Brewery construction costs vary based on building size, production capacity, and finish level.

The decision depends on your production goals, budget, and property options. Renovating existing buildings provides character and community connection, which plays well in historic Middleburg. However, older buildings may limit your ability to produce desired volume or accommodate the taps and food service you envision. New construction offers design flexibility and purpose-built infrastructure. We help you evaluate both approaches during preconstruction.
Timeline depends on project scope. Taproom renovations might take 3-4 months, while new brewery construction typically requires 8-14 months from design through completion. Permitting, equipment delivery schedules, and seasonal weather all play a role. We develop realistic timelines during preconstruction that account for these variables.

Some founders even plan facilities that can accommodate both brewing and distillery operations. Our commercial construction experience gives us flexibility to work across different beverage production types.
Look for contractors with genuine commercial construction experience and the ability to self-perform work rather than managing subcontractors. Seek a company that maintains open communication and offers preconstruction services to develop realistic budgets before you commit significant resources. Pay attention to how they handle feedback and whether they’re excited about your vision. The way a contractor approaches collaboration plays a big role in project success and your experience throughout construction.
