As a starting point, the promotor requires us to design a poultry farm to develop a new business strategy: Free-range hens. This kind of poultry farming breaks with the established pattern of farming methods, which are based on join big quantities of animals in cages without any concerns about animal welfare in order to maximize the production. The regulatory framework related to free-range hens is extremely demanding and requires compliance with three principles. The first is to reduce the animal density. The second is to raise the hens in the soil, eliminating the use of cages. Finally, the third and most ambitious principle is to place doors in poultry farm, and so the hens it can go out at any time of the day to the exterior park. With all that, there is obtained a better quality of life, comfort and well-being of the animal, producing to him eggs of better nutritional quality. All these aspects, are in line with the major social worry for consuming products obtained without abusing the animals., eradicating the ranching of the past. According to the previous reasons, in this project, it has been designed a poultry farm of 540 m 2 of land, where the zone will be corral, animal rebaby and store, and a few exterior parks of 8.000 m2 of land. The final budget of the work will be of a quantity of 257.819,51 €.
