Downtime, inefficient layouts, misaligned equipment, and hidden cost or schedule risks can derail production and ROI. Many manufacturers aren’t sure whether they should expand, retrofit, build new, or enhance existing operations with new equipment or process upgrades.
A M King helps you make the right call at any stage — whether it’s a major facility project or ongoing facility services. We take your vision from concept to completion seamlessly and efficiently, ensuring predictable outcomes, faster startup, and optimized production processes.
A M King’s single-source, Design-Build delivery creates a performance advantage for our industrial manufacturing clients. During the course of a project, our team works with our subcontractors, vendors, suppliers and consultants to accomplish a staggering number of formidable tasks — many of which take place in active facilities with no downtime for the client. In fact, collaboration might be the single most important part of Design-Build for this industry sector. Through clearly defined, open channels of communication, we gather accurate, timely information that speeds all aspects of project delivery and creates cost and schedule certainty.
Our design and construction teams add value for manufacturers through their:
Steps we take for successful results:
Due Diligence & Feasibility
Our teams are committed to early-stage project planning, whether it’s a new facility or renovation of the existing structure. Our process identifies the critical factors, a path to address each challenge, and funding requirements.
Process & Facility Integration
Just as our clients’ businesses and facilities are unique, so are the processes that power production. A M King’s facility experts become well-versed in every aspect of these processes, what it will take to safely transport materials, how best to ensure efficient operations, and meet or exceed company sustainability requirements.
Equipment Installation
Because ROI and speed to market are so crucial, preparing space for the machines prior to delivery is paramount. Preparation eliminates last-minute modifications and delays in completion, or changes once the equipment arrives. Our ongoing, onsite facility services put us in prime position for installing new equipment. Because we are so familiar with our client facilities, we have a head start on every project and can seamlessly coordinate upgrades or expansions. If new equipment is required, we handle the site prep and modifications while the machinery is being built, ensuring a turnkey transition without the learning curve of an outside contractor.
Safety and Operational Continuity
Safety is a true indicator of a project’s culture and its overall operating effectiveness. Projects that maintain safe work sites perform better in every aspect of project outcomes: schedule, quality and cost. Superior safety during construction also sets the standard for the operating environment.
Lean Design & Efficiency
Lean manufacturing centers on the elimination of waste in the form of inefficiencies related to labor, movements and materials essential to the manufacturing process. At A M King, whether it’s the development of a new facility, or in the projects we do daily — renovating and modernizing facilities — we are continually charged with assisting our clients in making their manufacturing processes more efficient. Applying lean principles during the design phase of a project creates a successful foundation for our clients.
For every manufacturing project, we leverage our existing knowledge of our client’s facilities to bring value and efficiency, managing the process from the time the idea is born through equipment commissioning.
A M King partners with you to design, build and renovate facilities that evolve with automation, new products, and workforce requirements. Through smarter planning and integrated execution, we reduce your risk, accelerate production, and maximize ROI. Call us today and let us help with your next manufacturing project.
