Choosing the ideal commercial greenhouse depends on several factors. Construction costs can quickly escalate if the entrepreneur overlooks certain elements. The experts at Harnois Greenhouses offer you 5 tips to help you choose the right type of large scale greenhouse for your needs.
The entrepreneur must develop a business plan to identify opportunities, determine market proximity, establish necessary transportation methods, and develop a marketing strategy. This feasibility study ensures the right choice of crop and infrastructure. The success of the project depends on strong product marketing and a strategically located production site.
A year-round production greenhouse will be designed to protect crops from the cold and temperature fluctuations. It is generally partially insulated, with an auxiliary heating and lighting system installed.
It’s not enough to find the ideal location; the types of construction permitted by the city must also be validated. Harnois supports you throughout the permitting process by helping you compile a complete file with all the required documents. Our team of engineers approves the plans, which generally speeds up the permit acquisition process.
The business plan and the analyses conducted at the beginning of the project help the producer choose the ideal greenhouse. They should plan for additional space to expand their business or introduce a new crop. Our greenhouses can be extended and/or widened (depending on the model) after the initial installation. This very attractive feature allows the entrepreneur to save significant amounts at the start of the project without limiting future growth.
Greenhouse production offers many advantages, including year-round production. However, a clear and precise plan must be established before starting a greenhouse farming project to ensure its success. You can count on the experts at Harnois Greenhouses to advise and support you throughout your project.
