We source the equipment, manage the build and set up the automation.
Dylan sources and orders the equipment and manages the trades. Ben builds the control system that runs the rooms.
Dylan has been to China and met the suppliers in person. He buys from them directly, so your equipment comes at the supplier's price and arrives in one container.
When it matters, we fly to China for you to inspect the equipment at the factory before it ships, so what arrives is exactly what was ordered.
The automation is the same system Ben runs at Legacy Ag: one controller for climate, irrigation, CO₂, lighting and alarms.

What is not included
The equipment itself, freight, the customs broker, duty and GST on import, and biosecurity clearance are separate. So are the electrician's and security installer's own work and fees.
