Consultation & Site Survey
Warehouse Site Survey and Consultation Services
Choosing racking, shelving, mezzanines, or conveyors without measuring your building first invites costly mistakes. At Bob's Commercial, every project starts with a professional warehouse site survey, so our recommendations reflect your real space, inventory, and workflow. Our team in Newark, NJ reviews your facility, storage needs, and safety requirements before suggesting any system.
Schedule a consultation and site survey today to receive expert recommendations tailored to your warehouse and operational goals.

What Is a Warehouse Site Survey?
It is a detailed, on-site review of your facility. We look at floor space, vertical clearance, building conditions, inventory, and equipment movement. Think of it as a hands-on warehouse evaluation that turns real conditions into a practical storage and material-handling plan.
The survey pairs with a warehouse consultation. The consultation is where we listen to your goals, products, budget, and growth plans. The survey is where we verify them in person.
What the Consultation and Survey Cover
A complete facility survey typically includes:
Facility measurements and available space
Inventory sizes, weights, and quantities
Workflow from receiving to shipping
Forklift, employee, and access-route analysis
Inspection of existing racking or shelving for damage and safety concerns
Load requirements for racking, shelving, and mezzanines
Code and permit considerations
Recommendations matched to your budget and growth plans
How the Process Works
Initial warehouse consultation: We discuss your operation, challenges, and goals.
On-site survey: We measure the space, observe workflow, and document conditions.
Warehouse assessment: We analyze space use, safety, and efficiency to find what is holding your operation back.
Recommendations: We present options that fit your building, inventory, and budget.
Next steps: Findings feed directly into warehouse layout design, engineering, permitting, and installation.
Better Warehouse Space Planning Starts With Accurate Data
Sound warehouse space planning relies on measurements, not estimates. We complete a warehouse layout assessment covering aisle widths, rack positions, and pick paths. Our warehouse assessment also compares what you have today with what your operation needs.
Many clients use the results as a warehouse improvement plan, a prioritized list of changes to phase in as budgets allow.
