Kit-of-parts developed by Bryden Wood for rapid deployment of labs into existing office and commercial spaces.
Bryden Wood's kit-of-parts for lab design.We aim to do this during the earliest stages of a project, long before a brief has been finalised and ideally prior to an office being purchased or leased, all with the goal of identifying and then mitigating potential challenges as quickly as possible – giving the project and our clients the best chance of success.. 1.
