AAC WORLDWIDE %u2022 3.2025 PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY 57preliminary plant layout tailored not only to current business goals but also to long-term operational flexibility %u2013 giving clients a clearer view of the property requirements and how to make the most of their available space.Infrastructure and location analysisThe infrastructure and location analysis in Phase 1 ensures that the client%u2019s factory is not only well-designed, but strategically placed for long-term success. Aircrete%u2019s experts conduct a thorough assessment of client%u2019s proposed site(s), beginning with on-site visits to evaluate the location, access to utilities and infrastructure, proximity to key suppliers and raw material sources, etc. This helps to determine the most efficient and cost-effective location and supply chain flow. Beyond logistics, local infrastructure is analyzed in detail: land pricing, road and utility access, electricity and water availability, financial incentives from (local) governments and municipalities and compliance with local regulations. Based on this research, Aircrete delivers a tailored infrastructure and building guidance that includes foundation planning, access roads, building information and all necessary utility connections and requirements. Aircrete engages in discussion with local contractors, selected by the client to clarify items and support the contractors in their work to determine the costs for the building and infrastructure. Client visits to other existing Aircrete factories will be arranged, offering firsthand insight into how Aircrete implements infrastructure strategies in the real world. This combination of technical evaluation and real-world reference provides the clarity and confidence to choose the right location and prepare it for a factory that performs from the ground up. In addition, Aircrete provides technical drawings and information of items that can be sourced locally, so that the client will be able to obtain pricing from local fabricators. Aircrete can also provide a technical audit of such suppliers to ensure that they are able to meet the required quality standards.HR planningHuman resources planning is a key component of Phase 1, bridging the gap between production strategy and operational readiness. Once the level of automation for the future AAC plant is defined, Aircrete prepares a detailed HR plan tailored to the specific production concept. This plan outlines the number of personnel required across all functional areas %u2013 production, maintenance, quality control, and administration %u2013 along with the skill sets, experience levels, and general qualifications required for each role. The plan will be prepared taken into account the potential existing business infrastructure of the client, so it is possible that some personnel functions will not be needed from the onset, as they can be filled in from the client%u2019s own network. This allows the client to assess local labor market conditions, identify potential recruitment sources, and estimate realistic costs. These insights feed directly into the broader financial model, ensuring that labor-related expenses are accurately reflected in the plant%u2019s long-term business plan. By incorporating HR planning early in the process, Aircrete enables clients to plan for hiring, training, and organizational structure %u2013 ultimately supporting a more efficient transition from project execution to plant operation.Financial modelMany deliverables outlined earlier serve as foundational components of the Aircrete financial model. The financial model is one of the most decisive commercial deliverables of Phase 1, offering a clear projection of the factory%u2019s financial and operational performance, including operational production details, financial statements, multiple-year forecasts, detailed revenue and cost breakdowns and valuation returns. Based on Aircrete%u2019s unique strategic involvement as an investor in multiple factories around the world, Aircrete has gained deep insights into the very details of AAC production and have built a proprietary operational and financial model based on this. Building on the production cost analysis, market competitiveness assessment, local variables adjustments and HR analysis, Aircrete prepares a detailed, customized operational and financial model for the proposed factory solution. This model includes projected income statements and balance sheets over a decade horizon, reflecting realistic revenue and expense forecasts.
