The importance of architectural models in factory design
Architectural models are one of the easiest and most effective ways to bring projects to life. Any experienced investor, builder, or architect understands that a well-made model can have a major impact not only on the final result of the construction, regardless of its type, but also on the entire execution process in order to attract the necessary funding.
Although architectural models are often associated with real estate projects or those dedicated to photovoltaic parks, they have always been successfully used in the industrial sector as well.
Creating a model for a factory can come with several advantages, offering unique benefits that can contribute to reducing construction costs and optimizing planning.
Carbios Factory Model
Carbios, a France-based company that uses biological technologies to recycle plastic and textiles, recently hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for its polyethylene terephthalate (PET) biorecycling plant in Longlaville, France.
Carbios to build in France its first-of-a-kind manufacturing plant for fully bio-recycled PET in partnership with Indorama Ventures. Unlike real estate mock-ups, industrial models are essential in the process of designing and optimizing industrial facilities, as they provide a very clear perspective on how they operate
An excellent tool to visualize the plan and streamline the workflow
Taken into account the high production volume and the complexity of the work, it’s no surprise that architects and investors aim to optimize factories as efficiently as possible before construction. Architectural models give all parties involved the opportunity to analyze in detail how equipment, storage areas, loading docks, employee spaces, workspaces, and others are placed.
This way, they can optimize the workflow and the use of available space, contributing to increased productivity, safety, and, on medium and long term, profitability.
AbbVie’s Singapore plant
AbbVie’s Singapore plant is a state-of-the-art small-molecule and biologics manufacturing facility serving markets worldwide.
AbbVie’s mission is to discover and deliver innovative medicines and solutions that solve serious health issues today and address the medical challenges of tomorrow.
Models of factories, warehouses, and industrial facilities are essential tools in this process, providing a clear and detailed view of how the various components of an industrial unit will function and interact.
The best way to communicate with stakeholders
Architects and builders can easily understand a drawn or digital plan, but the same cannot be said for investors, customers, or other third parties without experience.
A physical architectural model considerably simplifies the necessary explanations, giving them the ability to more easily understand the size, layout, and overall plan of the buildings. This valuable tool will thus enhance collaboration, increase the amount of constructive feedback, and make the decision-making process easier.
A reliable support for presentations and fundraising
As mentioned earlier, a two-dimensional image or plan can make it difficult to perceive proportions, complicating the understanding of the plan. A well-made architectural model provides a clear and detailed representation. In general, it creates a much stronger impact on investors and customers, being one of the most effective ways to successfully conclude a project presentation or when seeking funding to start building the factory.
Hammerer Aluminium – Factory Model
This industrial model is an aluminium recycling plant. The plant will have an annual recycling capacity of 75,000 tons of aluminum, will create 80 new jobs and will generate a turnover of 75 million Euros.
This project will be a premiere in Eastern Europe and will use the latest technology for aluminum processing.
The implementation of this project will stimulate the population to collect and sort aluminum products.
