Project delivery

Working within the constraints of an existing building footprint, the project brief required detailed design solutions to accommodate multiple operational areas. These included:

• A dedicated chip production line

• Burger preparation and assembly zones

• A fully equipped prep kitchen

• Refrigeration units for goods-in and goods-out processes

A key element of the design was the inclusion of a training facility to support staff development, alongside viewing corridors that allow safe visual access into production areas without disrupting workflow or compromising hygiene.

The layout also incorporated essential welfare facilities, such as a breakout room, changing areas, and restrooms, ensuring a comfortable and compliant working environment for staff.

Detailed room data sheets were produced for each area, specifying wall and floor finishes, drainage requirements, and suggested plant locations, ensuring clarity and consistency across the design package.

Conclusion

WFPL’s design team delivered a comprehensive layout that balanced operational efficiency with staff wellbeing and training needs. While the client was impressed with the overall design solution, it was ultimately determined that the chosen building was not the right long-term fit for the business.
