Dedicated project manager
One team, from strip-out to handover
Refurbishing a working lab is harder than building a new one. Your teams still need to run their work, services can’t simply be switched off, and every week of disruption costs time.
InterFocus designs and delivers laboratory refurbishments, renovations and upgrades of every size, from a single teaching lab to a full research floor. Our furniture is made in our own factory near Cambridge, and our team handles the building works, M&E and finishes around it. One team, one point of contact, one programme.
WHY INTERFOCUS
Refurbishment without shutting down
Phased programme
Work can be split into zones so teams can move within the building rather than stop.
Live services mapped first
Gases, drainage, extraction and power are surveyed before strip-out, so there are no surprises mid-programme.
Work scheduled around you
Noisy or disruptive work is planned around your operations, including out of hours where needed.
Safe separation
Segregated work areas, dust control and clear routes between live and construction zones.
One person to call
Your project manager coordinates every trade and every phase.
