More Than a Building: Crafting an Experience

Brewery & Winery Construction FAQs
Can you accommodate specialized brewing and winemaking equipment?
Absolutely. We design the structure to support the weight and utility requirements of fermenters, brite tanks, barrel racks, and bottling lines. We plan for efficient workflow and ensure that flooring, drainage, and ventilation meet industry standards.
Do you handle the commercial zoning and permitting process?
While you will be the primary applicant, we provide comprehensive support and documentation needed to navigate local zoning, building, and health department regulations for a commercial beverage production and service facility.

Timber frame and post-frame construction are our specialties. They naturally create the warm, authentic, and impressive look that is highly sought after for wineries and breweries, featuring exposed wood beams and vaulted ceilings.

We build strictly to code, focusing on critical details like non-porous surfaces in production areas, proper ventilation, accessible restrooms, and fire safety regulations to ensure your facility is safe for both employees and guests.
