Solution
Most greenhouse investments fail on assumptions, not on equipment. Consulting engagements give investors and boards an independent technical and financial view before contracts are signed, and a second opinion when supplier proposals disagree.
Customer challenges
These are the failure points we see most often in greenhouse investments. Each one is addressed by a defined part of our scope.
Aegis earns no manufacturing margin and no commissions, so glazing, screen and automation recommendations follow climate data rather than a catalogue.
We rebuild the model with realistic ramp-up curves and price sensitivity, then show the payback range instead of a single flattering number.
Findings are delivered as a documented technology recommendation and risk register that stands up to lender and investor scrutiny.
Operational diagnostics compare climate, irrigation and crop data against design intent to isolate what is actually limiting yield.
We model production, revenue, energy and labour for your specific site and market, and stress-test the result against realistic yield ramp-up and price scenarios.
Glazing, screen configuration, heating strategy and automation level are chosen against climate data and crop requirements, then documented so suppliers quote the same scope.
We verify manufacturer capability and reference projects, and review running facilities where yield, energy use or crop quality is below plan.
How we work
Every phase ends in a document you can review, approve and hold suppliers to.
A structured discussion of your site, capital available, target crop and markets establishes whether a greenhouse project is viable at all.
Output: Scoping note and data request list
Climate records, water analysis, energy tariffs, land data and market pricing are gathered and validated for the specific location.
Output: Validated project data set
Production, energy, labour and revenue are modelled per crop cycle, then stress-tested against yield ramp-up and price scenarios.
Output: Financial model with sensitivity analysis
Structure, glazing, climate and automation options are scored against your climate and crop, with capex and opex consequences shown per option.
Output: Scored technology recommendation memo
Findings are presented to your board or lender with the risk register, open questions and a recommended next step.
Output: Board-ready investment summary

Yes. Consulting is a standalone service and many clients start with a feasibility study or a specification audit before deciding whether to continue into project development.
Aegis earns no manufacturing margin and receives no supplier commissions on recommendations. Selection criteria, scoring and shortlists are documented and shared with the client.
Location coordinates, available area, water source and quality, energy availability, target crop and target markets are enough to begin. Missing data is collected during the assessment phase.
Send us your location, available area and target crop. You will receive a structured first assessment with technology direction and an indicative investment range.
