Commercial Coverages

Journeyman Draughting are experienced at producing Commercial Coverages for industrial and office sites. These are useful for determining the “land value” of a site for sale, and can form the first stage of a Planning Application, for discussion with the planners. This experience combined with a MA in Urban Design means our layouts are both aesthetic and commercially realistic.

Some of the Industrial projects that I worked on at Project Design Partnership.

Usually the shape of the site, the access point/points and the topography will dictate the layout but rectangular/square sites may yield several options. Different layouts, different numbers of units with a spread of sizes will affect the eventual site coverage. These two layouts differ by 0.1% in the overall coverage.

Example -Coverage

Epsom, Surrey

  • Backland site assembled from several small pieces
  • 2 points of access
  • Overlooked
  • Limited to west by large retaining wall.
