How much would this warehouse cost to build?

So for my business exam we have to create a pitch for the show called Dragon's Den ( The Canadian version of Shark Tank). For this we have to make an estimated price of all of the things we'll need t do it. Supplies, employees etc. I'm going to be doing a subscription box service and will need to build a warehouse for it.

I'm planning on having a large system of pulleys and those rolling conveyor belts to push the packages from section to section. How it works is that they will get an order and an empty box would be pushed out and sent to the correct location. The packagers will know what's going into the box with maybe a message on an iPad or screen somewhere displaying the order. They then load it onto the conveyor sending it to whatever room it needs to be in next until it's packaged and stored.

Do these buildings already exist or do I have to build one? This will probably be pretty manual because machines are difficult and expensive. I'm planning on having 10 000 items of merchandise that vary between action figures, beauty products and apparel per factory.
