Owning an optimized, cost-effective, and purpose-fit factory design is a crucial factor that enables businesses to break through. However, many investors struggle to find suitable solutions among numerous options due to the lack of an experienced strategic partner who understands the industry, possesses solid expertise, and is dedicated.
BIC not only provides design consulting services but also accompanies businesses as a "strategic architect" from the initial idea to the completion of detailed drawings, ready for construction. So, what makes hundreds of clients choose BIC as their trusted factory design partner? Let's explore!
Factory design consulting is the process of accompanying investors from the initial idea to the completion of detailed technical drawings, ensuring that the factory project achieves three important factors: functional optimization, cost savings, and compliance with technical and legal standards. This is not just a technical job but a combination of professional knowledge, understanding of legal regulations, and the ability to listen to the actual needs of the business.
In the modern industrial environment, each industry has specific requirements for production layout, ventilation systems, drainage, power supply, fire prevention, and fighting systems, etc. Therefore, professional factory design consulting cannot use pre-existing drawings but must conduct field surveys, analyze operational models, and propose the most suitable design solutions for each type of production.
Factory design consulting plays a central role throughout the project implementation process. A correct design plan from the beginning not only helps businesses save investment and operating costs but also avoids technical errors that cause delays, or even require demolition and rework during construction.
For example, if a food processing factory is not advised to arrange separate movement flows for raw materials and finished products, it is very likely to fail standards such as HACCP, ISO 22000, or GMP. Similarly, a mechanical workshop without appropriate ventilation solutions will make the air stuffy, seriously affecting workers' health and work efficiency.
Thus, factory design consulting is the foundational step that determines the long-term effectiveness of the entire project.
A professional consulting unit will not simply provide design drawings but must carry out a comprehensive process including the following steps:
Surveying the Current Situation and Gathering Usage Needs: The engineering team conducts field surveys, analyzes land area, foundation structure, surrounding environment. At the same time, they work closely with the business to understand the expected capacity, type of production, storage needs, machinery, and personnel operation plans.
Proposing Preliminary Layout and Overall Design Solutions: Based on the collected information, experts will develop optimal space layout plans, balancing construction costs and practical feasibility. This step helps investors have an overview and adjust their expectations if necessary.
Developing Detailed Technical Drawings: Including architecture, structure, electricity, water supply and drainage, lighting, fire prevention, and fighting, etc. The drawings are clearly presented, meet standards, and are ready for construction permits or implementation.
Consulting on Related Legal Procedures: For large projects, legal consulting (construction permits, fire prevention and fighting, environmental assessment...) is vital. A reputable consulting unit will accompany businesses to ensure complete documentation and compliance with regulations.
Delivering Documentation & Post-Design Technical Support: Not stopping at drawings, quality consulting services will continue to support during the construction phase to ensure the building process follows the design, avoiding incorrect modifications.
Factory design consulting is not just about providing drawings but a comprehensive solution to help businesses realize their production vision scientifically, economically, and legally. Therefore, choosing the right consulting unit from the beginning is a long-term strategic decision.
Many businesses, aiming to save initial costs, choose factory design options without going through professional consulting units. However, in reality, this decision often leads to serious consequences, from budget waste, functional errors to legal standard violations. Below are typical difficulties businesses often encounter:
A beautiful factory drawing on paper may not be feasible in operation. Without thorough site surveys or accurate usage needs analysis, businesses may face unscientific space layouts, inefficient production lines, or insufficient storage and packaging areas.
For example, a cosmetic manufacturing plant without separate areas for mixing, packaging, and storage may be denied licensing by authorities due to not meeting hygiene and process control requirements.
Without a consulting unit, there is no technical supervision. Drawings lacking synchronization between architecture, structure, electricity, water, and fire prevention can cause construction interruptions, demolition, repairs, and increased material and labor costs.
Some investors even pay dearly for having to apply for construction permit adjustments, leading to a series of legal and completion time consequences.
When factory design lacks professionalism, adjustments during construction are almost inevitable. These changes not only cause contractors to suspend work but also affect related items, leading to delays and postponed operation dates.
In a constantly fluctuating market, delaying production plans can even cause businesses to lose contracts and market share opportunities.
Standards for fire prevention and fighting, load-bearing structures, labor safety, environment, GMP, or ISO are all clearly and strictly regulated. Without early consultation, investors easily make mistakes from drawings to construction materials.
As a result, businesses find it difficult to get acceptance, are not licensed for production, or are required to renovate the entire project to meet standards, costing many times more than hiring an initial consulting unit.
In summary, not using professional factory design consulting services not only causes businesses to lose initiative but also leads to many financial, technical, and legal risks. Choosing the wrong partner from the beginning can turn a "profitable" project into a prolonged burden.
Among hundreds of design units in the market, BIC is proud to be the trusted choice of hundreds of businesses in various fields: from food, mechanics, textiles to logistics, warehousing, high-tech manufacturing... It's not by chance that customers continue to return and recommend us to their partners. Here are the distinctive values that make us the preferred choice.
We not only have design expertise but also practical experience from real projects. Each factory design project we undertake includes thorough terrain surveys, understanding industry specifics, and thoroughly addressing "difficult problems" such as weak foundations, high-load areas, or factories located in residential areas requiring noise and dust control. Practical experience is the "compass" that helps us provide design solutions that closely match needs and budgets.
We have a team of structural engineers, architects, M&E experts, legal construction specialists... who are well-trained and have extensive experience in industrial design. Especially, each production sector has its own requirements, and we assign dedicated engineers for each industry to ensure precise design down to every detail.
A beautiful drawing is not necessarily an effective one. BIC designs with the mindset of "Optimizing investment, maximizing utility value." That means each layout plan, material choice, structural solution is considered based on criteria:
- Does it reduce investment costs?
- Does it shorten construction time?
- Is it flexible for future expansion?
- Does it optimize operation and save energy?
This is why many customers choose us not only for factory design but also for consulting effective investment plans from the beginning.
We not only draw but also understand factory construction standards: from Vietnamese Standards (TCVN), fire prevention guidelines, Ministry of Construction regulations, to strict requirements of international certification systems like GMP, ISO 9001, ISO 22000...
Thanks to our understanding and continuous updates of these regulations, we always design to standards from the start, helping investors avoid adjustments, supplements, or acceptance rejections later.
We do not charge for preliminary consultations or field surveys, which is our transparent commitment and goodwill to accompany. We always want to understand the production model, investment goals, and customer expectations to provide personalized, non-copy, non-mass solutions. Our service starts with listening and is guided by expertise.
Each contract has specific terms on completion time, drawing adjustment procedures, and support responsibilities during construction. Additionally, we provide design warranties, meaning if any issues arise from the drawings during construction, our technical team will coordinate timely handling, ensuring businesses are not left to manage on their own.
Choosing BIC means choosing a companion who understands the profession, the industry, and you. And that is what creates sustainable differences in every factory project we help build.
When choosing a factory design consulting unit, what customers truly seek is not just a set of drawings but a comprehensive solution that helps the project operate efficiently, save costs, and easily expand in the future. We understand that and always commit to delivering more than expected.
Professional factory design consulting is not just about arranging a "beautiful and sufficient" factory but must be suitable for actual operations, from raw material movement, machinery layout, storage, to emergency exits and technical areas.
We always start by asking: "What will the business produce? For how long? Will there be expansion in 2–5 years?" – from there, we provide designs that are appropriate for the present and flexible for the future. This helps customers save significantly when upgrading or expanding the factory without having to demolish and rebuild from scratch.
Many investors have faced difficulties when design documents do not meet legal requirements, leading to construction permit rejections or failure to meet fire prevention standards. With us, that almost never happens.
BIC always provides a complete set of factory design documents, including: architecture, structure, electricity, water supply and drainage, fire prevention, cost estimation reports, and detailed construction drawings. Additionally, we support consulting on related procedures such as: construction permits, fire prevention approvals, environmental impact assessments, bidding designs... This helps businesses shorten preparation time and accelerate project commencement.
We do not just hand over drawings and end our responsibility. On the contrary, our team of engineers and architects will accompany investors throughout the construction process, from explaining drawings to contractors, adjusting drawings when actual issues arise, to coordinating with construction supervision units.
Many of our customers appreciate the feeling of "not being abandoned midway" – because whenever technical issues arise, we are always present to provide timely support. This is a value that not all design units are willing to offer.
One common mistake in factory design is following trends orusing unnecessarily complex solutions, which inflate investment costs without increasing usability. Our approach is the opposite: we only invest in what truly brings long-term effectiveness.

With our experience supporting hundreds of companies in the industrial sector, we have developed a scientific, optimized, and easy-to-track consulting process that helps clients effectively monitor progress and costs.
Upon receiving a request from the client, our specialists will reach out to collect essential information such as:
- The total land area intended for construction
- Type of production/business activities
- Production goals, storage needs, machinery flow, number of employees, etc.
Afterward, we conduct a direct on-site survey to assess factors like terrain, soil structure, existing technical infrastructure, and the surrounding environment. This is a critical step to ensure the final design matches the actual conditions and prevents construction risks.
Based on the collected data, we will develop a preliminary layout plan, accompanied by a layout drawing that simulates operational flow and functional zoning (production area, warehouse, office, fire safety, technical rooms, etc.).
Clients are advised on specific solutions such as:
- Why choose steel structure or concrete?
- Is a separate drainage or exhaust system necessary?
- Is there enough space for future expansion?
This phase involves two-way discussion to ensure that the design aligns with the client's business objectives, budget, and expectations.
After agreeing on the preliminary plan, BIC will provide a detailed quotation by design category, expected completion timeline, and technical warranty terms.
The contract will be clear and transparent regarding:
- Scope of work
- Timeline for each phase
- Responsibilities of both parties when changes arise
The signing of the contract is not just a commitment to design quality, but also a promise of on-time delivery, ongoing support, and long-term collaboration from our technical team.
Once the contract is signed, our team of architects begins preparing the complete technical documentation, including:
- General architectural drawings
- Structural drawings (foundations, frame, floor, roof)
- Electrical – plumbing – ventilation – fire protection drawings
- Drawings for emergency exits, first aid, and environmental sanitation
- Preliminary cost estimates and material quantity calculations
Clients will receive regular updates on the progress. Upon completion, the full documentation will be handed over in both printed and digital formats (CAD/PDF), ready for bidding, permit applications, and official approvals.
What makes BIC’s process unique is our proactiveness and transparency. Without clients having to ask, we continuously provide updates, offer thorough consultations at every step, and never shirk responsibility after delivering the drawings.
A good factory design doesn’t just save you hundreds of millions of dong during the investment phase—it is also the key to long-term, safe, and sustainable operational success.
