Just to be clear, not a full factory, but a modification within our existing factory that is adding a partitioned building and second floor inside our plant.

For reasons I'd rather not go into, I have a meeting with our architect tomorrow having now been given this to manage on behalf of the company. The architect is bringing plans for review and we will be discussing the materials to be used and timescales.

The expectation is that with direction from me the plans will be finalised then sent out to tender for actual construction. The biggest thing I have previously managed is a home extension. I have some doubts about the architects ability/commitment which may cloud the issue, I hope/plan to get these sorted first.

Are there any bomb craters I need to avoid, anything obvious?

My thought is, wall and floor materials, load bearing capacity of first floor. Electric points, network points, lighting, cabling for all of these, air conditioning. It's a fairly basic building with no special requirements, to be used on the ground floor and first floor as a production area but no heavy plant or machines involved.

Thanks in advance for any input.
