Frequently Asked Questions

How We Work

From land due diligence to construction supervision: the phases of a WZWX project, what shapes your timeline, how fees work and who signs drawings.

What to Check Before Buying Industrial Land

Eleven checks to make before buying a factory site — zoning, density, setbacks, access, power, soil and total cost. From industrial architects WZWX.

Land Due Diligence Study

Check industrial land before you buy. WZWX’s due-diligence study covers zoning, setbacks, codes, utilities, access and budget, so you know the site can build what you need.

How to build a factory in Taiwan: choosing a site, due diligence, design, permits and construction — and what affects your timeline. From industrial architects WZWX.

Corporate headquarters and factory office design

How to plan a corporate headquarters or factory office building: reception, offices, canteens and showrooms, designed with the factory. With real projects.

Energy-efficient factory design starts with the layout

Designing an energy-efficient factory: layout, shading, daylight, insulated cold zones, Taiwan’s EEWH-GF label, LEED and ESG, with two LEED Gold factories.

Choosing a factory design team in Taiwan

Who should I hire to design a factory in Taiwan?

It depends on the stage. Before you buy land, have a design team carry out land due diligence (zoning, floor-area ratio, setbacks, access and power), so you do not buy a site that cannot take the factory you need. During design, you need a team that can integrate process, circulation, structure and MEP. During construction, someone has to check quality and progress on your behalf. WZWX handles site masterplanning, the architecture and interiors of factories and factory offices, and supervision during construction. Permit drawings are signed and submitted by our long-standing partners, licensed architects in Taiwan. You deal with a single point of contact: WZWX.

How do I choose a design team for a factory and factory office?

Compare four things: completed factories and factory offices of a similar type; whether the team can assess the land and regulations before you buy; whether the design balances production efficiency, the working environment and future expansion; and who carries out supervision during construction, and how often they are on site. You can also ask about green-building results on past projects. For example, two factories WZWX designed in Taiwan, T-HAM’s Pingtung plant and Quest Composite’s factory and office in Taichung, are both certified LEED Gold.
