Facilities Integration & Governance (FIG)

Pre-Design / Pre-Procurement Strategy for Advanced Facilities

Definition
Precedes
Design.

Pre-design strategy and systems integration for advanced facilities. We align owner, operations, engineering, and delivery teams, defining environmental, mechanical, electrical, and operational performance criteria before procurement begins.

Cohelix operates as an upstream systems integrator, defining the conditions required for facilities to function before design begins.

The Framework Our Approach
GOVERNANCE Defined before design INTEGRATION Established before design PERFORMANCE Defined at inception DELIVERY STRATEGY Structured before procurement DESIGN + PROCUREMENT BEGIN With full definition in place BEFORE BEFORE BEFORE BEFORE DESIGN CXG-FIG-001

Engagement Context

Where Cohelix
Operates

Before Design

Governance, integration, and performance criteria defined before a design team is engaged.

Before Procurement

Delivery strategy and risk structure established before procurement packages are issued.

Before Capital

Stakeholder alignment and scope definition completed before capital is committed.

Cohelix operates in advanced facilities planning before design, before procurement, and before capital commitment, when governance, integration, and performance criteria must be defined.

System Risk

Failure Occurs
Before Design

Most facility failures originate upstream, before drawings exist. Misaligned program requirements, incomplete system definition, and fragmented procurement structures introduce risk that cannot be resolved downstream.

Failure Points We Eliminate

Incomplete Basis of Design
Execution-ready system definition
Late-stage system conflicts
Pre-aligned systems integration
Misaligned program requirements
Defined performance criteria at inception
Procurement fragmentation
Structured delivery pathways

The Framework

Cohelix
FIG™

Facilities Integration & Governance (FIG) defines environmental, structural, mechanical, electrical, and operational conditions, along with procurement pathways, for advanced facilities before design begins. Four core functions structure execution readiness at project inception.

Including vibration, acoustic, and system stability requirements where applicable.

Aligned with leading frameworks across pharmaceutical engineering, cleanroom science, laboratory performance, and emerging technology infrastructure.

Definition

  • Program alignment
  • Performance criteria
  • Stakeholder convergence

Integration

  • Mechanical, electrical, process, and envelope systems alignment
  • Environmental control, energy, and infrastructure coordination
  • Cross-disciplinary conflict resolution prior to design

Governance

  • Decision frameworks and control structures
  • Capital planning alignment and risk distribution
  • Procurement pathway and delivery model structuring

Execution Readiness

  • Basis of Design (BOD) development
  • Procurement packages
  • Delivery path definition

Includes infrastructure definition for emerging technologies, including quantum systems.

Execution Continuum

From Definition to
Execution Readiness

Three structured phases establish governance, translate it into executable frameworks, and position owner, operations, engineering, and delivery teams for aligned execution.

Governance & Integration

Establish governance, integration logic, and performance criteria.

  • Decision frameworks
  • System alignment
  • Performance definition

Translation & Execution Framework

Translate defined conditions into executable project frameworks.

  • Delivery strategy
  • Risk alignment
  • Stakeholder integration

Design & Execution Readiness

Position design and construction teams for aligned execution.

  • Design readiness
  • Constraint clarity
  • Execution continuity

Engagement Context

Institutions where definition precedes capital.

Cohelix engages within complex facility environments requiring early-stage definition, systems integration, and procurement alignment.

OWN

Owners / Institutions

Capital & Scope Clarity

Require clarity before committing capital and defining scope.

OPS

Operators

Systems & People Alignment

Depend on alignment between systems, people, and performance.

DSN

Design Teams

Upstream Definition

Operate more effectively when governance and integration are defined upstream.

CON

Constructors

Structured Delivery

Execute with reduced risk when delivery conditions are structured early.

INV

Investors / Stakeholders

Defined Outcomes

Benefit from defined outcomes prior to design-driven cost escalation.
