Industrial Construction Contractor in Whitby, ON

Henley Contracting builds light industrial and flex buildings in Whitby's employment lands along the 401 and 412. These buildings often combine a polished front office with a working space behind it, and the two need different finishes, heating and power. We plan both halves together so the building works for staff, visitors and the work itself.

Light industrial buildings in Whitby

Many Whitby industrial users are businesses that assemble, service or distribute products and also meet clients on site. The front of the building has to look the part from the road, while the back needs durable floors, big doors and the right mechanical systems.

We work with your architect to balance the two, then manage the build from site work to occupancy.

  • 01 / OFFICE FRONT

    Glazing, a clear entrance and accessible parking for visitors.

  • 02 / WORKING SPACE

    Clear floor, drive-in doors and durable finishes.

  • 03 / CLEAN PRODUCTION

    Sealed floors and ventilation for assembly or light processing.

  • 04 / TOWN APPROVALS

    Site plan and permits with the Town of Whitby.

02 / PROCESSINDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION · WHITBY

Planning a flex building

  1. Split the uses

    How much office, how much shop or warehouse.

  2. Set the systems

    Heating, ventilation and power for each part.

  3. Design the frontage

    Materials and landscaping the Town will expect.

  4. Build

    One general contractor through to occupancy.

Ventilation is part of the design

Assembly, finishing and light processing can need make-up air, exhaust or dust control. Sizing those systems with the mechanical engineer early avoids roof openings and duct runs that clash with the structure later.

Keeping visitors and trucks apart

Clients arriving at the front door should not share a lane with delivery trucks. Separate entrances, a clear route to visitor parking and a service lane to the back keep the site safe and the business looking professional.

05 / IN FOCUSINDUSTRIAL CONSTRUCTION · WHITBY

A building that represents the business

For many Whitby companies, the building is the first thing customers see. A well-designed front, good landscaping and a clear entrance tell visitors the business is established and cares about quality.
