A truly smart workplace is based on the needs of your organization and team. Maaike Vandenbroeck, Sales Manager at Buro Project, explains exactly how to approach this.
You can furnish your office professionally, but that does not necessarily mean it is cleverly organized. “From our experience, we know that a smart workplace meets five conditions,” says Maaike. “These are unique for every organization, which also makes the design of an office one of a kind. That is why we have developed our own approach, with which we create a customized smart workplace together with organizations.”
1. Start from your needs
“Every organization is different. Within a company, every employee has their own task, but these vary from day to day. For example, you may need to work with focus, or there may be a need for team meetings, informal conversations, online meetings, etc. All these tasks require a different workplace or environment.”
“A smart workplace therefore starts from your story, your needs, and your wishes. To get to know these, we at Buro Project analyze your smart workplace DNA: with which layout, spaces, and furnishings can your team deliver their very best work?”
“To do this, your dedicated Project Advisor examines five pillars: your way of working, the different work types, your team, your company vision, and your growth ambitions. For example, if you want to hire 10 extra people in the coming years, your new smart workplace must take that into account.”
“Based on your smart workplace DNA, our team of interior architects creates a unique and customized concept. This includes a personalized mood board of which colors, materials, and furniture optimize your workplace. And importantly: a cost estimate for the entire project.”
2. Demand a crystal-clear schedule and budget
Are you already completely enamored with your new workplace? Perfect! Nevertheless, it is crucial to discuss the practical side thoroughly. “That is why we always provide a complete execution file.”
“Think of detailed plans for lighting, electricity, flooring, and furniture. In addition, you will also receive detailed quotes from the contractors and suppliers and the budget for the entire interior design. Finally, we review a precise and feasible schedule with you.”
3. Follow up – or let us take care of it
Time to spring into action. The follow-up of such a project requires a lot of time and energy. This is a role that Buro Project can take on. “A dedicated Project Manager is present at all site meetings with the parties involved and provides you with a report. In this way, we constantly strive for customer satisfaction and efficiency for all subcontractors.”
4. Enjoy – and adjust where necessary
Our personal highlight of this project? Your look – and that of your colleagues – when you walk through your new smart workplace for the first time. In this stimulating environment, everything revolves around the well-being of your people and your clients.
“The delivery is always a new beginning for a company, but certainly not the end of the collaboration. Because within a year, your Project Advisor will visit you again. Together we discuss whether additions are necessary. In this way, your smart workplace grows with you.”
