Scenario overview
This reference scenario shows how an existing grower can evaluate retrofit priorities before committing to a full replacement or expansion package.

Confidentiality and scenario basis
Because many greenhouse developments are governed by confidentiality, client names and delivered-project details are not published here. This page is a reference project scenario that shows how we break down technology, budget, risk and supply chain for a comparable project before procurement.
Assumptions: Existing system condition, crop performance, water use and expansion constraints require on-site or owner-provided validation.
Planning challenge
Retrofit projects need a disciplined audit because replacing the wrong system first can consume budget without solving the production bottleneck.
- Identify whether climate, water, labour or structure is the limiting factor.
- Separate quick-return upgrades from strategic rebuild scope.
- Avoid supplier packages that hide interface responsibility.
Recommended project breakdown
Aegis would build a phased roadmap from audit findings, risk ranking and supplier scope comparison.

Project scenario questions
Why not rebuild everything?+
A staged retrofit can protect cash flow when the existing structure still has useful life, but it requires a clear priority matrix.
