HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

Brewery Concept

Our in-house engineering team can lay out your brewery from scratch or design from supplied drawings on either hard copy or disk. NSI also offers on a retainer basis, a more complete Concept and Design Engagement. We will work in conjunction with your architect or designer to build a working model of your project on paper. We will supply schematics on all process, flows of the brewery, mechanical, electrical and plumbing requirements. Once this package is complete, you will have all the necessary materials to receive firm bids from all outside contractors and suppliers. Our customers that have used this engagement have found it invaluable when costingout a project. Of course most of this information is available once you purchase your equipment from us.
