You would simply like to evaluate your real estate situation and present a well-crafted report from an external viewpoint to your management or advisors; You are questioning whether your current offices truly suit your needs;You feel that your current offices no longer correspond to your needs and you are thinking of changing, perhaps using your infrastructure differently.

First of all we define the specific details of our assignment with you: Objectives to be reached (analysis of your situation, your needs, a current opportunity etc.) These objectives can include organisational, functional, technical, financial, economic and legal aspects. Items you have upon which we may be able to base our assignment These details allow us to estimate the time necessary for our intervention and to present an action plan accompanied by an offer of services. The items made available to us or the ones we gather together are used to carry out an in depth analysis and conduct interviews with key people in your company. Lastly, we draw up a summary report accompanied by a visual presentation and its conclusions. If we are asked to present just two other types of service packages these automatically involve two days of auditing to enable us to confirm the object of your desires so as to ensure that we are able to meet your expectations.

You have seen a building or offices that you think you could acquire or rent for your offices but you would like to ensure that you don't make any errors in that choice.

As you don't wish to simply take off on adventure and you want to avoid any nasty surprises, we can prepare a feasibility study for your project. The study is made up of every aspect of your project including the initial and operational budgets. The positive and negative points are highlighted. In this way we can ascertain the organisational, budgetary, architectural, and layout aspects of the project which are necessary for taking decisions. Together we will define the specific details you wish looked into and the degree of precision required.

Your needs can often vary depending on your activities. It is necessary to seek advice in order to more effectively anticipate and follow your development without needing to employ someone solely for that reason. You possess several elements relating to your real estate management. You may have a service that manages its administrative aspects, but you lack the strategic side.

We can assist you on a one-off basis or in the light of an annual contract for : Assessing your real estate assets and their development Assessing the investments / disinvestments that you are thinking of making Providing support whenever a question arises concerning your real estate assets Subcontracting your real estate management

You have decided to relocate. Your needs are known and you are looking for the most suitable opportunity.
In the context of diversification, you would like to develop or take part in a real estate type project.

Because asking real estate agents to search for properties will most likely encourage them to favour projects covered by their terms of reference... Paid by owners, agents are constantly faced with a conflict of interests when it comes to offering the best choice and, even worse, when negotiating for the chosen property. As our terms of reference are never dictated by property owners and we receive no commission for acquisitions, we can afford to be totally objective. We have access to a wider choice because we will scour the entire market in order to find projects best suited to your needs, including all agents' portfolios. Our first step is to establish and confirm a package made up of the needs you wish to have satisfied (location, surface area, parking spaces, type of property, local amenities, image, access, necessary facilities in the building, available budget, etc.) Our next objective will be to offer you several options. In the context of the selected opportunities we will accompany you on visits as well as in meetings with owners or their representatives. Because acquiring a building is not as simple as buying a pair of shoes, for each building, we will establish a check-list of measures to be taken in order to look into all aspects. Once again, our independence from the market guarantees you objectivity and assertiveness in our analysis because it is you that we are assisting and defending. Lastly, we will be by your side to negotiate your acquisition or rental and to assist the specialists you may have chosen to accompany you (tax specialists, lawyers, bankers, etc.) Our transparent work methods are a guarantee of our objectivity.

You would like to change offices or relocate but your financial means are very or too limited, or at least that's what you think

Funding for a real estate project can come from various sources. Certain methods can sometimes be more cost-effective than the original budget. We will prepare funding requests to allow you to control the final decision, based on the available budget which we will have helped you to establish and the commitments that you wish to undertake. They will be submitted to the market. We will analyse the answers received, compare the best results and optimise them so that you can take the final decision in line with your objectives. We will then assist you in getting started based on the decisions you have taken. We can help you to structure, organise and implement a lease-back solution.

Your new offices await. Organising the move, which represents much more than simply moving boxes of paper or furniture, is of crucial importance. The size of your company and your resources means you don't have the internal skills available or the time necessary to help you in these areas which are far more complex than they may seem. You are focused on your work and can't afford to spend time on real estate issues within your company. You are at that critical stage where your management functions well internally but doesn't have the tools which would allow you to manage the various aspects of modern and efficient property management.

Managing property assets entails costs which are both varied and significant. Analysis of global costs combined with our experience in the market should allow you to control, and ideally reduce, those costs. Cost analysis (technical service charges, repairs, consumption charges, cleaning etc.) could help identify useful economic factors. In the light of your current contracts, class 6 items from your profit and loss account and your existing infrastructure, we will carry out an analysis and make proposals for improvements. If need be we will assist you in implementing the proposals you have chosen.

Your new offices await. Organising the move, which represents much more than simply moving boxes of paper or furniture, is of crucial importance

Everything is ready for you in your new premises. It is not simply a question of moving boxes and furniture from one place to another. It involves coordinating tasks meaning that you will be totally operational once the move is completed without wasting any time and without the risk of last minute mess ups. It involves: Generally : First of all making an inventory of everything to be moved and which things will have a different destination in the new offices Mapping out destinations for everything and labelling things accordingly and in the light of a suitable methodology Choosing the best moment or phasing so as to minimise employee inactivity Requesting tenders from professional removal companies, meeting them, comparing offers, negotiating and proposing a working contract with the chosen company Drawing up a check-list of everything that needs doing so that everyone knows what to do and when Communicating efficiently with employees and third parties (suppliers and clients) in order to get the most out of your move. With regard to the new premises: Ensuring that all your channels of communication (telephone, data, IT, post) switch over at the right moment with no interruption That all services and cleaning services are operational That safety and security during and after the move are operational. With regard to the premises you are leaving : Cleaning the empty premises Coordinating the check-in and check-out inventories with the owner or owners Cancelling all service contracts linked to your previous occupation.

You have acquired a building, a site or offices which must now be fitted out to suit your needs. You would like to change the configuration of your offices or fit out new offices you have acquired or rented. Whether as an investment or as an organisational tool, the acquisition, transformation and/or construction of a building require extremely varied skills.

Our multidisciplinary approach and the sum of the various service packages we offer enable us to manage the whole project while you keep control of everything from start to finish. Our action plan can be broken down into three parts: 1. Analysis : To start with, we need to establish a comprehensive list of your needs with regard to your organisation, its composition and your work methods. Those needs will be validated or determined by an audit (see previously mentioned audit package). Then, we analyse the configuration of the premises you wish to fit out. Lastly, depending on your needs, we determine with you: A layout configuration Evaluation of the current and specific techniques which will be necessary The budget available for the complete fitting out. 2. Design and programming The results of the analysis phase will allow us to outline a preliminary layout project including a list of all the work to be carried out for each set of premises. The preliminary project includes a complete technical and architectural study. The preliminary project will be discussed, reviewed and corrected until it can be considered as definitive. A time schedule will be set for carrying out all the work. A precise list of specifications will be drawn up for work to be done including a discussion to determine the most suitable contractor. 3. Request for tenders, implementation and follow up Requests for tenders will be sent out and a comparative analysis made in order to offer you the best choices. We will assist you in negotiating contract terms with the chosen contractor(s). We will then coordinate all the work we are overseeing. We will lead site meetings and draw up progress reports to be submitted to you. We ensure the financial follow-up of the work and all invoices submitted by the contractor(s) will have to have received our prior approval. Our service in this context will come to an end subsequent to the provisional acceptance of the work and after any remedial action has been taken.

You would like to buy or change your office furniture, your IT tools or redeploy a new data network. We can assist you by preparing your list of specifications, setting up requests for tenders, analysing the proposals received, helping you choose, negotiating the best purchasing and trade in conditions and installing your new material without disturbing your employees' work.

Having a building is one thing, but for it to be an effective tool, the equipment has to be suitable in order to obtain the best performance from your employees and therefore boost productivity. Our know-how extends to three types of furnishings: 1. Office furniture Furniture is a domain that has evolved considerably to make it more ergonomic or efficient. Work methods and tools have changed as well as the space available and, as a result, different models have been developed which are not necessarily adaptable to all situations. We will look at three aspects, your work method, the tools used and your office's configuration, before studying the best possible ergonomic features as well as the best funding solutions. 2. IT tools An IT network is not something that can be set up without careful consideration. Attention must be paid to security, its upgradeability and the way you would like employees to use your infrastructure. Hardware must also be capable of being updated. Their cost is quite substantial and different formulas exist to ensure their funding. Progress with telecommunications tools means that a large part of their maintenance can now be carried out remotely so as to cut costs and offer real-time support where necessary. Our experience has allowed us to put powerful tools in place at a cost which is actually less than the cost of using almost obsolete material.
