Workplace Assessment
Our proprietary Masterscape planning service involves an initial study of the organization including corporate climate, functional and workflow descriptions, reporting relationships, forecasted technology/policy changes, potential for and likelihood of growth by workgroup, management goals and priorities, expected or planned organizational changes, and corporate identity/image objectives.
Master Planning
Master planning includes gathering and processing relevant information regarding: individual, group, and common workplace needs. It also includes growth projections, proximity requirements, location and budget criteria. Based on this information, typically, Bubble Diagrams, Block Plans and 1, 3 and 5 year space plans are developed. This aids the organization in planning for the acquisition or absorption of additional space as needed.
Facility/Location Assistance
Based on the Master Plan and other defined criteria, we work with our clients to identify potential lease or building sites/locations. This may involve working with or at times recommending real estate professionals, architects, builders or other parties to be sure the best possible alternatives are researched and evaluated.
Interior Design
Our proprietary masterscape design service involves a process utilizing a series of interviews and workplace surveys that will assist our clients in determining the best approach to acquiring and occupying space that supports their particular requirements. Once pertinent information is gathered our designers translate that information into a plan that addresses the functional, aesthetic and budgetary requirements of our clients.
Procurement Services
By administering or assisting our clients in the acquisition of products to fulfill the design criteria, OFC WORKSCAPES is able to leverage our purchasing power and employ our extensive product knowledge to provide the best possible value to our clients. Our many years of industry experience and intimate knowledge of product options help us negotiate effectively with vendors and manufacturers without sacrificing quality.
Project Management
Every project has its unique requirements and conditions, and we tailor our project management services to those particular needs of our clients. Establishing a critical path schedule is the first and most critical step in the process but variables that need to be planned for include product lead times, coordination of trades and subcontractors, permitting, move management, inspections, and installation. We endeavor to relieve our clients of as much of this activity as possible so that they are able to conduct business in their usual manner while transitioning to their new space.
Tenant Planning
At times our clients simply need to see how they can fit into a given space or evaluate the suitability of alternative locations. While tenant planning, we can work through a real estate professional or directly with our clients to provide an economical way to do so. While we feel it is always preferable to do in-depth planning and research, this is not always possible. Often we find our clients are “under the gun” to acquire space and time is of the essence. In such cases Tenant Planning can satisfy this requirement.
Design/Build Services
OFC WORKSCAPES is able to organize a team of professionals that can provide the full range of services for a design/build project. We have strategic partnerships with architects, engineers, designers, contractors and financial institutions and can help our clients streamline the building process. Design/Build is often the best method to deliver a truly cost-effective and responsive facility in a timely manner.
