A production building is defined by what hangs from the frame and what crosses the floor: crane capacity, mezzanine loads and process layout decide the structure before the floor area does.
01 / The parameters
A factory is not a warehouse with machines in it. Two things change the frame: what hangs from it, and what crosses the floor. A crane runway puts a moving load on the column line and a fatigue condition into the connection detail; a mezzanine puts a floor load into a frame that was otherwise carrying only roof. Both have to be in the drawing before the first member is cut.

Before the frame is detailed. Crane capacity, crane span and hook height each move a different part of the structure: capacity and span change the runway beam and the bracket, hook height changes the column and the eave, and the combination changes what is delivered into the foundation. Choosing the crane after the drawings are issued normally means re-detailing the column line.
Sometimes, but it is a frame question, not a fit-out question. A mezzanine adds floor load into columns and foundations that were sized for roof only, and it usually needs its own beams rather than relying on the roof frame. It is far cheaper to plan the provision at drawing stage than to strengthen a fabricated frame on site.
Yes. Detailing is done in Tekla with clash detection, so the shop drawings, the part numbering and the container packing plan all come from the same model. The site crew receives a numbered kit and a 3D installation guide rather than a set of sections to interpret.
