Life sciences & pharmaceuticals
For over 40 years, Gleeds has helped to create innovative world-class working environments for the most forward-thinking professionals.
Our clients’ fierce scientific intelligence is matched by our deep expertise. We’ve won a reputation within the sector for consistently delivering high quality services and advice on technically complex buildings.
The significance of the life sciences industry has been brought into sharp focus in recent years.
This thriving sector is becoming a catalyst for town and city centre regeneration, as well as urban development.
At Gleeds, we create environments that play a vital role in solving global healthcare challenges, while enabling our clients to grow their intellectual and commercial property portfolios.
Building foundations for ground-breaking ideas
We deliver the flexible, highly functional buildings our clients need to support manufacturing growth, scientific breakthroughs and the teams that work on them.
Our specialist teams have developed and managed a wide variety of successful repurposing, refurbishment and new development projects. Their breadth of experience also equips them to lower the risk to developers and end users through offering technical advice on costing and managing their built environment assets.
We have a comprehensive understanding of our clients’ requirements – including logistics, warehousing infrastructure, technology and data storage, R&D facilities, laboratories, cleanrooms, controlled environments, administration and manufacturing facilities.
We relish the part we play in bringing their visions to life: facilitating the discovery and manufacturing of new solutions that improve the lives of millions of people around the world.
The big picture
Our strong grasp of the unique demands and challenges of the sector enables us to solve key issues and save clients time and money while balancing commercial risk and prioritising safety.
We have developed life science and pharmaceutical projects internationally, in environments where land is at a premium, and capital investment must move fast. This means we can help with identifying, defining and securing viable development opportunities.
Meanwhile, a deep understanding of where funding comes from and how research programmes work enables us to form strategic partnerships with clients to develop fit-for-purpose buildings that are optimally funded and robustly commercially managed.
Quality and versatility in a competitive market
Life sciences is an exceptionally dynamic and rapidly evolving industry. We furnish clients with sustainable, adaptable, future-proof spaces that allow for changes in research initiatives, regulations, products, production and staffing requirements.
The projects we work on help to provide clean and controlled environments that support the achievement of ESG targets and ensure best practice manufacturing processes.
To keep the project on track, we offer a diverse set of specialist services that cover:
- Project and programme management and schedule
- Project controls including risk and safety advice
- Budget/Cost management
- Procurement advice
- Contract administration
- Schedule and cost audits.
