For GCs, developers and building-product distributors
Your gear lands months before the building can take it.
100,000+ sq ft in southeast Calgary for the long-lead product a project orders early and cannot install yet — elevators, appliances, HVAC, flooring, tile, fixtures, fencing — held dry and damage-free until the site calls it in.
Does Rolls Right warehouse construction and building products in Calgary?
Yes. Rolls Right's Calgary warehouse at 4770 68 Avenue SE stages construction and building products: 100,000+ sq ft with 28-foot clear height, ESFR sprinkler protection rated for high-pile commodity storage, a 47 by 35 foot column grid and six dock doors. It already holds this class of product — elevators, transformers, appliances and fencing are existing Rolls Right warehouse accounts. It suits long-lead fit-out gear staged ahead of installation, and Rolls Right runs its own flat deck and power-tailgate equipment for deliveries to sites without a loading dock. Dangerous goods are assessed case by case against the SDS.

The problem
What usually goes wrong.
The gear arrives on the manufacturer's schedule, not the site's. Elevators, appliances, HVAC units, flooring, tile, fixtures and fencing get ordered early on a long lead, land months before the floor is ready to receive them, and then have to sit somewhere dry, secure and undamaged until the superintendent calls them in — often unit by unit.
Against a project budget, warehousing that gear is a rounding error. What actually costs money is a damaged shipment, a delivery that cannot get onto a congested site, or a crew standing idle because the units are on the wrong side of the city. Gear that waits on the site instead runs up its own bill: units walk off an open job, and an appliance scratched between the dock and the suite turns into an argument about whose damage it is. So the questions worth asking are about dock speed, damage rate and whether the delivery can be sequenced — not about the storage rate.
This is not a new product class for us. It is a large part of what already sits in our buildings, and the Calgary floor was chosen for it: 28-foot clear with ESFR throughout is what lets a building stack dense, heavy product high rather than charging you for floor area.
Capabilities
What we run for construction
- Staging for long-lead fit-out product: elevators, appliances, HVAC, flooring, tile, fixtures, fencing
- 28 ft clear height with ESFR protection, rated for high-pile commodity storage
- Heated floor through the Alberta winter, with make-up air and gas unit heaters
- 47 ft × 35 ft column grid, so wide bays and fewer obstructions for long product
- Release to site in sequence — by floor, by unit, or on the superintendent's call
- Flat deck and power-tailgate equipment for deliveries to sites with no dock
- Container de-stuffing and drayage for imported fixtures and fittings
- Short-term transient space for project peaks, on terms measured in months
What we'll actually claim
No borrowed credibility.
We won't name a developer we don't have. What we will say is that this product class is already in our buildings — elevators, transformers, appliances and fencing are live warehouse accounts, held for exactly this kind of staged release. Beyond that, the argument is the building itself: the clear height, the ESFR rating and the column grid are measurable, they are on this page, and you are welcome to walk the floor before you sign anything.

FAQ
Questions we get asked
Can you release to site in sequence rather than all at once?
Yes, and that is usually the point. Product comes in on the manufacturer's schedule and goes out on yours — by floor, by unit, or on the superintendent's call. Tell us how the install is phased and we will hold it that way rather than making you take the whole order at once.
What does 28-foot clear and ESFR actually get me?
Height you can use. Early Suppression Fast Response sprinklers let a building store commodity higher than a standard system allows, so more of your product fits in the same footprint, and we can take commodity classes a non-ESFR building has to refuse. If you have been quoted on floor space when what you needed was cube, this is where the money is.
Our lender only releases draws on stored materials it can verify. Does off-site storage work for that?
It can, and the difference is paper and access. Your product is received and counted under your own account, in a named building at 4770 68 Avenue SE, and you can walk the floor with the lender's inspector whenever you need to. Tell us what the draw requires and you will get a straight answer on what we can document before anyone commits.
Can you handle seasonal swings?
That is the normal pattern here. Short-term transient space covers peaks and project work, and terms are measured in months rather than a five-year lease, so you are not paying through the winter for space you needed in June. A forward buy works the same way: if you are taking product in ahead of a price increase, tell us the volume and the window and we will quote the space to match.
Some of this product can't freeze. What happens to it in January?
It sits on a heated floor. The Calgary building runs make-up air and gas unit heaters, which is the difference between a warehouse and a site trailer in January. Flooring, tile, grout and millwork hold at working temperature until the site calls them in. Anything with a dangerous-goods class, like paints and adhesives, still goes through the SDS check first, so send the sheet with the enquiry.
Can you deliver to a job site with no dock?
Yes. We run flat deck and power-tailgate equipment on our own fleet for exactly that. Tell us the site constraints and we will confirm the equipment before we quote.
Our site has no laydown space at all. How does this usually work?
The floor here becomes your laydown. Product lands on the manufacturer's schedule, sits dry and secure, and releases in the order the install can absorb it, on the superintendent's call. Deliveries go in on our own trucks, sized to what the site can take that day, with flat deck and power tailgate for addresses without a dock.
Will you take dangerous goods — adhesives, sealants, coatings?
Case by case. Send us the class and the SDS and we will come back with a yes or a no. We will not guess, because guessing wrong on a commodity class is how a building gets into trouble.
Is the building rail-served?
Rail freight reaches us by drayage: we run off the CN and CP ramps daily on our own chassis, so product moving by rail still lands on this floor.
How much space can we take?
Footprints start at a few pallet positions and go up from there, inside a building that runs past 100,000+ sq ft. Tell us the footprint or the pallet count and we will confirm it straight away, along with how quickly you could be working in it.
