Why choose a
Modular Laboratory?
As well as being up to 60% cheaper than a traditional brick-and-mortar build (and built to the same high-quality standard), modular laboratories offer a variety of benefits, including:
Speedy construction
Once you’ve signed off on our CAD designs, we will start building your modular lab components in our specialist factory.
We aim to dispatch them to your site in four to six weeks from sign-off. Your modular lab will then be ready for an internal fit-out two to three days later.
Flexibility in design and layout
The design process will be guided entirely by you. From layout and placements to finishes and fixtures, our team can help you make it happen.
Off-site construction to minimise on-site disruption
We build all of the components of your modular lab off-site while any essential groundwork takes place. This controlled build process can minimise on-site distractions, speed up the installation timeline, reduce waste, and increase your cost savings.
Permanent or temporary options
Our modular labs can either be used as a permanent structure or as a temporary building. We’ve overseen plenty of planning applications in our time, so you can also rest assured that our team will be there to guide you through every step if planning permission is required for your modular lab.
Scalable and relocatable
We know that services and operations change over time. Thankfully, modular labs can easily be adapted, removed, extended, or relocated to suit your needs. We can also add extra modular rooms or multiple storeys with no problem.
Environmentally efficient
All of our modular buildings are built using eco-friendly sub-assemblies. Our highly controlled off-site factory setting also means you can benefit from reduced waste and energy savings.
You’ll also see cost savings, as modular builds require less manual labour thanks to their quick installation time.
