Market Overview

ARCO/Murray partners with controlled environment agriculture operators to design and build facilities for greenhouse production, indoor cultivation, and vertical farming operations. Our experience includes large-scale greenhouses, indoor grow facilities, and cultivation environments where specialized infrastructure, environmental controls, and operational systems shape facility design.

We design and build controlled environment agriculture facilities that depend on precise coordination between cultivation systems, environmental controls, and building infrastructure to maintain stable growing conditions, efficient resource use, and reliable production operations.

Our Approach

Design-build is how we create cost and schedule certainty in controlled environment agriculture projects. ARCO/Murray integrates engineering and construction early so facility design aligns with greenhouse systems, cultivation infrastructure, and the mechanical, electrical, and water systems that support controlled growing environments. This early coordination allows teams to evaluate energy demand, water management, and equipment layouts before construction begins.

For facilities where environmental consistency and operational reliability directly impact crop production, this integrated approach reduces coordination risk and supports a more predictable path from design through commissioning.

Single Point of Accountability
One contract and one integrated team coordinating greenhouse systems, cultivation infrastructure, and construction from concept through commissioning.
Upfront Budget Commitment
Cost alignment begins during design so environmental systems, utilities, and cultivation infrastructure are incorporated early.
Accelerated Project Delivery
Overlapping design, procurement, and construction helps operators bring greenhouse and indoor cultivation capacity online faster.
Environmental Systems Integration
HVAC, lighting, irrigation, and controls are coordinated with building systems to maintain stable growing conditions and reliable production.
In-House Technical Expertise
Internal teams supporting mechanical systems, power infrastructure, water management, and commissioning help streamline coordination and reduce project risk.
