BALLROOM APPROACH MEANS WHEN PRODUCT FORMULATIONS CHANGE, SO CAN THE PRODUCTION LINES
As consumers become more health conscious, the desire for vitamins, herbals, powders, and oils has the nutraceuticals industry racing to meet demand. As a result, nutraceutical manufacturers must respond rapidly—and that means immediate design-build projects for expanded facilities or new manufacturing plants.
Our expertise and decades of experience allow us to design-build through a flash-track process. Our integrated team often uses a “ballroom approach” as we design modularity into facilities, so the interiors can be adapted quickly for multiple product runs or as formulations change.
Austin’s approach shortens the time needed for an expansion or adaptive re-use space, allowing our nutraceuticals clients to move their products to market much faster.
DEDICATION TO SAFETY
Safety is imperative and utility companies across the United States set specific engineering standards for safety at their plant support facilities. These standards exceed typical building standards that are required by codes today.

THE AUSTIN METHOD®
The Austin Method is the proprietary design-build method developed in 1901 to provide clients a single-source for the design, engineering, and construction of a project. Austin can provide services from start to finish—or any step in between—to meet the client’s objectives for a project on time and within budget.
Austin offers multiple approaches in implementing a project. These generally can be classified into either a design-bid-construct or design-build project approach. In addition, Austin offers The Austin Method, which applies stringent project controls and combines the advantages of “design-bid construct” and “design-build” approaches into a competitive bid, cost-effective, and accelerated-schedule project implementation.
