Lab Design & Setup

Over the years, we have developed a unique capability in designing and building laboratory facilities.

​

Building a laboratory on time and within budget is a complex process. It requires balancing the needs of the R&D team while complying with the strict requirements of regulatory authorities such as fire departments, environmental and health agencies, municipalities, and additional regulatory bodies.​

​

Mistakes during the planning or construction stages can be costly, resulting in delays, budget overruns, and operational challenges.​ With over 20 years of laboratory operation and maintenance experience, we offer our expertise to organizations looking to establish their own laboratory.​​​

​

Our approach begins with understanding your specific research needs, including the type of work, required equipment, and applicable safety standards. From there, we plan the physical layout, workflow, and storage areas, before addressing the infrastructure that supports daily operations: electrical systems, ventilation, gas lines, and water supply. Only once these foundations are set do we move to execution, working closely with contractors and suppliers to make sure the plan is carried out correctly.

​

Ventilation and chemical fume hoods deserve special attention, since they are matched to the specific materials used in your lab and are one of the most common sources of costly rework when planned incorrectly. Getting this right the first time protects both your budget and your timeline, and leaves room for future growth as your lab expands.

​

With over 20 years of hands-on laboratory experience, we have seen which mistakes cost the most: infrastructure planned too late, ventilation that does not match the materials in use, and layouts that slow down daily work. Recognizing these risks in advance is what allows us to save our clients time and money.
