BSC Group’s successful track record of assisting applicants throughout the licensing process makes us an ideal partner for those pursuing permits in new states and countries.

Since the window to complete the formal licensing process is typically quite narrow, most successful groups start their planning prior to applications being released. Patterns from other states have served as reliable examples of what is expected and required in terms of preparation.

For teams that have successfully navigated the licensing process, it’s time to engineer a facility with a design that is directly correlated to your operational SOPs. We cannot stress enough how important it is to avoid a disconnect between your facility and your operational plan.

We work with clients looking to implement GMP-based SOPs who are starting with greenfield, are renovating existing indoor space, or have an operational facility in need of upgrade.

Variable factors that can influence a facility’s design include:

• Type of facility 
• Budget
• Facility layout
• Support column placement
• Room dimensions
• Variable costs by location/region – energy, water, real estate, etc.
• Local pest and microbial pressures (for cultivation)

Building upon a vision that all parties agree will be an advantageous venture, we merge best practices extracted from other mature industries like commercial ag, food/beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturing and distribution, and combine them with best practices from the most efficient and most profitable cannabis operators in North America. This allows us to ensure that our partners establish themselves as viable competitors within an ever-changing landscape. We’ve established lasting relationships and buying power with numerous vendors, streamlining the supply chain and making ordering easier and more cost effective.

• Facility Design & Workflow Engineering
