81 Construction & Engineering Awards 2020 BUILD Best Education & Science Refurbishment Specialists 2020 - UK or over thirty years, Labform has been providing schools, colleges and universities services in the refurbishment of all educational spaces, in particular science and food technology labs. With their specialist knowledge, Labform is able to instil confidence in their clients that they have extensive knowledge and understanding of the specifications, requirements and timescales of projects such as these. Although specialising in the education sector, Labform recognises that each project requires a fully tailored solution that takes into consideration clients and their specifications. The inhouse team that can carry out every element of a refurbishment – from the design and installation, electrical works and lighting, to the flooring and decorating – means that clients do not have to source lots of different contractors for one project, saving both time and money. Moreover, each member of the Labform team has the necessary experience of working in often challenging educational environments. Many contractors claim to be experts, but they lack the insights into working in occupied buildings, often during term times, and as such do not know to take an approach that minimises disruption, like Labform does. To further simply the process for clients, Labform takes pride in its ‘one point of contact’ approach to the whole process, ensuring clarity throughout every stage from the initial meeting and survey, to the discussion around the quotation to project management to the final handover. Not only does this approach mean that clients receive a fuss-free and personable service, it also enables the Labform team to get to know their clients and their end-users, which is a truly vital element in designing a functional space. However, Labform seeks to create spaces that go far beyond functional, in particular for an existing client in the London area that Labform has done repeat business with for the last four years. Every year, this client requests an injection of ‘wow factor’ into their project and Labform thrives in the opportunity to demonstrate their creative flair. Now, Labform is able to offer Corian worktops, Underlit LED worktops, LED sky lights, switchable glass, printed blinds and built-in heat lamps, all designed to take a functional educational room into a space that inspires creativity and learning. Whilst the outbreak of Covid-19 has of course presented some issues for this company like many across the UK, particularly in the sourcing of materials, Labform is pulling through. Labform remains committed to achieving perfect delivery on every project, that ticks four crucial boxes: the project is completed on time and on budget, there is a snag-free handover which is complete with operating and maintenance manuals, and most importantly, the client is 100% satisfied with their new teaching environment. With these goals always in mind, Labform with continue growing and evolving, always seeking to offer the very best products and service to their clients.
