If you’re planning a factory building or upgrading a production factory, the decisions you make now will define how well your business operates for years to come.
Whether you’re starting with a blank site or modifying an existing facility, Octego specialises in delivering high-performance factory spaces that increase output, reduce waste and meet the highest health and safety standards.
From concrete to cold rooms, we’ve got it covered.
Designing The Right Factory Building For Your Operation
Building a production facility from scratch isn’t just about walls, floors and ceilings. It’s about designing a space that supports your production line, improves logistics, and can scale with your business.
At Octego, we combine industrial construction experience with practical manufacturing insight to deliver factory buildings that work as hard as you do.
Production Factory Layout Is Key
A well-planned production factory layout reduces bottlenecks, streamlines the supply chain and minimises downtime. From segregated areas for raw materials and finished goods to optimised staff flow and forklift-friendly racking systems, every inch of your factory needs to earn its keep.
We don’t just build to spec. We consult on your entire workflow to make sure your layout works now, and years from now.
Real-World Support From Start To Finish
Our fit-out process includes:
- Initial consultation – We get to know your business, products and production needs
- Factory layout planning – Optimised flow and space usage
- Design & compliance – Meeting industry-specific safety and hygiene requirements
- Full construction & fit-out – Including walls, mezzanines, cladding, drainage and more
- Project management – End-to-end control from a dedicated expert
We act as a single point of contact, working with your team, subcontractors, suppliers and local authorities to ensure your project stays on track.
Why Octego?
We’ve worked on factory buildings for the food and drink industry, manufacturing, packaging, warehousing and more. No two builds are the same, and that’s exactly why you need a partner who brings practical ideas to the table.
Construction That’s Future-Proofed
We consider:
- Scale – Will you need to double your output in the next few years?
- Infrastructure – Can your utilities support new machinery or added shifts?
- Flexibility – Could the space evolve into a mixed-use production and office site?
We build for what you need today, without limiting what you can achieve tomorrow.
Built-In Hygiene And Safety
Compliance doesn’t come at the end, it’s designed in from day one. Whether your business is food, pharmaceuticals or precision engineering, our solutions include:
- Hygienic wall cladding
- Non-slip flooring
- Drainage and temperature control systems
- Zoned layouts for cross-contamination prevention
What’s Included In An Octego Production Factory Build?
Not Every Factory Building Needs To Start From Scratch
We specialise in fit-outs and refurbishments. If you already have a working site but need to increase output, improve efficiency or bring the space up to standard, Octego can handle the transformation without interrupting your production.
We’ll assess your current facility and deliver recommendations that balance your goals with cost-effectiveness. Sometimes, a few smart changes (like installing mezzanine floors, reorganising your pallet racking or upgrading hygienic cladding) can unlock serious gains.

A factory building project involves site analysis, planning, compliance checks, and full construction. Octego manages everything from groundworks and infrastructure to flooring, cladding, and mezzanines, ensuring your space is functional, compliant, and future-ready.
How Can A Factory Fit Out Improve Productivity?
A smart factory fit out enhances workflow, reduces downtime, and supports higher output. Octego designs layouts that optimise movement, storage, and access to key machinery, all tailored to your production needs.
