Security Floor Plan Design with Expert Guidance

The purpose of the security floor plan design is to provide a visual representation of the security that will be installed at a proposed facility. This security design should not only demonstrate compliance but should also communicate the client's thorough security planning.

Security floor plan designs created without consulting professionals may not meet regulatory requirements. If the security design is not compliant or properly formatted, a business application could be denied. Additionally, even “legally compliant” floor plan designs may have gaps in security that increase the business’ risk of crime.

Whether a floor plan is being designed for a cannabis business application, cannabis facility design/build-out, or both, hiring professionals is the only way to ensure a quality and compliant cannabis floor plan.
