McCownGordon assisted in making essential scope and design decisions across various areas, including cattle pens, kill floor, carcass cooling, fabrication, packaging, warehousing, shipping, administration, maintenance, utilities, and employee welfare.
Before the 30% design phase, we evaluated four potential site options and provided feedback to aid our client in selecting the most suitable location for their new harvesting facility. This preliminary design phase is crucial to the project’s overall success. Instead of investing in the full design effort upfront, McCownGordon developed a documented project scope for approximately 30% of the time and effort required for the complete design process. This scope servedĀ as the foundation for determining the overall project cost and schedule, enabling our client to pause and make critical business decisions while minimizing time and cost investments.
