Case study: New Transbozen warehouse
Advanced logistics and industrial development · Mozzecane (Verona)
Efficient, sustainable logistics infrastructure, without compromising time, quality or operational continuity
In Mozzecane, Transbozen (opens in a new tab) commissioned a new climate-controlled logistics warehouse of around 42,000 m², developed alongside the subdivision plan for the site.

The brief
The project arose from the need to obtain, quickly, a facility able to meet the standards required by the client and by today’s logistics market: high operational efficiency, lower running costs, control of energy consumption, indoor comfort and the highest level of safety for the people who work in the complex every day.
The real design issue was not just building a large warehouse. The challenge was to create an integrated system in which architecture, building services, logistics, safety and the permitting process came together in a single operating model consistent with the project’s business plan.
The challenge: controlling time
The main critical issue was control of the schedule.
The complexity of the permitting process, the need to coordinate site infrastructure with the building, and the tight targets set by the programme all threatened the time, cost and commissioning of the facility.
Continuous coordination
To guarantee speed of delivery and quality control, a system of continuous coordination was set up between client, designers, contractors and specialist consultants. The whole process was developed through integrated multidisciplinary design and BIM modelling, used not as a mere drawing tool but as an operational platform for control and verification.
From model to site
Constant model sharing, frequent coordination meetings and the integration of architecture, structure, building services and fire safety reduced clashes, errors and variations during construction, while speeding up both the production of construction drawings and the permitting process.
Production infrastructure
The building was designed as true production infrastructure. Spatial, building services and energy choices were aimed not only at immediate technical performance, but at lowering operating costs over the building’s life cycle and simplifying maintenance.
Climate control, energy management, the organisation of logistics flows, natural and artificial lighting, and high fire safety standards were all developed as parts of a single coordinated system.
The result
A benchmark for indoor environmental quality, operational comfort, energy efficiency and maintainability
The project shows how a quality-driven corporate culture, combined with firm control of the design and construction process, can turn a logistics building into a strategic tool that genuinely supports the company’s operating model.
More than just a warehouse, the project is infrastructure designed to last, to adapt as production needs evolve, and to retain the value, efficiency and quality of the workplace over time.
