Greenfield Factory Design with LFB
Design your process and flow first, then create a building that supports peak efficiency from day one
Design Your Ideal Factory from Day One
Flow‑first layouts aligned to value streams
Integrated architecture, structure, and MEP designed around Lean principles
Future‑ready designs prepared for expansion and automation
Why Greenfield Projects Need LFB
A new factory is a once‑in‑decades decision with irreversible consequences. It is the single best opportunity to build efficiency into your DNA. LFB ensures your plot usage, building orientation, grids, and utilities are driven by flow and Lean logic, not by standard architectural templates.
The Greenfield Advantage
A new factory is a blank canvas and your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With no existing constraints, we can design the perfect production flow first, then wrap the ideal building around it.
- Avoid layouts that lock in high material handling and energy costs for the life of the plant
- Keep future lines and expansions structurally feasible without demolition
- Align land use, docking, and circulation with actual product and logistics flows
- Embed 6S and safety standards into the physical design from day one
The Stakes Are High
Every decision you make now will impact operations for decades. Poor early decisions become permanent constraints that:
- Force inefficient material flows that waste time and money daily
- Require expensive material handling systems to compensate for layout problems
- Block future automation and expansion opportunities
- Create safety and quality issues that are structurally embedded
LFB gets it right from the beginning, preventing these locked-in inefficiencies.
Our Greenfield Process
A systematic approach that places flow before form
Process & Flow Analysis
Understand product families, volumes, and value streams to define the ideal flow before drawing lines.
Lean Layout Options
Develop multiple layout options that minimize movement, waiting, and congestion.
Architecture Around Flow
Define building envelope, grids, heights, and entries specifically around the chosen Lean layout.
Integrated Engineering
Structure and MEP systems designed to support flow, safety, and energy efficiency.
Compliance & Approvals
Ensure plans meet all statutory and industrial regulations seamlessly.
Visualization & Support
Use 3D walkthroughs to align stakeholders and provide on-site checks to ensure the built factory matches the Lean intent.

Visualization & Interior Design
Bringing your factory to life before construction begins
3D Visualization
High-quality 3D renderings and walkthroughs that help you:
- Visualize the completed facility
- Communicate vision to stakeholders
- Identify design issues early
- Make confident decisions
- Present to investors and partners
Interior Design
Professional design for non-production areas:
- Office and administrative spaces
- Conference and meeting rooms
- Cafeteria and break areas
- Reception and visitor areas
- Landscaping and external aesthetics
6S Concepts Embedded in Design
Building lean principles into the physical structure
Sort & Set in Order
Line‑side stocking, supermarkets, and staging areas defined clearly in the layout. Every item has a designated home built into the design.
Shine & Standardize
Clear access for cleaning, concealed but maintainable services, and uniform light levels. Easy-to-clean surfaces and standardized design throughout.
Sustain & Safety
Visual lanes, markings, and ergonomics planned in drawings—not added later with paint. Safety features and good practices become structurally easier to maintain.
Construction Supervision
Supervision ensures that the final built factory preserves the clearances, adjacencies, and lines of flow agreed in the LFB design
Design Intent Protection
- Regular site visits and inspections
- Verification of critical dimensions and clearances
- Flow path preservation during construction
- Coordination with contractors
- RFI responses and technical clarifications
Quality Assurance
- Construction quality verification
- Compliance with LFB design intent
- Material and workmanship checks
- Punch list management
- Handover support and documentation
Our supervision ensures the built factory performs exactly as designed, with no compromises to the flow logic that drives operational efficiency.
