Careful and comprehensive planning in advance of a cleanroom project is essential, regardless of whether the project is a conversion or a new build. Before the start of any cleanroom assembly, i.e. pharmaceutical interior construction, all structural measures must be as completely finished as possible. This means that the shell should be finished and the construction site completely clean. This is the only way to ensure that no particles from the surfaces of the building structure are carried over into the cleanroom to be built.
