Following this experience Adam became involved in the design of larger scale development projects incorporating BIM and DfMA techniques, initially working on the 2012 Athletes’ Village and East Village projects, followed by the design and implementation of a standardised “chassis” solution for a mixed-use residential development.
This makes it possible to start permitting, procurement, and construction activities in a matter of weeks, rather than months, and opens the door to warp-speed lab deployment.. Fast Lab combines our experience in multidisciplinary lab design, capacity modelling, asset optimisation, automated design tools, and the creation of fast, scalable solutions to the world’s biggest construction challenges.It is aimed at life science businesses and developers including:.
Larger businesses looking to design and construct their own labs..Smaller businesses trying to identify the best premises to buy or lease..Developers who want to construct labs that are a good fit for their target market..
Developers who want to attract a specific tenant..The need for fast and scalable lab solutions is clear.
In the US alone (about 1/3 of the global market), over 40 million square feet of lab and R&D space is currently under construction, with the global life sciences market forecast to grow on average 13% per year between now and 2030.. Fast Lab is now in development, and we are interested in working with innovative, forward-thinking life science businesses and developers to meet this growing demand…The life sciences are undergoing a rapid transformation fuelled by a convergence in maturing technologies, scientific breakthroughs, demographics, and geopolitical trends – much of which accelerated during the pandemic.
Globally, the sector is forecast to more than double by 2030, while in the UK investment has already increased 12x over the last decade.Reduced handoffs for reduced risk.
Embedding pertinent data in a digital library avoids continual calculations from first principles and sequential issuing.Instead, compliance is pre-baked into the design through rule sets and parameters that are agreed up front by multiple engineers.
From that point on, design compliance can then be either shown systematically against the agreed rule set or even autogenerated against it..The diagram below shows how detailed requirements can be documented and managed through the design process, and compliance validated in the manufacture and assembly phase:.
