EnglishHow Genie Scientific's Lab Project Process Works: Planning, Manufacturing, and Installation
Updated
Genie Scientific handles lab projects through three in-house stages — planning, manufacturing, and installation — and has run this model since 1979. The process fits both large builds (the company cites multi-million-dollar facilities) and small purchases such as a single fume hood, with service, shipping, and installation available nationwide. To start, you can call 1-800-545-8816 or upload a drawing; if you don't have one, Genie's team can design the lab for you.
Stage 1: Planning
Lab planning specialists develop a space plan aimed at maximum output and future growth. They work directly with architects, lab and facilities managers, and contractors, so the plan is coordinated with the people responsible for the building and its operation rather than developed in isolation.
What this means for you: bring your space constraints, growth expectations, and the other trades involved (architect, contractor, facilities lead) into the first conversation. The planning stage is where those inputs get translated into a layout.
Stage 2: Manufacturing
Genie manufactures custom and standard fume hoods and lab furniture. The company describes its manufacturing capability as built around custom solutions for unique lab requirements, supported by expertise, experience, software, and equipment. Because design, manufacturing, and installation sit under one roof, custom specifications from planning carry into production without a handoff to an outside fabricator.
Stage 3: Installation
Installation covers receiving, staging, and installing the furniture — steps the company calls critical to every project. Its installer team has been building labs for more than 40 years. For projects outside the local area, the same team serves, ships, and installs nationwide.
How the Stages Connect
| Stage | Who is involved | Output |
|---|---|---|
| Planning | Genie lab planning specialists; architects, lab/facilities managers, contractors | Space plan for current output and future growth |
| Manufacturing | Genie production team | Custom or standard fume hoods and lab furniture |
| Installation | Genie's experienced installers | Furniture received, staged, and installed on site |
The single-roof structure is the main practical difference: one company is accountable from the space plan through the installed furniture, which reduces coordination between separate design, fabrication, and installation vendors.
How to Start a Project
- Call 1-800-545-8816 — the company states it answers the phone — or upload a drawing through the website to get started.
- No drawing? Genie can design the new lab as part of the engagement.
- Prepare for the planning conversation with your space plan needs, expected growth, and the architects, facilities managers, or contractors you're working with.
Before committing, it's worth reviewing the company's FAQs and online catalogs (both linked from its site) and confirming scope, timeline, and pricing directly with the team, since the site does not publish pricing.
Quick Fit Check
This process is a good match if you want one vendor to own design, fabrication, and installation — especially for a custom lab or a multi-phase facility build. If you only need a standard fume hood with no installation services, the company explicitly supports single-unit purchases, but you should confirm with them which stages apply to a purchase that size.
