Our process-focused and business-focused approach has been standard operating procedure at VILS since Day 1. We design cleanrooms, laboratories and production facilities to meet your specific, identified needs. Our designs also ensure that that your facility will be compliant, practical and operator-friendly.

Our design philosophy

Process Expertise, Not Facility-Driven

At VILS, we understand that pioneering efforts require pioneering solutions. We specialize in process-driven designs for development and production facilities, particularly in the fields of ATMP’s, biologicals, vaccines and novel foods. Unlike traditional, facility-driven approaches that often overlook the nuances of groundbreaking work, our focus is on enhancing and facilitating your innovative processes—ensuring that your groundbreaking ideas swiftly move from the lab to real-world application.

Business-Driven, Not Engineering-Driven

Your vision leads the way from the very start—from the initial idea through the business case, right up to a fully operational facility. At VILS, we don’t just engineer structures; we nurture ideas. We provide comprehensive support including business plan formulation, investor meetings, and bespoke full-scope design. Everything we do is tailored to fit your timeline and specific needs, emphasizing flexibility and responsiveness to your decision-making process.

From IDEA to ENGINEERING

Our unique approach starts with an IDEA, evolves into a detailed CONCEPT, forms a robust BUSINESS CASE, and culminates in precise ENGINEERING. This streamlined pathway ensures that every step is aligned with your strategic goals, facilitating a seamless transition at each phase.

Technical Expertise with a Human Touch

While the facility is the final piece of the puzzle—the icing on the cake—it's your innovative processes that are truly central. Our full-scope engineering office is equipped to handle every aspect of facility creation. From in-house project management and process architecture to clean utilities and more robust civil, structural, architectural, HVAC, and electrical engineering, our teams are dedicated to designing a facility that complements and enhances your pioneering work. Explore how VILS can transform your groundbreaking ideas into tangible solutions that make a real difference in people’s lives.

We build facilities with the critical path and your operational goals in focus from Day 1, and we take full responsibility for delivering on time and on budget. We prioritize early coordination and work backward from your final milestones. This lets us compress timelines without compromising quality.

Our Construction Philosophy

PRECISE DELIVERY, NO SURPRISES

We take full ownership of delivering business-critical outcomes on time, on budget. Our focus is on execution that protects your investment, supports your operational readiness, and respects the urgency of your goals. Our hand-in-glove interface between design and construction means we face no surprises when we are building—and no significant delays.

KEEPING THE END-RESULT IN MIND FROM DAY ONE

Constructability is not an afterthought—it’s built into our way of working. Our “just the essential" philosophy eliminates redundancy by skipping detailed design and moving directly to construction drawings whenever possible, saving time and resources. From the earliest design phases, we think through how your facility will be built, sequenced, and handed over. This proactive approach allows us to compress timelines without compromising quality or control.

CRITICAL PATH CONSTRUCTION AND PHASED DELIVERY

At VILS, we focus on the critical path and your operational goals. We prioritize early coordination and work backward from your final milestones. This lets us compress timelines without compromising quality. Our proven fast-track model typically delivers facilities 30–40% faster than most because we plan for execution from day one. If your operational goals require it, we are also able to deliver in phased handovers, enabling you to begin operations even before the facility has been completed,

FULL ACCOUNTABILITY VIA LEAN GOVERNANCE

We believe project control shouldn’t come at the cost of progress. Our governance is streamlined and transparent – focused on what must be verified at every step, not reporting for its own sake. You’ll see clear progress, critical path updates, and milestone visibility, with less administrative drag and more accountability on things that matter.
