Why Leasing Matters
- Preserve Working Capital: By leasing a cleanroom facility instead of depleting cash accounts on fixed assets, you maintain liquidity for other income-generating expenses. Leasing enhances cash flow by promoting productivity while keeping your funds accessible.
- Safeguard Your Line of Credit: Lease payments don’t impact your bank credit lines and won’t appear as a liability on your balance sheet, preserving borrowing power for other business needs like inventory and payroll.
- Stay Ahead of Obsolescence: Lease the latest in facility technology and equipment to maintain a competitive edge.
- Enjoy Tax Benefits: Lease payments may be 100% tax-deductible as a business expense, in contrast to only depreciation and interest deductions for bank-financed equipment, resulting in a full write-off over the lease term. Please consult with your tax advisor for specifics on tax implications.
- Acquire today’s technology with tomorrow’s dollars.
- Benefit from Lower Monthly Payments: Leasing allows you to access a facility with payments that may span several budget years.

Phases
PHASE 1 – Programming/Program Verification
The User Requirements Specification (URS) documents play a vital role in the accomplishment of any project. This crucial document outlines the requirements that are essential for the production of the product and addresses the needs of end-users. Once the URS is created, it is then translated into a design requirements document known as the Basis of Design (BOD). The purpose of the BOD is to conclude and define the client’s requirements by providing detailed instructions that can be utilized in designing, engineering, and constructing a solution or facility that fulfills the client’s specifications.
PHASE 2 – Schematic Design (SD)
Following customer approval of the BOD, Germfree will prepare Schematic Design drawings and layouts illustrating conceptual layouts and workflow as agreed within the BOD. This includes spatial relationships, equipment layout, room cards and personnel/material flow. Also, in-depth research into jurisdictional regulations and requirements is completed during the SD phase. Deliverables from the SD phase include layouts and drawings of a site plan (if applicable), floor plans, elevations and spatial relationships. Upon SD approval and Design Freeze, some long lead items and materials may be released to procurement.
PHASE 3 – Detail Design (DD)
The DD phase produces both 2D & 3D drawings and renderings. P&ID’s, load calculations, diagrams, plans and detailed schematics are engineered. The DD package is submitted to the client for approval prior to the commencement of full-scale production and release of all items to procurement.
PHASE 4 – Fabrication Design (FD)
The fabrication design phase which focuses on design for fabrication. This phase is one of the most critical phases of a project. Engineers interpret the detailed design into drawings that drive the actual build and install of the facility itself.
