A Laboratory Built for the Work It Actually Does

New laboratory design and installation, refurbishment of ageing facilities, and phased upgrades delivered around live operations. We build to the standard your sector is held to, equip it, and hand over complete.

Most Laboratories Were Designed for a Different Job

Laboratories accumulate. A method is added, an instrument arrives, a compliance requirement changes, and the room adapts around it until the workflow runs backwards, the extraction no longer covers where the work happens, and the bench space nobody planned for is where the most sensitive analysis is done.

A laboratory refurbishment is rarely a cosmetic project. It is a workflow, safety, and compliance project that happens to involve benching.

What We Deliver

  • New Laboratory Design and Installation — workflow layout, benching and casework, fume extraction and ventilation, services reticulation for water, gas, and power, safety systems, and equipment installation and commissioning
  • Refurbishment — redesign and rebuild of existing laboratories that have outgrown their layout, fallen behind a standard, or been repurposed beyond their original design
  • Phased Upgrades — staged work programmes for facilities that cannot be taken offline, sequenced around your testing calendar so analytical capability is maintained throughout
  • Compliance-Driven Fit-Out — design to the requirement that governs your facility, whether Good Manufacturing Practice, ISO/IEC 17025, or sector-specific hygiene and safety standards
  • Equip and Commission — supply, installation, commissioning, and first calibration of the equipment the laboratory runs on, so the facility is analytically operational at hand-over

How We Work

01

Assess

A site visit to understand current workflow, constraints, compliance obligations, and what the facility needs to do in five years rather than only today.

02

Design

Layout drawings, services design, equipment schedule, and a phasing plan if the facility must stay operational. Approved by you before procurement begins.

03

Build

Managed installation with a single point of accountability, coordinated around your operational calendar.

04

Equip and Hand Over

Equipment installation, commissioning, first calibration, as-built drawings, operator familiarisation, and a complete documentation pack.

Recently Delivered

BICS completed a full laboratory installation for Suntory Beverage and Food South Africa in March 2025, covering layout, benching and casework, services reticulation, and equipment commissioning. See our work →

Plan Your Laboratory Project

Whether you are building a new facility or working out what to do with the one you have, our team will conduct a site assessment and return a scoped proposal.
