We start by creating and populating a project specific equipment list and work with the design team to ensure that everyone is aligned from project initiation. During construction, we focus on ensuring orders are placed for just-in-time (JIT) delivery; managing storage and installation efforts; and coordinating calibration, qualification, and validation efforts through turnover.
By integrating with your project team, we provide guidance on equipment selection, architectural and utility requirements, and other decisions that can impact lab design. Our scientific background allows us to translate your needs into a useable list of equipment to streamline the design process and reduce costs of rework and redesign. Throughout the construction process, we review purchased equipment against the approved design documents to ensure installation will be seamless.
Less -Our team relies on our vast network of scientific subcontractor and vendor contacts to quickly budget, quote, and submit finalized equipment packages for purchase. Our thorough review of quotes and final purchase orders combined with our project knowledge allows us to align IT/software, consumables, installation documentation, and services with project needs. We manage the equipment budget, move budget, and IT automation budget, and utilize a total value design review process for change control. In the lead-up to occupancy, we work with vendors, client project management, and construction management to schedule installation and qualification to ensure all project timelines are met.
Less -Once equipment arrives onsite, our team project manages all aspects to bridge the gap between construction completion and science start-up. In order to maintain regulatory compliance, we provide a comprehensive document development package including user specifications, validation protocols, risk assessment, computer system validation, performance qualification, temperature mapping protocols and reports. Our validation experts operate as augmented staffing within your quality management and regulatory compliance systems to execute validation activities.
Less -Lab renovation projects often require highly coordinated phasing, requiring multiple equipment moves to and from temporary, completed, or future spaces. Our team helps lab managers and users determine the best strategy to ensure moves are executed with minimal downtime. We schedule disconnections, OEM vendor support, facilities, IT, movers, and coordinate the entirety of move activities. For regulated environments we support the development and execution of change control, decommissioning, recommissioning and revalidation deliverables.
Less -Capital projects involving the purchase of new equipment can often overwhelm internal or contract facilities management due to the sheer number of pieces and parts. While onboarding assets into site computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS) often begins at project turnover, having a dedicated asset manager throughout the project ensures all required data is gathered prior to turnover. We believe that a capital project is not complete until all assets have been entered into and confirmed in client asset management software.
