When youre going to take a warehouse in chennai
for rent, you need to be careful to avoid making
any mistakes that could cause problems down the
line. There are a few things you should keep in
mind when youre looking for a warehouse for rent
in chennai, and weve outlined four of the worst
mistakes you can make while renting a warehouse
in chennai.

• Worst mistakes you can make while renting a
  warehouse in chennai
• 1. Location Real estate is all about location,
  location, and location. Whenever you look for
  Renting a Warehouse in Chennai look for a
  location that has
• Good access from the highway
• Public transport
• Basic social good infrastructure
• Good roads
• Water facility/ sources
• Easy entry and exit

Logistics defines your location Being accessible
is one of the fundamental requirements for
choosing a property for a storage facility. For
example in the case of Chennai, a location for an
E-Commerce distribution center alongside
Poonamallee is considered central is highly
preferred due to ease of access to multiple zones
from there Raw Material The first and most
important aspect that goes into choosing a
property is to identify from where and how your
raw material will arrive. Raw materials may
arrive by road, rail, air, or by seaport.
Depending on these, it is advisable to choose a
location to ensure that the procurement/ arrival
of raw material is made easy. For example, for a
thermal power plant, it is imperative to be close
to a seaport if the coal arrival is by
ships Demand Supply factor of your produce/
product/ service The consumption (demand) factor
needs to be considered when choosing the location
of a property. The supply could be for local or
domestic consumption or export and this should
define the ease of supplying the material as per
the demand enters.

• The demand zones play an important factor in
  determining the location of a warehouse. For
  instance, an e-commerce giant has a hub in the
  heart of the city in Chennai at MKB Nagar as it
  can easily cater to most of its high-demand areas
  across several zones.
• 2. Size A basic understanding of the size needed
  is very essential when you look for a warehouse
  for rent in Chennai. A storage facility that is
  too small will be cramped and will be uneasy to
  manage. A very large property will be wasting
  space and also will be a financial drain on
  unutilized space.
• The shape of the warehouse should make it
  efficient to utilize. The outer open areas should
  have some state-of-the-art landscaping, parking,
  good driveways. Optimum size is required to be
  taken into account so that rentals are saved on
  wasteful spaces and yet space is not less for
  manufacturing/ processing/ storage etc. We need
  to plan and calculate spaces for
• Common parameters Loading and unloading area
  Flow of material (ease of) Processing space
  movement of men and machines Office space/
  meeting rooms/ cabins/ dining areas/ waiting
  areas etc Restrooms/retiring rooms/ security
  rooms/ toilets/ first aid room etc External
  areas for parking for staff vehicles and heavy
  vehicles Setbacks for fire engine movement/
  water sewage facilities etc

• Warehouses for rent in Chennai has high demand
  material will naturally mean a huge amount of
  stocks being stored. This thus dictates the size
  of the warehouse required apart from the above
• Manufacturing It is important to consider
  sufficient spaces for storage of raw material,
  line of manufacturing, and storage of finished
  goods.
• 3. Budget Businesses have certain
  affordability. It is important to understand
  where the goods are coming from and where they
  are going. Last-mile transportation can be very
  expensive and therefore for retail and multiple
  deliveries it is imperative to be closer to the
  city and pay more.
• For lesser frequent deliveries and larger
  packages, it may be more economical to pay lower
  rents away from cities. Properties that are
  better located with better facilities will
  command a higher rental and those that are built
  for a particular (customized) use will command
  even higher rentals. The rentals depend on
  factors such as

• Location a location closer to the city/ demand
  center will command higher rentals
• Quality of the structure/ property depending on
  age and suitability, the rental will vary
• Specifications A property with better features
  will command a better rental detailed in
  another document
• Internalgood Infrastructure available within the
  property
• Demand and Supply A location where demand
  outstrips supply will command a higher rental
• 4. Height It is important to use a warehouse in
  cubic feet rather than in square feet and height
  at the eaves or side height could help to stack
  and to rack and make your warehouse in Chennai
  highly efficient financially. A floor height of
  1.2 meters is needed for sheds where the material
  is delivered by trailers and container vehicles
  which lower dock height is needed for delivery
  using smaller vehicles
• 5. Shutters, docks, and dock doors To enable
  faster and more efficient movement of goods into
  and out of your warehouse for rent in Chennai, it
  may be important to have more dock doors and have
  them at the right locations to enable multiple
  vehicles for loading and unloading at the same
  time to enable warehouse services

• 6. Safety parameters A state-of-the-art
  warehouse for rent in Chennai should have all
  approvals in place. NOCs including Fire NoCs etc
  should be in place. Following government norms
  ensure the safety of occupants and goods and
  material. Fire hydrants, sprinklers, emergency
  exit doors save money and problems though
  expensive initially.
• 7. Financials, Market intelligence the right
  people to work with A warehouse in a new
  location means that you need to know the right
  price to pay as a rental. Market intelligence on
  local problems and issues will save you the wrath
  of problem creators. Always choose a local expert
  or a warehouse expert broker who knows all
  warehouses and all warehouse owners in the local
  market and he can help you with the above.
