Food & Beverage Processing Facility Construction ServicesDesign & Construct
At Bohden Contracting Group, we specialize in full-service construction and facility maintenance solutions tailored specifically for the food and beverage manufacturing sector. We know that when you’re operating a production line, every minute counts—and when regulatory compliance is involved, you simply cannot afford shortcuts.
We deliver turnkey solutions for food and beverage producers that combine engineering, construction, and operational excellence—while meeting the exacting standards of the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
We understand that construction for the food and beverage sector isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about building compliance into the infrastructure.
- FSMA & Preventive Controls: The FDA’s FSMA shifts the focus from responding to contamination to preventing it. Facilities must implement written food-safety plans, hazard analysis, preventive controls, and ensure sanitary design across the supply chain.
- 21 CFR 117 – cGMP & Preventive Controls for Human Food: Equipment, utensils, facility design, cleaning/sanitizing, plumbing, water supply, storage—all must meet detailed requirements for food-contact surfaces and sanitary conditions.
- USDA Requirements: In meat, poultry, egg-product plants and other regulated sectors the USDA mandates rigorous facility design, clean zones, controlling cross-contamination, allergen prevention and traceability. Our construction practices integrate these requirements.
- Audit-Ready Facilities: We build with the mindset that your facility will be audited—by FDA, USDA or third-party certification bodies. Cleanable surfaces, hygienic drains, segregated raw/cooked flows, proper ventilation, access for inspection—all of the details matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
General
What types of food and beverage facilities do you build?
We design and construct a wide range of food and beverage production environments — including processing plants, bottling and packaging lines, dairies, bakeries, meat and poultry facilities, ready-to-eat meal plants, beverage and brewery operations, and cold-storage distribution centers.
Can you help with facility expansions or renovations?
Absolutely. Whether you’re expanding an existing line, modernizing for new product categories, or upgrading to meet new regulatory requirements, we provide phased renovation and addition services that minimize downtime while maintaining compliance during construction.
Do you provide maintenance or facility support after construction?
Yes. Bohden Contracting Group provides ongoing facility maintenance, repair, and operational support after project completion. This includes preventive maintenance programs, MEP service, HVAC support, and emergency response to keep your plant running smoothly.
What does “sanitary design” mean in food facility construction?
Sanitary design means creating a facility that minimizes the risk of contamination. This includes smooth, cleanable surfaces, proper drainage, hygienic wall and floor systems, controlled airflows, segregated production zones, and materials that resist bacteria and moisture. Every element—from floors to utilities—is built for food safety.
What materials are best for food-safe construction?
We use stainless steel, epoxy and urethane flooring, washable wall systems, non-porous finishes, and FDA-approved sealants. These materials resist corrosion, moisture, and bacterial growth while standing up to daily cleaning and sanitization.
FDA / USDA Compliance & Regulations
Are your projects compliant with FDA and USDA regulations?
Yes. All of our food and beverage projects are designed and constructed to meet FDA, USDA, and FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act) requirements. We build with sanitary design principles in mind, ensuring your facility is audit-ready and compliant from day one.
How do you ensure FDA and USDA compliance during construction?
We integrate compliance from the very start. Our project managers, engineers, and quality control teams follow cGMP, FSMA, and USDA sanitation guidelines throughout the project—covering materials, layout, utilities, process piping, and finishes. We also collaborate directly with your QA and regulatory teams to ensure alignment before turnover.
Do you provide cleanroom or controlled environment construction?
Yes. For clients requiring high-sanitation zones, microbiological control, or specialized environmental conditions, we design and build cleanrooms, controlled-temperature areas, and hygienic processing spaces that meet applicable ISO and GMP standards.
Can you handle process piping and equipment installation?
Yes. We offer process piping fabrication and installation, mechanical and electrical integration, and equipment setting for production lines, ensuring all systems are hygienic, efficient, and compliant with cGMP and FDA regulations.
What is your experience with FSMA (Food Safety Modernization Act)?
We have extensive experience building and upgrading facilities under FSMA standards. Our designs incorporate preventive control requirements, hygienic zoning, traceability, and sanitation-ready layouts to help producers maintain continuous compliance.
