PLANUS is architect company that totally supports the construction of a research environment.

The world always demands new techniques to raise quality of the life and realize comfortable society more than now.
It may be said that research and development facilities of that purpose take an important role in the tip fields such as Pharma in particular, chemical, bio, nanotech, medical electronics.
We realize production engineering to send the most suitable research and development facilities and the result off for a researcher by three technique it is Planning, Design and Engineering in the market.
We believe that the small future in the test tube changes the world sometime, and it is our mission and joy.

PROCESS

We can meet it by one-stop service of the making of research institute from the beginning to the end.

From basic investigation of existing research facilities to design and construction supervision, as well as remodeling, relocation and energy saving surveys, and external communication design such as corporate identity, WEB site and brochure.
Our team who is familiar with the research environment and functions will design the research environment in a total, based on the common understanding of the facility issues with the client.

STEP 01

Basic Plan

Based on detailed research and dialogue with our clients, we propose the most appropriate research space to meet their various research needs.

Inspect current laboratory, make a list of facility equipment
Investigate regal requirements, regulations and environment
Set required utilities
Set requested specifications of each rooms
Verify with relevant rooms
Make an estimation of required space
Make a suggestion of similar facilities
Draw up a concept
Plan a project schedule
Make an estimation of the project budget

STEP 02

Basic Design

We propose a latest architecture and facility that corresponds to characteristics of the research facility and make a design plan that is functional and enhances creativity.

Zoning, flow planning
Site survey, ground survey, etc
Structural planning, electrical facility, mechanical equipment planning
Energy saving, security, disaster prevention plan
Make an estimation of the construction plan
Prior consultation with authorities
Make a basic drawings and specifications
Make a model and 3D perspective drawing, plan on interior
Make a laboratory criteria sheet
Make drawings and specifications of research equipment, furniture and utensils

STEP 03

Detailed Design

We offer a full range of services from hardware verification to construction methods to construct safe and comfortable research environments, including special air conditioning systems, laboratory monitoring systems, and VAV systems, in consideration of the energy burden.

Make a draft for the final design
Make a document of specifications and financial statements
Make a construction work bidding document
Carry out the procedures and applications with authorities
Apply a building certification
Request a quotation to the contractor and have a technical verification
Support a construction contract

STEP 04

Contract Administration

Engineers who have specialized skills will manage the complicated and advanced research facility’s construction. We will work on to optimize the process, cost and quality.

Site supervision
Evaluation of V.E., C.D.
Organize a regular meeting at the construction site
Coordinate, manage and report any changes made at the site
Attend inspections and hand over the property
Describe the instructions and facility operation
Arrange any additional constructions

STEP 05

Relocation Administration

Experts of each area’s apparatus will look after existing laboratory facilities including investigating equipment, dismantling, relocating, starting up, taking data and after services.

Formulate a relocation schedule
Arrange a quote with agents
Decide an agent and provide a support for the contract
Hold an explanatory meeting
Inspection before relocation
Validation after relocation

STEP 06

Maintenance Inspection

We will provide a support for making comfortable environment after relocating, from repairing and conducting a maintenance of the building, to repairing and giving a regular service of the facilities and equipment.

Check the punch list and confirm the completion
Conduct a defect check after 1 year and 2 years
Confirm a maintenance system and make a suggestion
Conduct an evaluation survey after moving in
Consultation on maintenance
Building diagnosis

PROJECT

We have a proven track record and experience that you can rely on.

PLANUS was established in 1990 as the only one architect office for the innovative research facility in Japan.
Since we accomplished research facility design duties regardless of a scale,it is more than 150.
We make use of our specialty and experience to have and want to grow up in future as the building drawing office where is specialized in the only research institute in Japan.

EXPERTISE

We support the making of research and development environment with our solid technology and abundant experience.

Bio-tech research laboratory design

We design integrated R&D facilities such as the biohazard safety research space required for the latest genetic engineering, as well as energy-saving and efficient equipment environments in experimental animal facilities.

Pharma / Chemistry R&D facility design

We design research and development facilities that make use of advanced energy-saving technologies, such as synthesis laboratories, pharmacology laboratories, and process laboratories.

Medical research laboratory design

We design the latest medical facilities from CPC (Cell Processing Center) required for cell therapy and regenerative medicine to clinical examination centers and bio-safety facilities.

Electronics New Materials Research and Production Facility design

We design R&D spaces for the latest electronics fields such as semiconductors and electronic devices, new materials R&D spaces for new concepts such as hybrid materials and composite materials (composite materials), and advanced facilities for processing technology fields.

GLOBAL

We will create a research environment designed from a global perspective.

Partnership with Kornbark Associates, Inc.
Tokyo office was established.

We have developed collaborations with some of the best minds, including overseas. One of those collaborations is with Kornberg Associates, one of the leading design firms in the United States. The spaces produced by Mr. Kornberg are changing the image of Japan's R&D environment with their high level of functionality and superior aesthetic harmony.
