We utilize the latest technology and modern concepts in dairy design to meet both your and the regulatory agencies’ high standards.

The Preliminary Engineering Design Study (PEDS)
Dairy owners around the world have had great success using a PEDS from Five-G Consulting, Inc. The PEDS is a custom engineering design package tailored to your dairy. No two dairies are exactly alike and no two dairymen have exactly the same needs. The PEDS will clearly outline your game plan for construction, improvements and expansion. You will use this study for discussions with partners, regulatory agencies, finance groups and other interested parties. The design study will be your master plan for growth over the next 10 to 20 years.

Here is what you get:

One or two site visits to: A) capture your requirements first hand, B) customize your facility to best fit your land and C) complete the process ensuring your satisfaction.
Site survey (records: existing features, topography, drainage, road access, plus data on wind, weather and other unique factors to plan around)
Your master plans (blueprints showing existing conditions, the new farmstead master plan, plus main features of the new improvements)
PEDS Report (recommendations, cost estimates, and a descriptive photo section)
