Manufacturing construction demands specialist knowledge of process environments, commissioning protocols, and the unique CDM risks of building within operational facilities. We provide project management and CDM compliance from concept through commissioning and validation.
Select your manufacturing environment
Manufacturing production lines, assembly plants, and processing facilities. Construction within or adjacent to live production environments demands rigorous isolation procedures, contamination prevention, and coordination with production schedules to minimise downtime.

Commissioning phases
Manufacturing commissioning follows a structured sequence from installation verification through production validation.
Pre-Commissioning
Typical: 4-8 weeksVerification that installed systems are complete and ready for testing. Includes visual inspections, dead testing, loop checks, and confirmation that all prerequisites are met before introducing energy, fluids, or materials.

Manufacturing projects delivered
“Matthews & Roberts managed the construction of our new pharmaceutical cleanroom facility from design through to validation. Their understanding of both CDM requirements and GMP commissioning protocols meant we achieved ISO 14644 classification on the first attempt.”
Facilities Director
Pharmaceutical Manufacturer, Cheshire
“Our warehouse expansion was constructed adjacent to our live distribution operation handling 50,000 parcels per day. Matthews & Roberts managed the construction interface, ensuring zero disruption to our operation throughout the 12-month build programme.”

Manufacturing project questions
Yes. This is a core competence. Manufacturing construction frequently requires work alongside or within operational production environments. We develop construction interface management plans that address isolation procedures, contamination prevention, service continuity, production schedule coordination, and emergency response. Our approach minimises production disruption while maintaining construction progress.
We manage cleanroom construction projects requiring ISO 14644 classification from ISO Class 5 to ISO Class 8. This includes pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and food manufacturing environments. Our project management integrates construction delivery with the rigorous commissioning and validation protocols that controlled environments demand.
Manufacturing environments create specific CDM risks beyond standard construction — DSEAR/ATEX zones, confined spaces, heavy overhead crane operations, process chemical exposure, and live machinery interfaces. Our Principal Designers address these sector-specific hazards in pre-construction information and ensure contractors develop method statements appropriate to the manufacturing environment.
Yes. We provide commissioning management from pre-commissioning through hot commissioning and Site Acceptance Testing. This includes developing commissioning plans, coordinating specialist commissioning contractors, managing commissioning documentation, and ensuring systems achieve performance specifications before operational handover.
We provide project management and CDM advisory across production facilities, warehousing and logistics centres, cleanroom and controlled environments, food and beverage manufacturing, pharmaceutical production, and general industrial buildings. Our experience spans new-build, refurbishment, and extension projects.
We ensure CDM pre-construction information identifies DSEAR zones and ATEX requirements, that designers account for explosive atmosphere risks in their designs, and that contractors develop appropriate method statements for working within or adjacent to classified zones. This includes construction hot works management within DSEAR-classified areas.
Yes. Manufacturing projects typically involve significant process equipment installation — production lines, packaging equipment, storage systems, and specialist plant. We coordinate between building contractors and equipment suppliers, manage installation sequences, and ensure building services are ready for equipment commissioning.
Manufacturing construction involves specialist temporary works including heavy crane lifts for equipment installation, structural propping during building modifications, temporary environmental controls for cleanroom construction, and temporary services to maintain production during construction phases.
