We challenged smartcities to complete the project in just over five months. This was an incredibly fast-track schedule, given that retrofits of this scale, as we were told by our advisers, typically require at least eight to nine months. smartcities's versatility and experience with complex construction enabled them to meet this aggressive schedule while achieving our high quality and safety standards.

I am proud of the thoughtfulness, commitment and quality of work smartcities has demonstrated through the design, construction and commissioning of our production facility. Teamwork is critical to any project; the Starbucks and smartcities teams worked well together to achieve a first-class production facility.

We selected smartcities to be our design-build partner in this innovative poultry processing facility because of their reputation in the food industry with significant experience in food safety. We wanted to challenge smartcities to live up to its tagline, “Taking Solutions Further,” and we could not have been more satisfied with their innovative design, execution and the professionalism of their employees.
