The contract that started the conversation
The client was a growing third-party logistics operator who had just won a large e-commerce anchor contract — one of those wins that changes the trajectory of a business, provided you can deliver the physical infrastructure on time. The anchor's pick-and-pack ramp was scheduled for the coming peak season, and the client needed 35,000 sq ft of Grade-A warehouse space in Jeedimetla, delivered before it began.
Every week of delay meant paying penalties to the anchor or, worse, losing the contract to a competitor with faster shovels in the ground. They came to us with a purchase order in hand and a seven-month clock they couldn't move.
What we agreed to deliver
The scope was tight: clear-span PEB structure with 10-metre eaves height for VNA (very narrow aisle) racking, five dock levellers with sectional overhead doors sized for standard container drops, epoxy-coated FM2-rated flooring throughout, ESFR sprinkler system, LED high-bay lighting, and a first-floor office block for shift supervisors and the anchor's on-site quality team.
Fixed inclusive-GST price. Statutory clearances (TSPCB, Fire NOC, occupancy certificate) included and delivered on the same day as physical handover — not the industry-standard 'come back in three weeks' handoff. That last point mattered because the anchor's racking contractor was booked to mobilise the Monday after our OC date.
Site prep, structure, and flooring
The first three weeks were parallel: soil bearing test and contour survey on site, filings with GHMC, TSPCB, and the Chief Fire Officer through our statutory team. Design freeze on structural and MEP happened by end of week three so PEB fabrication could start immediately.
Weeks 4–14 ran the structural work. PEB shop fabrication happened while site foundations were being cast — a six-week erection window followed by roof and wall panel installation over the next four. The FM2 epoxy floor was cast in three phases, deliberately, so MEP, sprinkler, and dock-leveller teams could work in parallel with civil finishing.
MEP, statutory, and the OC on handover day
Weeks 15–24 were MEP-heavy: sprinkler commissioning, LED high-bay install, HV panel commissioning, and dock leveller install and load-testing. In parallel we ran the Fire NOC audit and the TSPCB inspection. Both cleared on first attempt — no re-inspections, no revisits.
Weeks 25–28 were the punch-list, occupancy certificate, and physical handover. The racking contractor mobilised the following Monday exactly as planned, and the client's operational load-in commenced week 29 — three weeks ahead of the contracted date.
The number that mattered to the CFO
Cost variance from the quoted budget: 0%. No material-cost pass-throughs, no scope-change invoices, no 'we found something on site' surcharges. The number we quoted at PO was the number the client paid at handover.
That kind of price discipline is why the CFO signed us for a second facility six months later, this time in Sangareddy — a project we're currently mid-build on.
