Integrated Lab Construction Project Management

Lab Planning and Design

At the heart of every successful lab construction project is meticulous planning and design. Our team of experts works closely with clients to create functional spaces that meet their specific needs, whether it's for R&D labs, sterile areas, pathology and laboratory facilities, or spaces that adhere to various standards and classifications such as Grade A-D, ISO 4-8, and PC 1-4. We understand the importance of precision and attention to detail in lab design, ensuring that every aspect, from workflow to safety protocols, is carefully considered to optimise efficiency and productivity.

Project Plan and Design

We offer comprehensive project planning and design services, tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. Whether you require a complete "design and construct" package or assistance with the early stages of your project, our team is equipped to provide expert guidance. We work collaboratively with clients to develop a project plan that aligns with their vision, budget, and timeline, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to completion.

Project Consulting and Assessments

For clients seeking expert advice on the scope of a project or needing a review of an existing proposal or tender, our consulting services provide valuable insights. Our experienced consultants assess the project's feasibility, identify potential risks, and offer recommendations to ensure the project is delivered on time, within budget, and to the required quality standards.

Scope of Works and Trade Breakdowns

Clear scope of work documents is crucial for the efficient delivery of projects, particularly in hospital construction and healthcare building. Our consultants work closely with clients to develop detailed scope of work documents and trade breakdowns, ensuring that all stakeholders are aligned and that unnecessary cost overruns are avoided. This meticulous approach enables us to deliver projects that meet our clients' expectations while minimising delays and budget blowouts.

Coordination with Equipment Vendors

Effective coordination with equipment vendors is essential for the successful delivery of lab construction projects. Our team provides expert services for equipment layout, infrastructure requirements, workflow planning, and medical equipment tenders. We work closely with vendors to ensure that all equipment is properly integrated into the design, meeting the specific needs of our clients and ensuring seamless functionality.

Interior Design and Fitout

Creating a lab fitout that meets the latest standards and requirements while staying within budget is a challenge we excel at. Our team collaborates with design partners or clients' own design firms to deliver fitouts that not only meet but exceed expectations. From conceptualisation to completion, we ensure that every detail, from aesthetics to functionality, is carefully considered to create spaces that are both efficient and inspiring.

Permit Process Management

Navigating the permit process can be complex and time-consuming. Our team offers comprehensive services for application review and audits, building permit submission and management, and planning permit submission and management. We work closely with regulatory bodies to ensure that all permits are obtained in a timely manner, minimising delays and ensuring that projects are delivered on schedule.

Engineering

Our engineering services are designed to provide clients with comprehensive solutions for their lab construction projects. We offer structural and mechanical engineering plan, design, and management services, as well as engineering consulting services. Our team of experienced engineers works closely with clients to develop innovative solutions that meet their specific needs, ensuring that every project is delivered to the highest standards of quality and safety.

Financial Planning

We understand that financial planning is a critical aspect of any lab construction project. Our team provides expert assistance with equipment and project finance, break-even analysis, and cash flow analysis. We work closely with clients to develop financial plans that align with their budget and timeline, ensuring that their project is delivered on time and within budget. Our goal is to provide clients with the financial clarity and confidence they need to make informed decisions about their project.
