How much does flexibility cost?
BT2, an environmental engineering firm had strategic goals included eliminating competition for offices, controlling operating expenses, and presenting an unpretentious image.  But above all, this young firm needed the flexibility to respond to new opportunities.

Services

  We provided physical flexibility by helping create an untraditional layout with one size office and one size (i.e., interchangeable) workstation. We provided financial flexibility by striving for low cost: by using a simple building shape, the builder could use industrial-type construction.

Results

 

The building cost $49 per square foot, a capital savings of 20%--yielding 20% lower occupancy costs. Staff productivity is high.  A mezzanine will yield a density of under 200 square feet per person.  A case study of this project is available upon request.
