ADC Manufacturing Facility Fit-Out

The Brief

After more than seven years of delivering high-value critical environment projects together, a principal contractor appointed Stancold to the fit-out scope of their turnkey contract for a global pharma company’s UK ADC manufacturing facility in Scotland. The site’s antibody-drug conjugate operations meant GMP-classified space had to be delivered to a fixed handover date.

Our Approach

Engaged from the early design stages, our team attended the contractor’s weekly design meetings to advise on the envelope specification and issue detailed drawings directly within their Revit model – taking coordination weight off their design team and resolving interfaces before they became site problems.

Our scope covered the cleanroom envelope fit-out across two levels of a three-storey building, comprising multiple GMP Grade C and D cleanrooms and a large pharmaceutical cold store. Puracore and Kingspan Versatile systems were specified to suit the differing classification and cleaning regimes across the areas.

Delivery in Action

With 1,750m² of envelope in scope and a complex, multi-trade programme, Stancold appointed a full-time site manager for the duration, giving the contractor a permanent single point of contact for day-to-day coordination.

That presence allowed the team to anticipate issues, agree changes and act on them immediately rather than waiting on head office – protecting the wider programme and supporting an on-time building handover.
