A well-designed dairy facility makes daily operations more efficient. Fewer unnecessary movements, well-organized work areas, and improved safety all contribute to a more productive operation.
We design every project around the way work is actually performed on your farm.
We use strong, durable building materials that withstand the demanding conditions of agricultural environments while remaining easy to maintain for years to come.
Efficient ventilation, proper lighting, comfortable resting areas, and smooth animal movement all contribute to healthier cows and a more efficient dairy operation.
For barn layouts, free-stall housing has become the standard for new dairy facilities because it promotes animal welfare by allowing cows to move freely between resting, feeding, and milking areas.
Individual stalls equipped with mats are often recommended for larger herds because they require less bedding and help maintain cleaner udders.
The choice of milking system has a direct impact on the building's design. Robotic milking systems require dedicated traffic patterns that support either free-flow or guided cow movement.
A modern four-row free-stall barn is typically about 30.5 metres (100 feet) wide, providing efficient circulation and an optimized feed alley.
The 2023 Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle establishes strict standards for dairy farm construction, including the future requirement, effective in 2027, to provide cows with opportunities for daily exercise.
Construction regulations generally require engineering plans sealed by a licensed professional engineer for projects exceeding $100,000.
