The geographical location of the factory: At this stage, the civil engineering and architecture group comprises experts with experience in these two fields. In the first step, they determine the type of land and its location. There are 2 critical points in deciding the factories and land’s locations. The 1st point is its distance from agricultural lands and raw materials markets, and the 2nd is its distance from consumer markets and product distribution.
Land size: The second piece of advice in this area is to consider the land size, which is defined according to the type of operation, the production capacity of input & output levels, and the machines considered. Also, at this stage, the size of the sheds and the infrastructure of each part of the factory buildings is determined.
Type of shed and building: At this stage, the kind of shed is determined, which depends on several factors such as the factory’s schedule, the requirements of standard organizations, machines, and production capacity. According to the fact that the product in question is going to be distributed in domestic or foreign markets, it needs to receive different standard approvals.
Determining infrastructure equipment: In the final stage of civil architecture consultation, expert engineers define infrastructure equipment approved by standard organizations for structures and sheds.
