The first meeting is about more than obtaining a price per square metre. It is an opportunity to clarify what will be produced, what the building needs to accommodate and which works will be undertaken. Start with the information you have and identify any gaps during the discussion.
1. Share the site location and available information
The province, district, organised industrial zone if applicable, and plot details help establish the investment location. State the site area, whether any buildings already exist and which drawings you have. If site selection is still in progress, mention this at the first meeting.
- Title deed, existing plans and site sketch, if available
- Existing buildings or structures being considered for removal
- Available ground and infrastructure information
This list is preparation for an initial meeting, not a complete list of official application or permit documents.
2. Describe your production requirements before the building
Consider the production process, machinery layout, incoming materials and outgoing products together. Two factories of the same size can have different spatial requirements. Share any known machine dimensions, working areas and maintenance clearances.
- Production activity and planned capacity
- Machinery list and layout drawing, if available
- Storage requirements for raw materials, work in progress and finished products
- Vehicle access, loading and dispatch arrangements
3. Break down your space requirements
Breaking down production, storage, offices, staff facilities and technical spaces is more useful than providing a single total floor area. Include requirements such as clear height, wide spans and crane use. Technical dimensions and loads are confirmed through engineering design.
- Production and storage areas
- Administrative offices and staff facilities
- Technical spaces and external areas
- Areas planned for future expansion
4. Consider the construction system and scope separately
A factory describes the building’s use. Precast reinforced concrete, structural steel and cast-in-place reinforced concrete are construction systems. Turnkey describes a delivery scope including building services and finishing works. You do not need to choose a system before the first meeting; requirements and project conditions can be reviewed together.
5. State your objectives and budget framework
Share your intended construction start and target production start as separate dates. Your budget framework, priorities and any proposed phasing also matter. A meaningful cost and programme assessment requires the construction system, technical needs and delivery scope to be defined alongside the building area.
6. Prepare a brief investment summary for the first meeting
A short introduction such as “We are planning a factory in Ankara for … production on a site of approximately … m². Our production area will be around … m². The construction system is not yet decided. We are considering turnkey delivery including finishing works” is a useful starting point. Leave unknown details blank and attach project drawings through the form if available.
Let’s Discuss Your Investment
Share what you know about your site, production requirements or existing project. If the construction system and scope are not yet defined, we can review them together.
