with office build-out zones. Adequate power infrastructure supports manufacturing equipment while maintaining flexibility for different tenant requirements. We design building shells that minimize tenant improvement costs across various use scenarios.

Floor systems for light manufacturing require consideration of point loads from equipment, forklift traffic, and material storage. While load requirements typically fall below heavy industrial applications, proper floor design prevents premature deterioration and maintains operational efficiency.

Office to warehouse ratios vary widely in flex industrial buildings. Some buildings allocate 20-30% of square footage to office space, while others minimize office areas to maximize production or storage capacity. We work with developers and end users to establish appropriate allocations during building planning.

Frequently Asked Questions

What differentiates flex industrial from standard warehouse buildings?
Flex industrial buildings typically include more office space, enhanced architectural finishes, and infrastructure supporting diverse uses including light manufacturing, assembly, distribution, and showroom applications.
What electrical service is typical for flex industrial buildings?
Electrical service varies widely based on anticipated uses. Standard flex buildings might provide 200-400 amp service per bay, while buildings targeting manufacturing users may provide enhanced power capacity.
How are flex industrial buildings typically subdivided?
Common subdivision creates 5,000 to 20,000 SF bays with individual overhead doors and demising walls allowing separate tenant occupancy. Specific configurations depend on market positioning and development strategy.
What ceiling heights work for flex industrial applications?
Clear heights typically range from 18 to 24 feet, providing warehouse functionality while controlling construction costs below high-bay distribution buildings.
