Managing capital projects isn’t just about meeting deadlines and budgets—it’s about ensuring every step aligns with strict regulatory compliance. From documentation to environmental controls and handover management, a misstep at any stage can lead to delays, increased costs, or even regulatory roadblocks.
At Hygenix, we specialize in managing capital projects with a focus on compliance success. Our expertise in document masterplanning, project-specific Quality Management Systems (QMS), Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) systems, protocol development for controlled environments, and turnover management ensures your facility is delivered on time, within budget, and fully compliant with industry regulations.
The Challenge of Compliance in Capital Projects
Life sciences capital projects operate under intense regulatory scrutiny. Guidelines from the FDA, EMA, ICH, and others govern everything from facility design to operational readiness. Through our experience, we’ve uncovered some key challenges:
- Comprehensive Documentation: Detailed records are required at every stage to demonstrate compliance. Gaps or inconsistencies can derail approvals.
- Cleanroom and Controlled Environment Protocols: Stringent standards like ISO and Annex demand careful planning and execution for sterile manufacturing facilities.
- EH&S During Construction: Tailored safety and environmental systems are critical to avoiding compliance violations during construction.
- Smooth Turnover Management: Poorly coordinated handovers can delay start-up and create costly inefficiencies.
Successfully navigating these challenges requires more than technical expertise—it requires a project management approach centered on regulatory compliance.
Compliance-Focused Project Management
Managing capital projects in the life sciences industry requires more than technical expertise—it demands a proactive approach to regulatory compliance at every stage. Compliance isn’t just a box to check; it’s a success factor that impacts timelines, budgets, and the long-term viability of your facility. At Hygenix, we understand that aligning engineering, construction, and operational goals with strict regulatory standards is no small task.
Our compliance-focused project management services are designed to integrate regulatory requirements seamlessly into every phase of your capital project. From the initial design and planning stages to construction and turnover, we provide the expertise and structure needed to ensure your project is not only completed on time and on budget but also fully compliant with global standards like FDA, cGMP, EMA guidelines, ICH standards, and Annex regulations. By addressing compliance as a strategic priority, we help our clients mitigate risks, avoid costly delays, and set the foundation for operational success.
Document Masterplanning
Proper documentation is the backbone of regulatory compliance. Hygenix creates detailed document plans that align with FDA, EMA, and Annex requirements, ensuring nothing is overlooked.
Project-Specific Quality Management Systems (QMS)
Every project is unique, and so is its compliance strategy. We develop QMS solutions tailored to your facility’s requirements, integrating quality into every project milestone.
EH&S Systems for Construction
Maintaining safety and regulatory compliance during construction is critical. We design and implement EH&S systems specifically for life sciences projects, ensuring alignment with regulatory and operational needs.
Controlled Environment Protocol Development
From cleanroom readiness to environmental controls, we ensure your controlled environments meet compliance standards through clear, actionable protocols developed during construction.
Turnover Management
When it’s time to transition your facility from construction to operations, we handle the handover process to ensure a smooth, compliant start-up. Our turnover packages are complete, organized, and ready for validation and inspection.
Real-World Success: A Case Study
A global biotech company was constructing a new cleanroom facility for sterile injectable products but faced challenges with documentation, EH&S compliance, and an unstructured turnover process. The risk of delays and cost overruns loomed large.
Hygenix stepped in with a comprehensive solution:
- Developed a document master plan to ensure alignment with FDA, ISO, and Annex requirements.
- Designed a project-specific QMS and implemented EH&S systems tailored to the project while creating direct integration into the client’s existing operational QMS.
- Created cleanroom protocols and managed the turnover process for a seamless transition.
The result? The facility was completed on time, fully compliant, and operationally ready for qualification.
