We work with our clients to produce intelligent, workable design solutions for their manufacturing, food production, storage, distribution and data centre projects. As the approach to industrial processes continuously changes due to markets, technology, regulation and supply chains, we evolve our design approaches, finding ways to create value for construction, operation and future adaptation. Increasingly, our clients also focus on creating places for the people who work in and interact with industrial facilities.
Industrial buildings require a unique skillset and understanding of process flow, production and storage, as well as inherent knowledge of detailing for health and hygiene, together with the needs of access, circulation and flexibility. Data centres and other technical facilities require careful site selection and design to achieve performance standards for infrastructure, redundancy and security.
At GHD Design, our clients become part of a creative and collaborative approach that produces innovative ideas. Whether through traditional procurement or custom methodologies, we work as one integrated team of architects, engineers, specialists, contractors and suppliers to understand and implement your unique requirements, optimising the outcome for each project.
