Estimated Start-Up and Operating Costs

Informed business plans require accurate estimation of costs. Creating financial projection for large scale cannabis operations is challenging but we are here to help.

Facility Design

Amazing gardens require fantastic facilities. Let us relieve the stress of design for existing or future buildings facilities, including spaces for mother plants, vegetative growth spaces, quarantine, research & development, processing, packaging, and storage. Employee facilities including breakroom, conference room, bathrooms, locker rooms, office(s), and security. Cultivate Humboldt can produce actionable designs and work with architects and contractors to make gardens happen.

Environmental Controls

Bringing mother nature indoors can be challenging. We’ll help you select the best products to monitor and control environmental factors including, temperature, humidity, carbon-dioxide level, air-movement and exchange. As well as, detect and alert for water leaks, smoke, and dangerous levels of carbon dioxide. We will also show you how to implement equipment with designs for HVAC systems, dehumidification systems, air circulation devices, odor, and other controls. Includes consulting for product selection and implementation.

We are TrolMaster Trained Installers. All of the garden spaces we design include the convenience and reliability of TrolMaster environmental monitors and controls.
