Engineering services firm cmT has observed a notable rise in enquiries and contracts related to the conversion and adaptation of existing warehouse buildings. The company, which specialises in large-scale industrial projects, recently completed two such conversions in the Dąbrowa Basin. This trend reflects the ageing warehouse stock in Poland and the need to align older facilities with current user expectations, technical requirements, and regulatory standards. Founded over two decades ago, cmT employs more than 200 people, 90% of whom are engineers. While approximately 65% of the company’s portfolio last year was comprised of industrial projects, cmT has begun increasing its presence in broader real estate sectors, including logistics and warehousing. Notable clients include MAN, for whom the company expanded a facility in Niepołomice, as well as Viessmann, E.G.O. Polska, and Synthos. “We have made a strategic decision to diversify our portfolio, aiming to increase the share of real estate projects while keeping large industrial developments as a core component,” said Krzysztof Trembowski, Senior Project Director at cmT. He noted that the warehouse sector, in particular, faces structural and regulatory challenges, where cmT’s engineering expertise and project management capabilities—delivered without the involvement of a general contractor—offer an alternative approach. The total stock of modern warehouse space in Poland has grown significantly, from just over 6 million square metres in 2009 to nearly 34 million square metres today. However, many facilities built before 2010 remain in use. These older buildings often require upgrades to meet new construction standards introduced with the transition to Eurocodes, which replaced the Polish Standards (PN) in April 2010 and became the sole applicable standard from 2021 onward. Tomasz Wajdzik, Head of cmT’s Wrocław branch, explained that compliance with updated standards frequently involves reinforcing structural components. “In a recent project, we had to increase the roof’s load-bearing capacity to accommodate a fire protection system that meets the new Eurocode requirements,” he said. Beyond Silesia, cmT has also completed smaller adaptation projects in Gdańsk and central Poland. The company reports a marked increase in warehouse-related requests, having already responded to or submitted bids for 10 conversion projects in 2025 alone. cmT estimates that around 20% of warehouse buildings in the country were constructed under Polish Standards and may require substantial upgrades during renovation. As part of its long-term development strategy, cmT plans to expand its involvement in the warehouse segment by building on its established expertise in technical audits, cost and schedule optimisation, and investment supervision. The company aims to strengthen its role as a leading provider of engineering services in Poland’s evolving real estate market.
