Cannabis Facility Full-Service Construction
Building a high-performance cannabis cultivation or processing facility requires a construction partner who understands the unique demands of the cannabis industry — from contamination control and environmental precision to regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. Design Review Management’s full-service cannabis facility construction delivers a complete turnkey solution from design through certificate of occupancy.
DRM manages every phase of your cannabis facility construction project — design, permitting, procurement, construction management, and final commissioning. Our full-service approach eliminates the coordination risk that comes from managing multiple contractors and ensures your facility is built to the exact design intent, on time and on budget.
What is Full-Service Cannabis Facility Construction?
Full-service cannabis facility construction is a turnkey project delivery model in which a single firm manages the complete project lifecycle — from design and permitting through construction, MEP installation, and facility commissioning. DRM’s full-service model gives cannabis operators a single point of accountability and eliminates the gaps and finger-pointing that occur when design and construction are managed separately.
