Welcome to Co Lab Designs

---

Co Lab Designs started with a simple frustration: too many great builders and fitters were losing time and margin juggling complex cuts, edging, and awkward supplier lead times instead of focusing on fitting and finishing. Co Lab Designs was created to be the missing link – a trade-focused CNC and fabrication partner that quietly takes care of the technical side so your jobs keep moving.

Built around real projects like media walls, kitchens, bathrooms, and workspace renovations, Co Lab Designs prioritises competitive pricing, fast turnaround, and cut-to-size, ready-to-fit panels so there are fewer surprises on site and more time doing the work that gets you paid. Every enquiry is treated as a collaboration: share your sketches, measurements or ideas, and Co Lab Designs helps turn them into precise, install-ready components.

From day one, the goal has been to stay approachable, responsive, and easy to work with, with clear communication, straightforward quotes, and modern digital tools that make repeat work simple. Co Lab Designs exists to support builders, designers, fitters, and merchants who want reliable CNC cutting and edging without the overhead of running their own machinery – a practical partner you can trust, job after job.

  What makes this service unique is the combination of trade-focused thinking, flexible collaborative support, and a workflow designed around speed and value. Co Lab Designs is built for builders and fitters who may not have in-house CNC or edging capabilities, offering a responsive, approachable partner rather than a faceless factory, with clear quotes, efficient lead times, and modern digital tools that make repeat work simple as your projects and ambitions grow.  

 Co Lab Designs provides precision CNC cutting and edging for sheet materials, delivering panels that are cut to size, laser-accurate, and ready to fit for media walls, kitchens, bathrooms, fitted furniture, and workspace projects. Typical jobs include carcasses, doors, shelves, fillers, bespoke shapes, and full media wall packages, all produced from your measurements or drawings so what arrives on site matches your plan. You can send a rough sketch or detailed design and receive the cut components you need to assemble quickly on site, saving hours of marking out and hand cutting while giving you clean, repeatable results across multiple projects. As a trade-focused partner for builders, designers, fitters, and merchants, Co Lab Designs offers competitive pricing, fast turnaround, and simple ordering for both one-off batches and regular runs, making it easy to keep your schedule on track and your installations consistent.  

 Lead times are set up around what you need on site, not what suits a factory schedule. Customer satisfaction is at the heart of everything Co Lab Designs does, so If you are local to Herts, Beds or Bucks, you can usually count on a   3 - 5 working day turnaround from the moment you approve your quotes to the point your order is ready to collect, with faster options where possible on simpler or repeat jobs to help you keep promises to your own clients. If you are a little further afield, lead times are typically 5 - 7 working days to factor in production and delivery, and you will get clear updates at each stage so you can plan your installs with confidence, knowing Co Lab Designs is committed to getting your components to you when you need them.
