An office move is not
a construction job.
It is a business decision.

02 — Our approach

Not one manager's hunch. We plan space from data on your whole team.

We start by reading headcount and the way people work, then set the area and layout. That gives every square meter a reason, lowers the anxiety during construction, and keeps the same team with you after move-in. We have worked this way since 1991.

  1. 01

    Focus — meeting rooms

    Meeting rooms are open and too few for focused meetings. Floors 2 to 4 have none.

    Guide: Department meeting rooms on 2F–6F, a shared large room on 1F

  2. 02

    Order — storage

    Storage sits on B2F, so boxes pile up in the work areas on every floor.

    Guide: Department storage and cabinets on each floor; B2F becomes department storage

  3. 03

    Rest — support spaces

    The only break area is on 6F. It is out of the way and crosses visitor traffic.

    Guide: A pantry and phone booths on each floor, a work lounge on 1F

03 — Schools and public-sector projects

The school stays open.
The work does not stop.

For schools and public buildings we look at function, safety, schedule and administrative requirements together. We have built in schools during classes and in agencies during working hours.

04 — What we do

One team does all four, in sequence. Nobody has to translate between a design firm and a contractor.

05 — Before you sign

Three things to settle
before you sign a lease.

  1. 01

    Area before the lease

    Listings often show the contract area, which includes common areas. We first check the area you need against your headcount, seating style and the listing's efficiency ratio.

  2. 02

    Move-in schedule and scope

    We plan design and construction backwards from your move-in date, and split what can be done while you keep using your current office from what waits until after the move.

  3. 03

    What the budget includes

    We separate construction items from those budgeted separately, such as furniture, IT and moving, so quotes can be compared on the same basis.
