grabowski bbeaed7e87 Add loading dock, second gate, and phase 1 construction RFQ
Site model: two sealed dock positions on the north gable (depressed
12 m pit + 12 m ramp cut into ground and paving), water treatment
moved clear of the cooling tower, second car/staff gate on the NE
edge with access road to parking, guard house relocated between the
gates, perimeter wall rebuilt continuous on its 0.4 m inset line,
leftover door recesses filled on both envelopes, loading-apron
marking removed. Renders re-exported.

Phase 1 Construction: Rough Pricing Request

Spec sheet for asking a contractor for a budget-level price on the phase 1 buildings and site works. Quantities come from the massing model (docs/factory_building_rough.FCStd) sited on the candidate Mueang Chi parcel; everything here is planning-stage, not construction documents. In Thailand this scope is typically quoted as a PEB (pre-engineered steel building) per m² plus civil works, and the sheet is structured that way.

Context to give the contractor up front: the land is not yet purchased and zoning is unverified, so this is a budget number, not a bid.

1. Main production building

Item Spec
Type Single-storey steel portal frame (PEB), no mezzanine, no crane
Footprint 60 × 25 m = 1,500 m²
Roof Monopitch, 10° pitch, roof plane ~1,520 m², low eave 7.0 m, high side ~11.4 m
Roof load Carries a rooftop PV array (~425 modules, ~247 kWp): add ~20 kg/m² dead load plus wind uplift on racking; PV mounts on the purlins
Envelope Insulated sandwich panels, walls and roof, PIR core — EPS core excluded (fire and insurability), fire-rated class stated (FM-approved or B-s1). Roof 100 mm PIR with light-colored top skin, walls 75 mm PIR. Masonry/precast dado wall to ~2.5 m with panels above (impact, security, washdown), internally insulated so the envelope stays continuous. Taped/gasketed joints throughout — the building is air-conditioned (20–26 °C, 35–60 % RH) and must be airtight against smoke-season PM2.5. No skylights. Not bare metal sheet with blanket insulation
Floor Ground-bearing slab rated 30 kN/m² UDL, provision for machine plinths, power-floated finish
Doors 2 loading doors (insulated sectional) as sealed dock positions: dock shelters/seals plus dock levelers, so the docked trailer acts as the airlock and doors never open to outside air. Personnel entrances with vestibule; fire exits per code
Loading dock Decide before pricing: dock-height (preferred) vs ground-level. Dock-height means a recessed dock pit or ~1.2 m raised slab at the loading face — a civil-works item the contractor must include. The dispatch room behind the docks runs as a buffer climate zone, separated from the conditioned warehouse by interlocked high-speed roll doors
Interior Shell only — no internal fit-out in this price (clean room, offices etc. priced later)

On the slab spec: 30 kN/m² (3 t/m²) is the standard industrial warehouse class, not a premium — it is what the presses and pallet racking need, and stepping up from a light-duty slab adds only on the order of 100–200 THB/m². The real cost variable is the ground underneath (see soil, below). A later value-engineering option is to zone the slab — 30 kN/m² under press hall and warehouse only, lighter under offices — but for rough pricing the whole floor is specified at 30 so the number is conservative.

2. Detached utility yard

Simple industrial enclosures beside the main building.

Building Area Height
Boiler hall 66 m² 6.0 m
Biomass fuel store 42 m² 5.0 m
Chiller room 60 m² 5.0 m
Cooling tower pad (concrete pad only) 10 m² —

The 14 m flue stack comes with the boiler — excluded here. The boiler hall envelope should be non-combustible (mineral-wool panels or masonry), not PIR.

3. Site works

Item Quantity
Perimeter wall ~444 m boundary, ~2 m high block/precast, on strip footing
Main gate Piers + sliding leaf, ~8 m clear opening
Truck apron + internal circulation road Heavy-duty concrete paving, roughly 1,500–2,000 m² (rigid pavement for laden trucks)
Car/scooter parking Roofed canopies: 25 × 6 m (10 cars) + 14 × 5 m (~30 scooters), steel canopy carrying ~32 kWp PV
Guard house Small (~12 m²), insulated/AC'd, with toilet
Tank foundations Ring foundations for a 9 m dia × 4 m fire water tank (~200 m³, ~250 t full) and a 5 m dia × 3 m raw water tank, plus a small fire pump house. Tanks themselves are vendor-supplied bolted panels — foundations only
Drainage & sanitation Site stormwater drainage, domestic septic/treatment for ~25 staff

4. Exclusions

State these so the number is clean: process machinery, PV system, HVAC plant, chiller/boiler/tanks themselves, sprinkler system, internal fit-out, transformer (PEA), and land works beyond normal grading.

5. Questions the contractor will ask

  • Soil conditions: unknown — the plot is agricultural land in Mueang Chi, Lamphun, likely soft former paddy. A soil boring test (~30–50k THB) comes before any real number. For rough pricing, ask them to assume soft-to-medium Lamphun valley soil and to state the foundation assumption they price (footings vs driven piles; a piled slab can add several hundred to 1,000+ THB/m²). The soil, not the slab spec, is the main price risk in the whole package.
  • Sprinklers: OH2 sprinkler system, ring main, and hydrants are planned but not designed (see facility security). Ask whether they price it or use a specialist sub — quoted separately either way.
  • Racking height in the warehouse zone: undecided; drives the fire design, not the shell, but they may ask.
  • Permits: ask whether the price includes permit drawings by a licensed engineer for the building permit and Ror.Ngor. 4 factory license — rough shell prices usually don't.

6. What to ask for back

  • THB/m² rough range for the PEB shell at the insulated-panel spec above — not the bare-shed spec
  • A lump figure for the site works
  • The foundation/geotech assumption behind both

That is enough to sanity-check against the ~24–42M THB Thai-sourced utilities baseline in the utilities CSV; building construction is currently an unpriced line in scale.
