Know which industrial design-build leads deserve a site walk
Before you commit a site walk, know the facility type, project stage, and site control status, plus specialized system needs like heavy power or refrigeration. Upload site plans and existing conditions photos so your team walks in prepared, not guessing.
The exact intake your industrial design-build leads complete
This is the real 6-question guided intake for Industrial Design-Build — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified industrial design-build lead should tell you
A combined design-and-build engagement for industrial facilities such as warehouses, manufacturing plants, and cold storage buildings, where the intake needs to confirm facility type, project stage, site control, and any specialized systems before a site walk gets scheduled.
- Industrial Facility This Project
- Current Stage This Project
- Have Control Or Ownership
- How Large Planned Facility
- Decision-Maker Who Can Approve
- There Any Specialized Systems
The questions your team needs answered
Every industrial design-build intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| What type of industrial facility is this project for? | Facility type determines whether the project fits your team's warehouse, manufacturing, or cold-storage build experience before you commit design resources. |
| What is the current stage of this project? | Knowing whether the project is at concept stage or site-selected tells you how much design runway is left and whether early involvement is expected. |
| Do you have control of or ownership over the project site? | Site control status separates owners who can move to design and permitting now from prospects still assembling a parcel, which changes how soon a site walk makes sense. |
| Approximately how large is the planned facility in square feet? | Facility square footage isn't scored, but it lets your team route the lead to the right size of design and construction crew before the first conversation. |
| Are you the decision-maker who can approve contracts for this project? | Confirming the respondent can approve contracts prevents your team from running a full site walk for someone who still needs to loop in an owner or board. |
| Are there any specialized systems required, such as heavy power, refrigeration, or specialized ventilation? | Flagging heavy power, refrigeration, or specialized ventilation needs upfront lets your estimating and MEP teams scope the project correctly before the site visit. |

Built for industrial design-build workflows
| Cliont capability | Industrial Design-Build application |
|---|---|
| Weighted scoring engine | Automatically prioritizes warehouse, manufacturing, and cold-storage facility leads that are site-selected or ready to build, so site walks go to projects matched to your build capacity. |
| Conditional multi-select fields | Captures required specialized systems like heavy power, refrigeration, or specialized ventilation upfront, so your estimators know before the first call whether the project needs MEP-heavy design. |
| Decision-maker & site-control flags | Surfaces whether the respondent can approve contracts and whether the site is already controlled, so you don't schedule a site walk with someone who can't move the deal forward. |
| CRM routing | Sends qualified industrial project inquiries directly into your CRM with facility type, stage, and size context attached, instead of a bare contact-form email. |
Common industrial design-build lead scenarios
Early-Concept Warehouse Inquiry
An owner submits interest in a new distribution center while still at concept stage; the intake captures facility type and project stage so your team can gauge whether early design involvement fits your pipeline before scheduling a walk.
Ready-to-Build Manufacturing Plant
Design is already complete on a large manufacturing plant and the owner controls the site; the intake surfaces facility size and specialized systems needs so estimators arrive prepared instead of scoping blind.
Site Not Yet Secured
A developer is interested in an industrial build but hasn't closed on the parcel yet; the site-control answer flags this as a project that needs a follow-up before a site walk gets scheduled.
Non-Decision-Maker Exploratory Contact
A facilities manager fills out the form on behalf of ownership but can't approve contracts; the intake still captures facility type and stage but flags the lead for a qualifying call before committing site-walk time.
Cold Storage Refrigeration Scope
A processing facility inquiry selects refrigeration and heavy power as required systems; the intake routes this detail to your CRM so the right MEP-experienced team is looped in before the first site visit.

Industrial Design-Build lead-intake FAQs
Does the intake penalize projects that are still in concept or early planning?
No — concept and early-planning stage projects are treated as high-value in the scoring signals for this subservice, since design-build engagements often start before a design is finalized; the intake just flags the stage so your team knows how much runway is left.
What happens if the owner doesn't control the site yet?
The site-control question is weighted heavily; leads where the respondent doesn't yet own or control the site still reach your CRM but score lower on readiness, so you can decide whether to nurture the contact before booking a site walk.
How does the intake capture specialized systems like refrigeration or heavy power?
A multi-select question lets the respondent flag heavy power, refrigeration, specialized ventilation, or none of these, so that detail arrives with the lead instead of surfacing for the first time on-site.
Can I tell whether the person filling out the form can actually approve the contract?
Yes — a dedicated decision-maker question distinguishes owners who can sign off from staff gathering information on their behalf, which affects how the lead is prioritized for a site walk.
Is this different from the intake for Commercial Design-Build?
Yes — Industrial Design-Build asks about facility type, specialized systems, and site control specific to industrial builds, while sibling services like Commercial Design-Build, Preconstruction Services, and Constructability Review use their own qualification sets.
Does facility square footage affect the lead score?
Square footage is collected as a single-choice range but isn't weighted in the current scoring signals; it's used to give your team sizing context for staffing and estimating before you engage.
