Industrial warehouse construction in Felipe Carrillo Puerto
Steel frame, industrial slab and the full permit file with a single contractor.
Felipe Carrillo Puerto sits where highway 307 meets the roads to Mérida and Valladolid, in a region that produces honey, timber from community forests and agricultural goods. That junction makes it a natural distribution and storage point for the Maya zone.
A junction for the Maya zone
Distributors serving the communities of the region, building-materials yards and companies supplying the coast from the south all benefit from the junction of the 307 with the 184 and 295. We check truck access from the highway, the yard and the parking each use needs.
Honey, timber and agriculture
Honey collection centres need clean, cool storage and food-grade finishes; timber from community forestry needs covered drying and storage with good ventilation; agricultural goods need dry storage and sometimes cold rooms. The brief changes the slab, the envelope and the ventilation.
Title, karst and wind
Industrial lots need full ownership and a registered title first, because much of the land is ejido. The ground is karst, so a soil study with void verification comes before the slab is calculated; roofs and doors are designed for hurricane uplift even inland.
Budget and programme for a warehouse in Felipe Carrillo Puerto
Steel-frame warehouse with an industrial slab: MXN 6,500 to 11,000 per m², the lowest range we quote, thanks to local crews, low salt exposure and cheaper land. Cold rooms, food-grade finishes and heavy racking push towards the top.
A 600–2,000 m² warehouse takes six to nine months. Title check, SEMA and the municipal licence take two to four months together, including Protección Civil; the highway access and the CFE load increase run in parallel.
Scope: from the soil study to a warehouse in operation
We cover the soil mechanics study, architectural and structural design, an industrial slab calculated against the real racking layout, roof and envelope, electrical installation with back-up, plumbing, fire protection, offices, manoeuvring yard and site works. We file land use, licence and Protección Civil sign-off with the responsible engineer, and manage the load increase with CFE.
The budget comes out as line items with quantities and unit rates; every change is priced and signed before execution and payments go against verified progress. We hand over as-built drawings, structural and slab calculation records, and equipment manuals.
What actually decides the cost of a warehouse
Not the square metres: the slab loading, the clear structural span, the usable height and the yard. A larger span saves columns and improves operations but makes the structure more expensive; a badly sized slab forces demolition with racking installed. So we start from the operating layout — racking, forklifts, truck flow — and size from there, not the other way round.
Weekly reports with dated photographs and a fortnightly video call from site, in Spanish, English, German, French, Russian or Chinese. We work with operators and investors who do not live in the area and need to follow the works remotely.
The ground in Felipe Carrillo Puerto: what it imposes on the project
- Municipality: Felipe Carrillo Puerto
- Environmental regime: SEMA (state) + municipal; CONANP inside Sian Ka’an
- Ground: karst limestone with thin red soil
- Water table: mid depth
- Salt exposure: low
Much of the land is ejido: before buying, confirm full ownership (dominio pleno) and a registered title. The eastern part of the municipality lies in the Sian Ka’an biosphere reserve.
- Ejido land: confirm dominio pleno and a title registered in the Public Property Registry before paying anything; a transfer of ejido rights is not a deed.
- Inland heat without sea breeze: orientation, deep eaves, cross-ventilation and roof insulation do more than extra air-conditioning tonnage.

Frequently asked questions
Why build a warehouse in Felipe Carrillo Puerto?
Because it is the road junction for the Maya zone, with access to the coast, Mérida and Valladolid, and the lowest land and construction costs in the state.
Can you build a honey collection or timber storage facility?
Yes. Honey needs clean, cool, food-grade storage; timber needs covered, ventilated drying space. We design the envelope and ventilation for the product.
What structural span is best?
The one that allows the operation with the fewest columns within budget. In a warehouse with selective racking, spans of twenty to thirty metres are usually the balance point; beyond that, steel grows faster than the operational benefit. It is decided with the layout in hand, not from a catalogue.
Do you include the manoeuvring yard and site works?
Yes, and we budget them as their own line items because they weigh. Pavement with a thickness for tractor-trailers, storm drainage, lighting, a gatehouse, fencing and access are real costs that sometimes approach thirty per cent of the total and are forgotten in quick quotations.
