The Standard Bakery Concept
Austin first introduced the concept of standardization in manufacturing facility design and construction more than 80 years ago. Applying these principals to bakeries provides a "template" on which the best practices and design innovations can be incorporated and utilized on each new project. Key features include:

• It is a dynamic template constantly updated and refined
• Innovations and improvements are discussed after each project
• Input from leading equipment providers on integral design details
• Cost knowledge of preferred building systems
• A basis to begin planning and discussing design decisions
• A library of design, construction, and installation details
• Consolidated best practices in terms of layout and flows, design details, sustainability practices, materials and finishes, and construction techniques without disclosing proprietary practices and processes
• Reduction in overall planning schedule
• Improved effectiveness of design
