Wafer Bar Manufacturing Facility

Austin provided integrated design services to transform an existing building into a flexible, food‑grade wafer bar manufacturing facility, supporting immediate production needs while planning for future expansion.

Austin’s scope of work included architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and process design services. The design required the creation of a sanitary enclosure for Process Line 1, along with new utilities, HVAC, and electrical systems to support food‑grade manufacturing operations. The project was developed through the construction documents phase using a comprehensive, multi‑disciplinary approach to ensure coordination and constructability.

Building information modeling (BIM) was utilized for 3D coordination, design authoring, construction system design, and visualization. The models also supported cost estimating, engineering analysis, design reviews, and record documentation, in compliance with applicable building codes, regulatory requirements, and industry standards. In addition, Austin provided permitting and engineering support during construction, working within an aggressive project schedule.

This project highlights Austin’s experience delivering coordinated, technology‑driven design solutions for food and beverage manufacturing clients, with a focus on sanitary design, efficient layouts, and collaborative execution in fast‑paced environments.
