01
Contracts and interfaces
Name who owns design, permits, civil works, utilities, unloading, installation, supervision, safety, testing and corrective work.
06Construction
Control greenhouse construction through interfaces, evidence and acceptance.
Construction succeeds when civil works, structure, utilities, water systems, climate equipment, controls and logistics follow one coordinated programme. SeedMatch can support procurement coordination, but independent contractors and engineers remain responsible for design, safety, permits, construction and performance.
Direct answer
Control greenhouse construction through interfaces, evidence and acceptance.
A commercial greenhouse construction plan should define the responsibility matrix, approved drawings, site readiness, long-lead deliveries, civil and utility interfaces, installation sequence, inspections, testing, commissioning, training, handover documents and objective acceptance criteria.
Decisions before the next stage
Build the evidence before requesting proposals.
02
Site and logistics
Sequence earthworks, drainage, foundations, access, laydown areas, customs, deliveries and secure storage around local conditions.
03
Quality and change control
Approve drawings and materials before release, record inspections, and price scope changes before work proceeds.
04
Testing and acceptance
Define measurable tests for structure, water, irrigation, climate systems, controls, alarms and documentation before final acceptance.
