Rethinking Office Design: When Space Planning Takes Seconds, Not Weeks
When first encountering SquarePlan, our clients tend to see it as an
exciting way to speed up and improve their daily work.
“Oh wow, I can have an office space plan in 1 minute, rather than in 1-2
weeks!”
“I can have a full VR/AR virtual tour of an office space in 30 seconds to
help a potential tenant understand the spaceplan and get them excited
about an office space!”
“No way, I can have a detailed fitout cost estimation from any space plan
in our building in seconds!”
Leasing teams – both agency and on landlord side – can WOW their
clients with speed and quality of communication.
Architects and Design & Build firms can automate the boring and double
check their work.
And that’s all great, and we love to see it. And we get fantastic
references on the back of it!
Where the real magic starts to happen is when people start to see the
World in a new way.
- “Wait, since doing space plans is free, I can generate testfits in 30
buildings I’m considering and can analyse a much broader
shortlist! And I can get the cost estimation on all of them! I can do
it in a day!” – a tenant rep or an occupier representative suddenly
realizes. - “I can run an experiment generating 5 different HVAC systems and
understand a cost of each option in under 15 minutes! Any system I
envision, I can immediately check the price of rolling it out in our
space!” - “I can create stacking & blocking for our corporate HQ, taking all
the needed department adjacencies into consideration, on 20
different buildings, to see which suits us best. And then I can
reshuffle and do it again in minutes!”
In other words:
Imagine what would you do if space planning was free and immediate.
How would you approach office search if testfits, visualisations and cost
estimations where within three key clicks?
How will leasing change?
How will design and build process change if you can experiment to find
the most cost effective and the greenest mix of systems, furniture and
finishings for your office?
As you can see SquarePlan is getting us quite excited...!
