Delivering a $60M biotechnology manufacturing facility

$60M

Manufacturing facility delivered

100%

Approved budget and construction schedule maintained

<15years

Projected payback for strategic relocation

The challenge

The client required a new compliant manufacturing facility to support business growth, improve production efficiency, and reduce long-term operating costs while maintaining biotechnology quality and regulatory expectations.

Objectives

  • Build a compliant biotechnology manufacturing facility
  • Increase production capacity
  • Improve operational efficiency
  • Support long-term cost optimization through strategic relocation

BEPC's role

BEPC provided senior project management across the full lifecycle, including site selection, design coordination, permitting, contractor procurement, construction management, schedule control, stakeholder communication, and facility turnover.

Scope & approach

Coordinated land acquisition and site-development activities
Managed multidisciplinary design teams
Oversaw permitting and construction documentation
Led contractor bidding, selection, RFIs, submittals, schedule tracking, and progress meetings

The project was managed through structured capital-project controls, multidisciplinary coordination, and disciplined construction governance using tools such as Microsoft Project and ProCore.

Outcomes

The new manufacturing facility was delivered to expand production capacity, support international operational relocation, maintain budget and schedule discipline, and create long-term cost savings for the client.
