How to Prepare a Master Plan?

Creating a master plan is a long, drawn process with brainstorming sessions resulting in developing a strategy for land development. The master plan is a road map to the future of the organization. The roadmap is achieved after detailed and intense discussions with various project stakeholders. It is an iterative process before reaching a consensus.
The industrial architect should keep in mind not to limit flexibility. A flexible master plan helps in incorporating new technologies.

A masterplan must consider the following:

  • The priority of each building
  • Budget constraints if any
  • Cash outflow timeline
  • Project Timeline
  • Planning in terms of manpower and production
  • Branding
  • Zoning of each area
The industrial architect should prepare the master plan with an eye on the local codes & regulations, and geophysical and geotechnical surveys. The development of site infrastructure is also based on the master plan.
