Delivery Model
One contract. One point of accountability.
Nine phases from feasibility to regulatory readiness, with the documentation workstream running alongside the engineering workstream rather than behind it.
Phased Delivery
How a project actually runs.
-
Feasibility and concept design
Product range, target market and site are turned into a block layout and a capacity model, so the commercial case and the building are tested against each other before money is committed.
-
Detailed engineering
GMP layout and flow, civil and structural, MEP, HVAC and utilities are taken through to issued-for-construction drawings and user requirement specifications.
-
Procurement and manufacture
Vendors are qualified, equipment is contracted for by us as principal, and manufacture is tracked against the construction programme.
-
Shipment and site mobilisation
Factory acceptance testing before dispatch, then packing, export documentation, shipping and delivery to site, with the site prepared to receive it.
-
Installation and commissioning
Mechanical installation, orbital-welded hygienic pipework, utility tie-ins, and site acceptance testing once equipment is in position.
-
Qualification and validation
IQ, OQ and PQ executed and documented, alongside utility qualification, process validation and cleaning validation.
-
Trial batches and technology transfer
Formulation recipes established, trial batches run, and process knowledge transferred to the client's own production team.
-
Training and handover
Operators, technicians and quality staff trained to run the plant, and the facility handed over with its documentation set complete.
-
Regulatory readiness
Documentation structured for inspection and, where the scope includes it, product registration dossiers compiled for the target market.
Parallel Tracks
Documentation does not wait for the building.
On most projects the quality documentation is assembled after construction, which is why so many finished plants sit idle waiting to be licensed. We run the two workstreams together from the first week.
Engagement Models
Four ways to work with us.
- 01
Full turnkey execution
Design through to a qualified, documented, operating plant under one contract and one point of accountability.
- 02
Machinery supply only
Specification, supply, installation and commissioning of equipment and utility systems, where the client holds the balance of the project.
- 03
Post-commissioning management contract
Continued involvement after handover, supporting the operation of the plant while the client's own team builds depth.
- 04
Raw and packing material supply
Ongoing supply of raw materials and packing materials to plants in production.
