When designing and placing a new warehouse or expanding an existing one, an analysis of the initial data should be carried out. It is also important to be attentive not only to all the data about the size and specific features of the activity, but also to be fully aware of the likely limitations. Regarding site and building location, there are many factors with possible constraints that can affect decisions and logistics and therefore need to be considered. Example:

• Plot size
• Permissible area and height for construction
• The maximum distance from the building to the boundaries of the site
• Location of existing and/or planned access roads
• Communications (and their security zones) on the site both in the ground and in the air
• Soil stability
• Topography of the site and possible options for draining rainwater
• Access of fire departments to / from the buildings of the object
• Risk of shading (for tall warehouses and adjacent private plots of land)
• Area for maneuvering and parking of trucks, access to berths and possible storage of goods

At the conceptual level, general solutions are developed regarding the shape and location of the warehouse on the site. These decisions are based on needs, requirements, dimensional data and external conditions, as well as constraints.
