Echion Technologies partnered with Inuti to create a new multi-unit R&D and production environment spanning across Units 9–13.

As a fast-growing battery technology company, Echion required a space capable of supporting specialist power needs, technical workflows and future expansion, all while working within a constrained budget and a developing brief. Inuti delivered full design, engineering, construction and post-occupancy support, transforming the units into a compliant and highly flexible research and innovation facility.
Echion faced several early obstacles: defining a clear project brief, establishing the right power strategy for a diverse set of equipment, and progressing the programme at pace despite planning sensitivities and budget constraints. Power availability was a major concern, given the demands of specialist testing processes, and the planning pathway risked slowing the project at a critical growth moment.
The client needed a delivery partner able to bring clarity to the scope, maintain affordability, sequence the project intelligently and ensure the facility could evolve as the company scaled.

Construction delivery



To manage varied equipment loads, we developed a smart, scalable power strategy that considered both immediate operational requirements and anticipated growth. Intelligent phasing allowed construction to progress efficiently across multiple units, reducing downtime and helping the client maintain momentum during expansion. We also secured outline planning agreement early, enabling critical design activity to advance without delay and unlocking programme certainty at a key point for the business.
Each unit now supports specialised power distribution, flexible layouts, testing operations and safe workflows, allowing the company to scale confidently within the same footprint. The phased delivery approach ensured continuity for a rapidly growing team, while the early planning and briefing clarity provided long-term stability for future expansion.
