Our Services.

We work with existing cultivation facilities looking to retrofit for more efficiency, consistency, and production.

We also work with new cultivation facilities that are in the planning/pre-design phase. The sooner we get involved, the better.

Facility Site Inspection & Report

Our team performs a full site inspection and facility audit with estimated load calculations to determine your facility's health, efficiency and performance. We will provide an Inspection Report Detailed with Issues & Solutions.

Facility Design Consultation

Whether you have a new facility or an existing facility looking to retrofit, having experts like us around the development team in this initial site discovery and decision-making process around the high-level facility design identifies the scope of work and determines the basis of design (BOD) for all members of the design team (architect, MEP, Civil, etc.).  Completing this overall process outline of the facility early allows floor plan development based on sound decisions and a plan before iterations are distributed for coordination between trades.

Capital Expenditure (CapEx) Budgeting

To supplement the Equipment Schedule and Equipment Plan, we will provide budgetary cost estimates of the capital expenditures with real-time access to pricing, inventory and lead times. This allows the retrofit, expansion, or phased development project capital expenditures to be accurately modeled.

Retrofit Equipment Selections

Looking to make your existing facility more efficient and productive? Our team performs retrofit solutions that inspect your site, run loads on your current equipment, determine the best equipment selections for the goals, create a phased approach to implement the suggestions, and continue to support the facility throughout the equipment procurement and installation. We treat it like a new design… All equipment in the facility is selected, specified, and located on floor plan and a detailed matrix. Performance data/specs for all information is centralized for ownership team to fulfill scope of work and understand the budget and critical path.

STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES (SOP)

Our team of experts will develop a custom SOP for your facility.

Once developed, our team will implement the SOP by training your staff with detailed explanation and hands-on assistance. This ensures SOP is understood and followed correctly.

We provide dedicated site visits 4-5 days per month, and remote monitoring daily.

We have experience with the latest advancements of crop steering, climate steering, and light steering SOPs designed to maximize genetic potential and production goals, constantly.

We have expertise with Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd)identification and eradication SOPs in cannabis facilities at scale.

Your facility can leverage our years of trial and error so you are successful immediately.

Equipment Procurement

We have close relationships with many equipment manufacturers and distributors across several industries so we can supply and support any equipment that we have specified in your facility’s Equipment Plan throughout the procurement, installation, and commissioning stages. This is our wheelhouse, and we want to see you succeed.

The Equipment Schedule is the perfect tool when it comes to purchasing. We have real-time pricing and inventory levels so logistics and procurement is efficient. With our access to vendors, we streamline the communication process and ensure business owners are buying direct whenever possible.

Vendor Liaison

A Point of Contact (POC) for the owner/developer for communications with equipment vendors. It is advantageous to have a regular vendor communication and updated costs associated with the equipment selections made throughout the development process, especially before entering the engineering phase to avoid unexpected delays and expenses.

Our close relationships with all major equipment manufacturers and distributors encourages an efficient feedback loop with reliable communication and everyone’s incentives aligned to expedite the project.

Equipment Plans

The streamlines the work for the entire development team. A complete Equipment Plan will supplement the Equipment Schedule as a visual view of the floor plan with all equipment locations reflected with EQ tags that are consistent with the EQ tags on the Equipment Schedule.  Identifying where the equipment is located will significantly expedite the discovery and engineering process for the development team. Equipment plans also help reflect the process flow path for the operation, especially for the manufacturing/extraction facilities.

Typical Equipment Plans we offer:

  • Fertigation & Irrigation Plan

  • Water Treatment & Reclaim Plan w/ Water Usage calculations

  • Air Circulation Plan

  • Humidification Plan

  • Air Purification & Surface Sterilization Plan

  • Odor Mitigation Plan & Report

  • Post-Harvest Trimming, Bucking, Packaging Plans

  • Extraction Plans - Solventless & Hydrocarbon Extraction

  • Living Soil Plans

  • Bench and racking layouts

  • Lighting Plans

  • Mechanical Plans

  • Elevations & Section Views

  • And much more…

Equipment Selections

The Equipment Selections are a critical element to the development team that allows the process of engineering and coordination on working drawings to start and speed up when all equipment is confirmed.  Proper equipment selection requires a thorough understanding of the installation and operation. Our team has extensive knowledge and experience with all of the potential equipment specifications throughout the facility, and we will aid you in selecting the best equipment for the project’s goals and budget.

Equipment Schedule

The Equipment Schedule is a matrix that compiles the manufacturer’s product specifications for the equipment selections planned throughout the facility into a single table for the development team use.  This is typically a requirement in the plan check process to establish an interdepartmental  understanding of the equipment being used in the facility.

This matrix is an excel spreadsheet that contains all of the product technical data and also the budget information. It acts as the central document for the engineering team and for ownership’s access to the capital expenditures.

Engineering-Assist

Design Development & Construction Drawings commence with Approved Floor Plan and Architectural Backgrounds distributed. We provide ongoing details to MEP, Architect and development team.

Submittal/Plan Check

Construction drawings are submitted for plan check review, comments, and plan revisions prior to permit issuance. Ability to quick ascertain the changes and ensure production and efficiency are not compromised with plan revisions.

Construction Administration

Regularly coordinate and review work with site superintendents to ensure successful construction and installation of facility equipment and fixtures.

Start-Up/Commissioning

The critical process of the initial energizing, balancing and tuning of facility’s process equipment. Vendors are coordinated with subcontractors for organized pre-startup process. This is typically a 2-4 week process.

Operation

We ensure equipment is functioning and facility is performing as designed. Client is able to start business operations.

Ongoing Support

Incentives and goals are aligned with ongoing support of the operation. Hands-on SOP implementation, preventative maintenance, emphasis on continuous improvement in process, production and efficiency.
