How do you assess a building for storage or small-scale production in Spain?

Assess storage and production against actual goods and operations. High ceilings and large doors do not show floor capacity, fire arrangements or connection costs.

Before the transaction, compare future operations with the property condition. An assessment helps identify constraints before equipment orders and questions to resolve with the owner. Estimate preparation costs after assessing the necessary changes.

Which information is needed before a viewing?

Prepare product, packaging, volume and process details. Storage height and density matter for warehousing; equipment, emissions and waste matter for production. Fire assessment follows the actual activity and applicable regime, not the advert’s property label.

What should I check on site?

Assess floors, racks, forklift routes, loading doors and truck manoeuvring. Check electrical capacity, ventilation and service routes. Previous operation does not prove suitability for a new process. For alterations, establish current and transitional requirements.

What should the pre-contract assessment include?

Prepare a dimensioned plan and check the following parts of the project:

• goods and processes
• loads and racking
• fire arrangements
• loading and transport
• utilities and waste

For each item, establish the existing condition, required change and feasibility. Request equipment data and maintenance conditions. Where information is missing, record a survey question rather than confirmed feasibility. Photographs and seller assurances do not replace an inspection.

Which documents should I compare with the property?

Compare existing plans, approved use and work records with actual conditions. Establish procedures for the chosen activity and alterations. Previous documents provide useful inputs, but their applicability to the new project needs separate checking. Resolve shared-element works and access rights before contractual commitments.

What else should I check in Valencia?

Determine procedures for the specific address and project. City of Valencia conditions do not automatically apply to other municipalities in the province. Before works, clarify permitted use, required technical documents and the conditions for starting operations.

What if the property is already selected or work has started?

First record discrepancies between the concept, documents and actual property. Separate necessary corrections from optional changes. Then compare alternatives by work scope and operational effects. Do not repeat finishes or pay for potentially unsuitable equipment before identifying the cause.

How can NEXEVO help establish the next steps?

NEXEVO can assess the property’s documentary and technical condition and coordinate relevant specialists. Findings help identify constraints, investigations and the sequence of design. Feasibility depends on the property and chosen format.

Contact NEXEVO for a property assessment before a transaction, equipment order or further works.
