On time and On Budget
01Tailored Solutions
We provide services including office, clinic and laboratory fit-outs for the healthcare and life sciences sectors. From large-scale Cat B fit-outs to smaller, bespoke projects, we bring a wealth of specific industry experience to companies operating in areas such as biotech, medical clinics and pharmaceuticals. For example, Proctor & Gamble, SpaMedica and Laser Vision are all previous AXIS House clients.
Our team of expert designers, technicians and project managers takes time to understand the unique relationship between your people and the tasks they perform. We then translate this data into a workplace that will operate smoothly and efficiently. Our goal is to offer strategically informed, top-tier design solutions that drive positive business outcomes while better supporting your team.
02Space Optimisation, Customisation & Flexibility
To ensure efficiency and optimal performance, we start by assessing the activities your teams carry out in your current premises. This includes the deliverables required and your corporate objectives. We then move on to flexing the space plan and exploring your design options to fulfil your clinical and operational needs. We understand that embarking on a clinic or laboratory fit-out represents a significant investment.
Because of this, we make sure every inch of your workplace will deliver its full potential. Whether we’re designing cutting-edge labs or optimised research spaces, all decisions are made strategically with your key objectives in mind. We design intelligent spaces that allow for reconfiguration and adjustment as your organisation evolves.
03Cost Efficiency
In the context of increasing costs and margin constraints, we recognise the need to strike a balance between initial outlay and long-term operational benefits. At AXIS House, we emphasise a hands-on approach for every project, coupled with the adoption of high-quality, durable, and energy-efficient solutions.
Our expert approach ensures productivity gains, minimised downtime, and cost savings that directly contribute to improved margins and efficiencies. Budget management remains a critical consideration, and we provide cost certainty and transparency throughout the process.
04Productivity Improvements
Maintaining a competitive edge requires constant efficiency enhancements. AXIS House focuses on designing spaces that shift the dial on innovation, productivity and collaboration. By scrutinising your workflows and engaging with staff across all departments, we’ll quickly uncover what works well, alongside critical pain points and challenges.
We know that technological advances are crucial to your success. That’s why we can help you implement and integrate new systems to optimise your operation, as well as ensuring compliance with regulations concerning air quality, hygiene, and health and safety.
05Brand Identity
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, we recognise the importance of creating a cohesive brand identity – both for your people and your clients. If you look through our portfolio, you’ll see a number of design and fit-out projects for world-class brands which showcase seamless brand alignment. Our designers love flexing their creative muscles within the framework of your brand guidelines.
Beyond operational requirements and aesthetics, we’ll weave your brand language throughout the design. These visual elements make a powerful impression on staff, stakeholders and visitors alike. Similarly, high standards in the build quality of your research space or laboratory fit-out signal consistency, reliability and excellence. This helps to differentiate you from competitors, elevating your brand visibility, impact and reputation.
06Employee wellbeing, community & culture
43% of companies in the UK are looking to increase investment in health and wellbeing amenities. Not as a quick fix, but as a strategic move to enhance talent retention, create positive team cultures, and foster productivity. As a WELL-accredited supplier, our expertise ensures your new workplace not only meets but exceeds industry standards and best practices for health, wellness, inclusivity and sustainability.
Our WELL-accredited designers weave wellbeing considerations into all their schemes. This might include maximising natural light, introducing biophilic elements such as plants, and encouraging physical activity with the inclusion of sit-stand desks. This holistic approach makes us the natural partner for companies looking to create sustainable, human-centred workspaces.
07Future-proofing your Production Facility
Remaining adaptable in the face of hybrid working practices and a rapidly changing technological landscape is more important than ever. With significant experience of commercial lease environments, we understand your need to remain adaptable as you work towards goals for growth and expansion. We’ll help you integrate future-proof technology and design your space with strategic change and innovation in mind.
Planning for the future, however, must also be about sustainability. AXIS House operates to SKA Gold as standard, with a continuous improvement stance on limiting environmental impact across our own operations and our clients’ fit-out projects. Your ambition for a sustainable, energy-efficient workplace is our goal, too.
