Facility Design

Questions about cannabis facility design, construction, and optimization
What types of cannabis facilities does Urth & Fyre design?
Answered By
Trevor Christensen

We design and optimize indoor cultivation facilities, greenhouses, hybrid operations, and processing/extraction labs. Our work spans ground-up construction, tenant improvements, and retrofits of existing spaces. We've designed and renovated over 1,000,000 square feet of cannabis cultivation facilities across multiple states and international markets, including indoor grows, mixed-light greenhouses, and shipping container operations.

What does a cannabis facility design project include?
Answered By
Trevor Christensen

A typical facility design engagement covers environmental control system design (HVAC, dehumidification, CO2 enrichment), lighting layout and specification, irrigation and fertigation system planning, room configuration and workflow optimization, electrical planning, biosecurity protocols, and compliance-ready floor plans. We coordinate with your architects, engineers, and contractors to ensure every system works together for maximum yield and efficiency.

How long does a typical facility design project take?
Answered By
Trevor Christensen

Timelines depend on project scope. A focused optimization of an existing facility can show measurable results within 30-60 days. Ground-up facility design typically takes 3-6 months from concept to construction-ready plans, with construction timelines varying based on size and local permitting. We build detailed project timelines during the initial consultation so you have clarity on every phase.

Cultivation & Strategy

Questions about cultivation consulting, optimization, and business strategy
What results can I expect from cultivation consulting?
Answered By
Trevor Christensen

Results vary by facility, but our track record includes documented outcomes such as a 985% ROI with $6.7M in projected profit, yield increases from 13 to 35 lbs per shipping container (269% increase), room production improvements from 23 to 80 lbs per room (347% increase), yield density improvements to 67 g/ft², and compliance pass rates improving from 65% to 83%. Every engagement starts with a baseline assessment so we can set measurable targets and track progress.

Do you provide ongoing support or just one-time consulting?
Answered By
Trevor Christensen

We offer both. Some clients engage us for a focused project — like a facility design or a 90-day optimization sprint — while others retain us for ongoing cultivation management support, quarterly reviews, and continuous improvement. Many of our most successful partnerships are long-term relationships where we monitor KPIs, adjust strategies seasonally, and help scale operations over time.

What geographic areas do you serve?

Marisa Lloyd

Urth & Fyre is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, but we consult nationally and internationally. We've completed projects across multiple U.S. states and international markets including New Zealand. Our consulting model works effectively both on-site and remotely, with regular facility visits for hands-on projects and remote data monitoring for ongoing optimization.

We maintain a curated marketplace of verified premium used and new cannabis processing and extraction equipment, including rotary evaporators, vacuum ovens, chillers, HPLC analyzers, filling machines, wash machines, distillation systems, centrifuges, and other lab and post-harvest processing equipment. Every piece is verified for condition and specifications before listing.

How do I get started?
Answered By
Trevor Christensen

The easiest way to start is by requesting a free facility assessment through our contact page. We'll schedule an initial consultation to understand your goals, evaluate your current situation, and determine how Urth & Fyre can help — whether that's facility design, cultivation optimization, business strategy, or equipment procurement. There's no obligation, and the initial assessment helps both parties determine if we're the right fit.

What makes Urth & Fyre different from other cannabis consulting firms?
Answered By
Trevor Christensen

Three things set us apart. First, depth of technical expertise — our founder Trevor Christensen brings over a decade of hands-on experience specifically in cannabis facility design and cultivation optimization, backed by more than 1,000,000 square feet of completed projects. Second, we're results-obsessed. Every recommendation ties to measurable outcomes: yield per square foot, cost per gram, ROI, and profitability. Our published case studies show 985% ROI, 269-347% yield increases, and millions in documented revenue improvement. Third, we combine facility design, cultivation science, business strategy, and equipment procurement under one roof — eliminating the gaps that occur when operators piece together advice from multiple disconnected consultants.
