BTS for Answear: Scalable Fulfillment Center in Krakow

We completed a build-to-suit project for Answear in Kraków, designed with intensive fulfillment operations and long-term scalability in mind. The facility combines warehouse and office space, and its layout has been tailored to daily operations, high storage density, and the growth of e-commerce processes.

Challenges

What challenges did we face in this project?

High-intensity operations

The project had to support a fulfillment environment characterized by high operational density and high process efficiency.

Multi-level mezzanine and heavy loads

The facility required a multi-level mezzanine structure with high floor load-bearing capacity and a flexible operational layout.

Adaptation to permanent employment and formal requirements

It was essential to meet the standards for permanent work and to complete the approval process, including obtaining the necessary exemption from technical requirements.

How we carried out the project

Efficient HVAC systems

We completed a mezzanine with a total area of 20,000 m², which significantly increased operational capacity and improved space utilization.

Technical specifications supporting a flexible layout

The facility was designed with a floor load capacity of up to 6.5 t/m² and a clear height of 10.70 m, which supports demanding operational layouts.

Adaptation to permanent employment and formal support

7R completed the process of obtaining the necessary exemption from technical requirements, which enabled the implementation of the final functional layout in accordance with the client's requirements.
