FAQs

Getting Your Cannabis Site Ready Comes With a Fair Amount of Questions.

Here are some of the most common ones we hear.


Project Planning & Budget


  • I want to start a farm in the United States, can you help me with that?

    No, we work exclusively on projects in Canada, mostly within Western Canada.

  • How long is this going to take?

    This really depends on the size of your project. However, the earlier you can involve our team in your facility’s development, the better a solution we can provide. Find a general overview of a project’s timeline here, or get in touch with our team to find out more.

  • How much should I budget?

    Cost can vary considerably depending on the scope of your project. Book a call with our team to get more insight.

  • What can I do to reduce my costs?

    More complexity means more cost. More doors, rooms, or fencing means more to budget. That’s why our team works closely with yours: so we can game out your options putting your money where it’s needed most.

  • I’m planning on growing hemp. What kind of security do I require?

    Hemp cultivation doesn't have the same regulations as cannabis. However, processing hemp for CBD requires a processing licence.

  • I want to install security at my micro-cultivation/micro-processing site. What do you recommend?

     The security needed for micros is much less strict than other license classes. However, there are still a lot of variables to consider in order to find the appropriate setup:

    • What is your budget?
    • What are your long-term goals?
    • What are the commercial requirements?

    Book a call with us and we’ll work with you to find the best plan for your situation.



Meeting Health Canada Regulations


  • What is required to meet the Physical Security requirements of the Health Canada Regulations?

    The regulations require video surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, monitoring and record-keeping.


    Consider reviewing these online government resources to learn more:


  • How do I know that Health Canada will approve what you guys build for us?

    Our storage units have been approved by Health Canada for the storage of cannabis. For more information, feel free to get in touch with us. 


    As for our security systems, we’ve designed and installed them for many successful licence applicants across Canada. 

  • Do I need a vault?

    Nope. The vault requirement was struck by Health Canada in 2018.


Cannabis Licences


  • What can I do with a cultivation licence?

    As per Canadian law, a cultivation licence means you can grow, harvest, dry, freeze and store cannabis with limited exceptions.


    For more information about licencing laws in Canada, visit this page from the Government of Canada’s Cannabis Regulations.

  • What can I do with a processing licence?

    In addition to allowing you to possess and sell cannabis, a processing licence enables you to, “produce cannabis, other than obtain it by cultivating, propagating or harvesting it". This can mean making extracts, hash, pre-rolls, etc.


    For more information about licencing laws in Canada, visit this page from the Government of Canada’s Cannabis Regulations.

  • I want to start small and expand later once I’m licenced. What do you recommend?

    For outdoor grows we start with the fence line and add buildings as required. We can rent you storage modules later on if you need them (all the tech we use can be expanded).


    Depending on the facility there are different strategies and we can help you figure out the best path forward. Get in touch.
