Laboratory Programming and Planning
The first step in any successful laboratory project is understanding the client's needs. At Hera, this process begins with an in-depth analysis of the client's research goals, workflows, space requirements, equipment needs as well as regulatory requirements. Based on this information gathering process which involves interviews with key stakeholders such as researchers or lab managers or facility managers etc., we develop a detailed program document outlining all aspects required for designing an efficient lab space.
Architectural Design
Once we have developed a comprehensive program document based on our analysis from above step then our architects will begin designing your new lab space using state-of-the-art software tools like Revit or AutoCAD etc.. Our designs are tailored specifically towards your unique requirements while also taking into account factors such as energy efficiency & sustainability measures which can help reduce operating costs over time.
Engineering Design
Our engineers work closely with our architects during all phases of design development ensuring seamless integration between building systems (HVAC/MEP) & architectural elements like casework or fume hoods etc.. We use advanced simulation tools like Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modeling which helps us optimize airflow patterns within labs spaces thereby reducing cross-contamination risks between different areas within labs spaces..
Construction Documentation
Once we have completed all necessary designs then we create detailed construction documents which include drawings & specifications required by contractors during bidding phase so they can accurately price out labor/materials needed for completing your new lab space..
Equipment Coordination
We work closely with vendors/suppliers/manufacturers throughout entire process from initial selection through installation ensuring proper fit/functionality within designed spaces while also meeting budgetary constraints set forth by clients..
Commissioning & Validation Support
We provide commissioning/validation support services throughout entire lifecycle starting from pre-construction phase through post-occupancy phase ensuring proper functioning/operation/maintenance procedures are followed according industry standards/regulations..
Sustainability Consulting
We provide sustainability consulting services aimed at reducing environmental impact associated with building operations by incorporating green technologies into designs wherever possible thereby reducing carbon footprint associated with daily operations..
Safety Consulting
We provide safety consulting services aimed at minimizing risks associated with hazardous materials handling/storage/use within labs spaces thereby protecting both personnel working inside these areas as well surrounding environment outside these areas where waste products may be disposed off after use...
Regulatory Compliance Consulting
We provide regulatory compliance consulting services aimed at helping clients navigate complex regulations governing their respective industries thereby avoiding costly fines/penalties due non-compliance issues...
Project Management
Our Project Managers oversee entire lifecycle starting from pre-construction phase through post-occupancy phase ensuring timely completion projects according budgetary constraints set forth by clients while also maintaining high quality standards expected industry leaders...
Move-In Coordination
Finally once everything has been completed then we coordinate move-in activities making sure everything goes smoothly without any hiccups along way...
