Nimble Design Philosophy Enabled Aggressive Timeline to Dramatically Increase Capacity
Design & Build in Parallel
As businesses must stay nimble to adjust to changing requirements, facility design and construction are becoming more nimble as well. Rather than the traditional approach of doing the design first and construction second, a more cost-effective and efficient method has emerged that takes on each aspect of the project in parallel – with designers staying several steps ahead of their construction colleagues.
This novel way of working allowed Grand River Aseptic Manufacturing, Inc. (“GRAM”) to take on a two-year greenfield expansion project that increased the pharmaceutical manufacturing company’s capacity four times over. The ambitious undertaking was made easier with the assistance of innovative designers and engineers from CRB.
