Whatever the scale or complexity of your laboratory project – new build, relocation, warehouse conversion, or refurbishment of your existing facility, Innova delivers a comprehensive solution, combining outstanding service and excellent quality with exceptional value for money.
We are adaptable in our approach, working directly with you, alongside your chosen consultant and main contractor, or through an agency or architect to deliver a laboratory interior tailored to your specific need and budget.
For laboratory conversion projects, Innova can conduct a feasibility study to assess the economic viability and determine practical and cost-effective solutions. We will provide you with initial designs and cost estimates to establish a route forward.
Laboratory consultation phase
The lab consultation phase starts with your brief and an evaluation of your existing lab facilities. During this stage, you can choose between a furniture-only installation or a comprehensive turnkey solution, which includes design, manufacture, minor construction, M&E, gas and plumbing works, suspended ceilings, flooring, decoration, furniture install and more.
At Innova, our lab designers meticulously plan spaces by integrating the practical requirements with essential infrastructure. They will guide you through the entire design process from initial concepts and detailed plans to tender preparation and construction documentation. Our comprehensive service includes designing versatile and dynamic workspaces and write-up areas, tailored for various team sizes. We ensure adherence to health and safety standards, optimise workflow efficiencies, conduct risk assessments, plan evacuation routes, and incorporate essential lab equipment, among other critical considerations.
When selecting laboratory furniture, it is vital to evaluate how your team will utilise the space. Pre-assessing your daily workflows, equipment needs, and flexibility requirements ensures that the chosen furniture aligns with the specific demands of your laboratory environment.
Sustainability is also a key consideration and by working collaboratively with architects, building managers, scientists from the onset, we can create a laboratory that achieves both your energy efficiency and sustainability targets too
Innova’s project managers, leveraging their extensive knowledge and adaptable approach, will guide you through every step of the process from inception to final handover, ensuring you are informed at every stage. As part of our consultancy service, we will collaborate with you to align objectives, establish achievable timelines and develop a comprehensive program of works.
