Disconnect for out-building being "in sight" of the building it serves

I am working on an industrial project where there are multiple buildings (all buildings are existing) with multiple fused disconnects located in one area feeding various pieces of equipment and two warehouse buildings on site. My question is, I have two fused disconnects feeding two warehouse buildings. Do the fused disconnects need to be outside of the main building and within sight of the warehouse buildings (nema3r) or can they be located just inside and labeled like a transformer with a remote disconnect (450.14)? The new disconnects feed to existing disconnects in each of the existing warehouses.

If the question is a little confusing I apologize.
 
Each separate building requires it's own disconnect at the separate building. The fused disconnects for the separate building's feeders do not need to be within sight.
 
Each warehouse building is fed from an overhead line to a weatherhead, which drops into the disconnect. They are adding additional disconnects in the main building to eliminate the splice blocks at the weatherhead on the main building where the old feed was spliced and split to feed both buildings from one feed. Still going to have one feed with a junction box that splits (in j-box) to feed both new disconnects that then feed overhead to their respective warehouse disconnect located inside of each warehouse. I am just trying to be sure that the new disconnects do not have to be outside and within sight. I am just trying to be clear in my understanding.

Thank you infinity for that fast reply.
