The Catalyst BC Team was hired to support Galaxy Labs LLC, our Illinois Social Equity Craft Cultivator/Extractor to carefully plan, design, and specify complex phased construction. While our Galaxy Labs team is versed in complex construction, there were many nuances we were not initially confident of and expert guidance (from “sherpas”, as they often say), was deeply important to us. The Catalyst BC Team provided broad and deep insights critical to controlling current and later costs and preparing for high quality, high consistency, and high output from a modest footprint. From helping to vet the design team to furnishing internal Control Budgets and Gantt CPM schedules, Catalyst BC brought sophistication and confidence to our A/E/C process. In a few days, Galaxy Labs will launch live, well-positioned to cultivate high-quality craft cannabis with proprietary and bespoke Allele genetics in a state-of-the-art controlled environment indoor agriculture facility. We recommend the Catalyst BC Team to anyone looking to reduce costs, to increase yields, productivity, quality, and consistency, and to increase enterprise value.
