Food Processing

Frozen, fresh-pack and value-added processing plants, new or expanded.

What stands in the way

Processing on farm-zoned land is limited by state rules and county code, with conditions on size and where the crops come from. Process wastewater needs a discharge path before design starts: sewer, land application or a state permit. An existing farm building that starts processing usually loses any agricultural exemption and needs a change of occupancy. Boilers, fryers and dryers can bring in air quality permits.

What we answer first

Is processing allowed on this parcel, and under which review? Where does process wastewater go, and which permit covers it? Which occupancy applies, and is any part of the building exempt? Which food safety licenses apply: ODA or WSDA, plus FDA registration?

How SASHKOV helps

Consultant Coordination

SASHKOV defines, contracts, schedules and checks every licensed scope a project needs (survey, geotechnical, structural, civil and MEP) under one contract, with one point of accountability through permit issuance.

Site Investigation & Due Diligence

Before a purchase, a lease or a design contract, SASHKOV establishes the site as it actually is: its lines, its ground, its utilities, its water and the constraints on it. Each investigation is scoped to the decision in front of the owner and carried out with licensed professionals under one SASHKOV contract.

Feasibility & Regulatory Strategy

Approvals are the most common source of delay on Northwest projects. SASHKOV sets out the approval path before design dollars are spent and manages it through issuance.

Permit & Construction Documents

The documents SASHKOV issues are the record a project is reviewed, financed and built from. Sets follow the US National CAD Standard and are issued under a quality management system aligned with ISO 9001.

Land Use & Entitlements

Zoning, land use reviews, partitions, lot divisions and variances. SASHKOV confirms what a site is allowed to become, prepares the application and carries it through review and conditions of approval.

Corrections & Permit Recovery

Correction letters, stalled reviews, expired permits and stop-work orders. SASHKOV reads every comment, coordinates the responses across disciplines and resubmits until the permit is issued.
