Cannabis Architect in Utah

Cannabis architect Utah is the search a newly licensed cultivator, processor, or dispensary operator runs the moment their Utah Department of Agriculture and Food license comes through and construction planning has to start — and 3rd Act Architecture and Consulting is a licensed Utah architecture firm built specifically around cannabis facility design. Led by Sam Andras, AIA, NCARB, and Jeff Lair, 3rd Act has completed 500+ cannabis and vertically integrated cultivation projects since 2013, covering cultivation facility design, grow facility design, extraction and processing labs, and retail dispensary buildouts.

As cannabis architects who also manage cannabis construction through owner’s-representative and bridging-consultant delivery, 3rd Act can carry a project from the Basis of Design document through construction documents, contractor selection, and UDAF compliance walkthroughs — one firm, from license to occupancy, in Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, or anywhere the UDAF has approved a site.

Questions Utah operators ask first

Yes. 3rd Act is a licensed Utah architecture firm with 500+ cannabis and cultivation facility designs completed since 2013, covering cultivation facility design, grow facility design, processing/extraction, and dispensary projects.
Utah prohibits vertical integration — no single entity may hold more than one license type, so a Medical Cannabis Pharmacy, a Production Establishment (cultivator), and a Processor are always separate businesses with separate facilities. 3rd Act designs each type independently: pharmacy space built around Utah’s unique requirement for an on-site Pharmacy Medical Provider available to consult with cardholders, and cultivation or processing facilities built to UDAF’s separate compliance and security standards.
Yes, Sam Andras holds active architecture licensure in Utah in addition to other states where 3rd Act has completed projects.
Both. 3rd Act can serve as a bridging consultant or owner’s representative through cannabis construction, starting with a Basis of Design document and carrying the project through construction documents, contractor selection, and UDAF compliance walkthroughs.
