Delivering specialized food and beverage construction solutions with a focus on food safety, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Food processing plant construction requires far more than standard industrial building experience. From strict sanitation requirements and complex production flows to USDA, FDA, and local regulatory oversight, food and beverage facilities demand precision at every stage of design and construction.
At Fitts & Goodwin, we understand what’s at stake. Since 1984, we have served as a trusted food processing construction partner for manufacturers and processors across South Carolina and the Southeast. Our team delivers facilities that protect product integrity, support worker safety, and allow operations to scale efficiently – without unnecessary downtime or costly redesigns.
Whether you’re planning a new facility, expanding production capacity, or renovating an active plant, we bring the experience and discipline required to deliver your project safely, on time, and on budget.
For the Food & Beverage Industry
As experienced contractors, we build facilities designed around sanitation, efficiency, and throughput. Our team collaborates closely with owners, engineers, and vendors to ensure layouts support proper product flow and separation.
From processing and packaging to cold storage and distribution. We understand the specialized mechanical, electrical, and refrigeration systems required to maintain food safety while minimizing energy costs.
Addressing unique challenges in hygiene and temperature control. We design and construct facilities for washdown environments, heavy equipment loads, and rigorous inspection standards.
Careful coordination of production lines, refrigeration, and sanitation. Our design-build approach integrates systems early, reducing conflicts and ensuring facilities operate as intended from day one.
We utilize phased construction, temporary partitions, and detailed safety protocols to minimize disruption while working within active plants, maintaining food safety and continuity.
We advocate for the design-build delivery method. Early collaboration allows us to identify constructability issues, control costs, and accelerate schedules before ground is broken.
The Project Manager who estimates your project manages it through completion. This continuity ensures transparency, accountability, and consistency.
Food safety is non-negotiable. We maintain rigorous standards and documentation to ensure every system meets regulatory requirements in demanding environments.
We design and build food processing facilities with sanitation and inspection requirements in mind from the start. This includes proper drainage, cleanable materials, controlled traffic flow, and coordination with regulatory agencies to ensure compliance at every phase.
Yes. Design-build is one of our core strengths and is particularly effective for food processing construction due to the complexity of systems, equipment coordination, and regulatory requirements.
Yes. We serve clients throughout the Southeast, delivering food and beverage construction projects across multiple states.
