Most hygiene failures are not caused by careless staff — they are poured in concrete on day one. A wall in the wrong place, a drain running the wrong way, a door that lets dirty traffic cross clean product: these are design errors, and no cleaning schedule can fix them later. Retrofits cost multiples of what correct design would have cost, and inspectors see the problem the moment they walk in.
Why Hygienic Design Belongs on Paper First
The AGS Hygienic Design Figure Set (AGS-FIG-01) exists because words alone rarely change a floor plan. Twelve controlled figures translate the principles of hygienic food-facility design into drawings an architect, contractor and inspector can all read the same way — from the seven design objectives and site selection through zoning, envelope details and drainage to a complete model restaurant and kitchen layout.
What the Figure Set Contains
Each figure is registered, numbered and ready to drop into design reviews, training sessions and approval submissions. The set walks the full design sequence:
- Figure A — The Seven Design Objectives, and Figure B — Site Selection & Ground Strategy
- Figure C — Master Site Plan, and Figure D — Zoning & Process Flow
- Figure E — Building Layout Configurations: I, L and U shapes
- Figure F — Floor Build-up & Coved Junction; Figure G — Lighting & Airflow
- Figure H — Drainage, and Figure I — Pest Exclusion by Design
- Figures J–L — Personnel Entry Sequence, Equipment Clearances, and a Model Restaurant & Kitchen Layout
Each figure carries its own register entry, revision history and approval block, so the set can be issued as a controlled document inside a design office or a regulatory authority — and updated the same way.
Who Should Keep It on the Desk
Architects and engineers designing food establishments, consultants reviewing plans, project managers briefing contractors, and regulators who need a standard visual reference for plan approval. If you influence what gets built, this set speaks your language.
