Before You Build: Bruys Henderson on Designing Smarter Cannabis Facilities

Bruys Henderson of Artemis Engineering & Procurement discusses cannabis facility design, zoning, phasing, cost control and building stronger cultivation teams.

Episode Introduction

Some of the biggest cultivation decisions happen long before the first plant enters the room.

Zoning, facility layout, equipment, mechanical systems, construction costs and the assumptions behind the business all begin shaping the operation before cultivation starts.

At Cannabis & Community in Duluth, Stephen Eigenmann and Nolan Russell of NorthStar Cultivation Supply sat down with Bruys Henderson of Artemis Engineering & Procurement to talk about how those decisions come together.

Bruys has spent roughly 14 years working around cannabis facilities. His experience includes cultivation facilities, dispensaries and extraction labs, giving him a front-row seat to projects that worked, projects that struggled and operators who learned expensive lessons before building the next version.

This conversation is about learning earlier.
