project MANAGEMENT
Services & capabilities
Whether starting from raw dirt or retrofitting an existing facility, we bring a project management strategy focused on clear communications, financial discipline, vendor accountability, and providing active oversight.
Often a project starts from nothing more than a brand name or a concept idea. Let us bring form and structure to your project. We’ve been involved with many new-builds and retrofits and would be happy to contribute our knowledge.
Just as important as scoping and defining a project are the partners selected to bring visions to life. The wrong partner can create delays and cost overruns. Leverage our knowledge of local contractors and avoid the headaches.

CAPITAL BUDGETING & JUSTIFICATION
GO Build specializes in helping translate operational benefits to financial impact. Often it is difficult to calculate cost savings or yield improvement when deploying a new production asset. Whether its payback period, net present value, internal rate of return, or a combination of financial metrics, we can support the decision process with proven methods.
WINERY LAYOUT
Understanding the flow of grapes, juice, pomace, and wine through the winery can alleviate future headaches. GO Build will collect your production goals while taking into account site-specific concerns to generate ideal process flow and asset location. On-site bottling line or mobile bottler, caves or warehouse, custom crush or purchase bulk wine, each strategy has a direct impact on the optimal winery layout.
PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY
Today’s modern winery must contend with a growing number of production constraints including water, energy, labor, carbon, etc. Sustainability is a frequently used word and GO Build has an actionable definition: Minimize the amount of inputs to produce the same output. By following this, wineries will inherently increase their resiliency, improve margins, & aid their long-term sustainability.
PROCESS AUTOMATION
Basic automation is no longer just for the biggest wine producers. Wineries producing 1,000 - 4,000 cases present ample opportunity for automated data collection, remote monitoring, and ultimately automated control. Through very basic means, wineries can automate their tank & fermentation control while also managing CO2 evacuation and night-air cooling, all for less than $10k.
FINANCIAL & Production MODELING
Scenario planning is critical when weighing important decisions like switching from custom crush to estate production, or growing production to enter the wholesale market. Without the right combination of data and wine-industry specific insight, uninformed decision making can be costly and brand damaging. GO Build can ensure you’re asking the right questions and considering all options.
CRUSHPAD OPTIMIZATION
Whether you’re a small or large wine producer, minimizing solids while maximizing yield is always important. Selecting the right equipment needs to weigh throughput volume demands as well as quality requirements. The results of your crush pad activities sets the stage for the rest of a wine’s life. Let us help you retain the value the vineyard has created.
WIDE RANGING EXPERIENCE
From ornate and architecturally challenging to industrial, we have managed projects of all sizes and budgets. Need help with installing new processing equipment or delivering on a tight timeline during scheduled downtime, our team is accustomed to working under just about any set of conditions and are eager to demonstrate our capabilities on your future project.
