More about COELHow we do it
From early stakeholder engagement, through to concept design and build, our dedicated project team will guide you through the entire process;
Planning a commercial design and build project means envisioning your ideal workspace, setting a realistic budget, identifying functional requirements and creating a detailed programme of works.
By analysing your current space, and consulting with your stakeholders to understand your brand, working practices and business objectives, our team will help to define a clear strategy which meets the needs of your business now and in the future.
We design inspiring workspaces that improve the working lives of the clients we work with. Sustainability, adaptability, functionality and budget will be key considerations, as well as delivering a unique design scheme that is recognisably yours.
Our highly experienced interior design team works in collaboration with our clients and our preconstruction team to deliver sketches, general arrangement plans, and 3D renders to bring your new workspace to life.
Whether you are planning to relocate or refurbish your office or laboratory, our in-house team works with our designers across estimating and surveying, project and site management, construction and mechanical and electrical services, to manage the entire fit out process.
Whilst working within the confines of your brief and budget, we will consult with your existing team to deliver Cat A or Cat B commercial fit outs to the highest standard.
COEL’s in-house furniture consultants can support you with sourcing, supplying and installing the latest commercial office and laboratory furniture.
Whether you are looking for bespoke office furniture designs, standard or adjustable office desks and chairs, acoustic booths, meeting pods or lab benching and storage, we can help you to choose the best new or recycled furniture to meet your needs.
After the project is handed over, our commercial maintenance team steps in to manage your services and the smooth running of your office or laboratory building, as well as ensuring that you comply with the necessary safety standards.
Our Cambridge-based team offers both reactive support and planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contracts to include mechanical and electrical services, installation, maintenance and repair.
