Factory construction is an investment that sets the pace of your production line, your operating cost and your workplace safety for decades. Since 1998 Savaş Grup A.Ş. has been building steel-frame, reinforced-concrete and precast production plants for the automotive, food, textile, chemical and metal industries — from soil survey to commissioning under a single contract. Plants of 5,000–50,000 m² are delivered in 8–18 months depending on the plant programme.
Who Is This Service For?
- Industrialists building a new plant — production building, offices and staff facilities from scratch on an industrial-zone plot.
- Companies expanding capacity — an additional production hall, warehouse, cold store or logistics centre next to an existing plant.
- Foreign investors — a single point of contact for permits, incentives and building inspection when setting up a production base in Türkiye.
- Plants rebuilding after the earthquake — steel-frame reconstruction of damaged facilities in the Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Malatya and Gaziantep industrial zones.
Scope: From Soil Survey to Commissioning
- Plot-specific soil survey and foundation design (raft, pad, piled or ground improvement)
- Architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical construction drawings; industrial-zone and municipal permits
- Steel structure fabrication and erection; precast concrete column-beam systems
- Sandwich-panel roof and cladding, skylights, industrial doors and loading docks
- Industrial flooring: fibre-reinforced, surface-hardened, jointed concrete slabs; heavy machine foundations
- Crane runways, ventilation, compressed air, fire detection and suppression, power infrastructure
- Office building, canteen, changing rooms and landscaping
- Commissioning: testing, occupancy and operating permits; post-handover technical support
Steel, Concrete or Precast?
The right structural system depends on span, clear height, machine loads, fire class and schedule. We decide together at feasibility stage:
| System | Where it excels | Watch out for |
| Steel frame | Wide spans (24–40 m), fast erection, crane runways, future extension | Fire-protection coating, corrosion detailing |
| Precast concrete | Repetitive grids, high fire resistance, food and chemical plants | Transport and crane logistics |
| Cast-in-place concrete | Multi-storey production, heavy vibrating machinery, clean rooms | Longer formwork and curing time |
In earthquake-affected regions and on weak ground we favour steel for its lightness and ductility; see factory construction in the earthquake zone.
Seismic Code, Ground and Industrial Loads
Every plant is designed to the industrial-building provisions of the Turkish Seismic Code (TBDY 2018). Machine vibration, dynamic crane loads, racking systems and roof snow load enter the structural model from day one — no "the machine changed" surprises later. The soil report sets the foundation type and slab thickness; on alluvial ground from the Amik Plain to Çukurova, piles or ground improvement are budgeted from the start.
Process and Timeline
- Survey and plant programme (1–2 weeks) — production flow, machine layout, expansion reserve.
- Feasibility and concept (2–3 weeks) — structural system, 3D layout, budget range.
- Construction drawings and permits (2–3 months) — industrial-zone/municipal approvals, building inspection.
- Ground and foundations (1–3 months) — including ground improvement where needed.
- Structure and envelope (3–6 months) — steel fabrication runs in parallel at the workshop.
- Industrial floor, MEP and finishes (2–4 months).
- Testing, commissioning and handover (2–4 weeks).
Because steel fabrication proceeds in the workshop while the site is prepared, a typical 10,000 m² production hall is ready for production in 9–12 months.
Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
Rooftop solar infrastructure, heat-recovery ventilation, daylight control and rainwater harvesting are now standard design inputs. For investors targeting LEED or BREEAM we plan the requirements at design stage; read more in efficiency and sustainability in industrial facilities.
Why Savaş Grup?
- One contract, one contact: design, permits, fabrication, erection, MEP and commissioning in the same team.
- Transparent quantity-based proposals: itemised bill of quantities, progress-based payments.
- 27+ years, 22 countries: plant experience across Türkiye, the Balkans, North Africa and the Gulf; a team fluent in international standards — see factory construction to international standards.
- ISO 9001 quality management: certified quality-control protocols in fabrication and on site.
- In-house design team: with our design and 3D rendering service the investor sees the plant before ground is broken.
Where We Work
Headquartered in Istanbul, we have built plants across Türkiye — the Marmara, Aegean and Mediterranean industrial zones first of all — and in 22 countries. For foreign investors, the "materials from you, labour from us" and joint-venture models are explained on our project partnership page.
Share your plant programme (production area, clear height, machine list, target date) and we will prepare a free survey, a structural-system recommendation and your quantity-based proposal.
