From business concept to operations

Development of a fruit packing facility serving export markets, bringing together the business model, physical infrastructure and operating requirements.

The challenge

Translate a business concept into a working facility by aligning design, budget, construction and equipment procurement.

My contribution

I led development of the business model, concept design and financial model, coordinated architecture and engineering, and managed construction, equipment installation and start-up.

Project perspective

The operation a facility needs to support should inform its design. Understanding that operation early helps guide investment decisions and the delivery sequence.
