QD Design designs warehouses, shell buildings, office/warehouse combinations, and industrial facilities in Humble, Texas — architecture plus sealed MEP engineering under one contract, from shell documentation to process-heavy renovations. We are a HUB-certified A/E firm based in Cypress (Houston metro), led by a Texas-licensed Professional Engineer.
What a Humble warehouse permit set includes
Industrial sets hinge on getting shell-versus-TI documentation right: what is permitted now, what is deferred to tenants, and how the one-line diagram, ventilation, and energy compliance carry across both. Our warehouse work includes dual buildings permitted in one coordinated package with shared one-lines and IECC 2021 documentation, business-park shells with follow-on TIs, and expansions where the whole building’s systems were re-evaluated. See our warehouse & industrial design service.

Permitting in Humble
The City of Humble reviews commercial projects through its own building department on the northeast side of the Houston metro. Our Golden Chick QSR on FM 1960 was permitted here — Type I hood, three-phase kitchen power, and grease interceptor sizing all cleared through the city’s review as one architecture + MEP package. Statewide, any Texas commercial project valued over the $50,000 statutory threshold also requires TDLR registration and Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) review — we file the registration and coordinate the accessibility review as part of the package.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do warehouse projects in Humble really need full MEP drawings?
Yes — even “simple” boxes carry one-line electrical diagrams, ventilation, restroom plumbing, and IECC 2021 energy compliance, and the City of Humble expects them sealed by a Texas-licensed engineer. Shell buildings and TIs are documented differently, which we scope correctly up front.
How fast can you produce an industrial permit set?
On the 25,250 SF Star Pipe industrial renovation in Houston, schematic design was approved 7 days after contract signing and permit documents were delivered on a 3–4 week overall design schedule. Typical warehouse packages run 3–5 weeks depending on scope.
Who reviews warehouse and industrial permits in Humble?
The City of Humble reviews commercial projects through its own building department. TDLR accessibility review applies over the $50,000 threshold.
Can you handle process-heavy facilities?
Yes — our portfolio includes a food production facility with process HVAC, washdown-rated electrical, and sanitary drainage, and a 4,000 SF pharmaceutical cleanroom with HEPA filtration and redundant power.
