Interoffice Design Service (IDS) Flow of Use

Hello. This is Interoffice Design Services.

In this column, we would like to introduce our overall service flow and how we proceed with office development. When considering an office relocation or renewal, many customers say, “I don’t know where to start” or “I am not sure where to consult. Our goal is to eliminate such concerns and realize a smooth and highly satisfying office creation process.

We hope that this article will give you an idea of how to proceed when you consult with Interoffice.

It all starts with a hearing

All projects start with a “dialogue” with the client.

The background behind the relocation or renewal, your corporate vision, your current concerns, the way you want to work, your brand image….
We do not simply ask, “How much space do you have? How many seats do you have? We do not simply ask “how much space do you have” or “how many seats do you have?

For example, we often receive comments such as
Communication between employees has decreased”
“I want to have a free address system, but I am concerned about its operation”
“I want an office with branding in mind”
“I want to keep costs down, but I also value design”
“I am worried about the tight relocation schedule”
We listen carefully to each of these thoughts and ideas, Our work begins by carefully listening to each of these thoughts and ideas and working together to determine the direction of the project. We then work together with you to determine the direction of the project, and summarize these ideas in the form of design requirements, leading to office design.

The Role of Project Management

Relocating or renovating an office is a project that involves more processes than one might imagine.
Design, various construction, furniture, ICT, moving, and then to the start of operations: ….　It is not easy to coordinate and ensure that these are realized within a limited time frame.

Interoffice has a project management system that balances construction schedule, cost, and quality while maintaining a bird’s eye view of the entire project.
Specialist staff work together to centralize information and ensure that problems and delays are prevented. The project manager leads the progress of the office construction site as a “supportive presence for the client” so that the client can concentrate on his or her daily work with peace of mind.

Design and design the core of the service

We want to “enrich the place where we work”. This is our fundamental desire in designing spaces.
We want to create a space where the layout, use of color, lighting, materials, and furniture – each element is connected as a single “experience.

The premise of our design process is based on thorough interviews. The culture of the company, the current work style, and ideal communication. Reflecting all of these factors, we create zoning and flow line plans to create a place that supports diverse activities such as refreshment, concentration, and creativity.

Interoffice’s design approach is to combine beauty and ease of use while expressing the company’s identity.

Interior construction where the space is materialized

No matter how attractive the design is, it is meaningless if the actual construction does not go well. We take a strong sense of responsibility for interior construction, the final “realization” phase of space creation.

We correctly read the design intent and faithfully reproduce it down to the smallest detail. This depends not only on mere construction techniques, but also on close collaboration with the designer and the overall strength of the site. In many cases, especially in offices, it is necessary to proceed with construction without stopping daytime operations, so process management and safety considerations are also important.

We overcome such constraints while striving for both quality and speed, carefully finishing spaces down to the last brushstroke.

Furniture that becomes a tool for workers and creates the quality of the working place

Office furniture is more than just “equipment. It is an element that creates the “quality of the place,” influencing the attitude and mood of workers and even the relationships among team members. Interoffice handles a wide variety of domestic and international design furniture, and has accumulated the knowledge and experience to select the perfect chair for your space.

We support the design and production of custom-made furniture and the customization of ready-made items to create spaces with originality. We do not deliver furniture alone, but coordinate with the design concept of the entire space to achieve a high level of fusion of design and function.

We hope you will experience the “comfort” and “ease of working” that our well-chosen furniture brings.

Once the new office is up and running

An office is not finished when it is completed; its value is tested only when it is used continuously. At Interoffice, we value the “after” of a space as well. Issues that come to light after working in the space, the need for layout changes, furniture adjustments and additions… we take into account all of these factors when designing an office space.
We respond flexibly to such changes and continue to support them to keep them comfortable at all times.

We also have a system in place to visualize usage and satisfaction levels through periodic hearings and simple surveys, and link this to the next stage of improvement. We believe that a space is not finished when it is created, but rather is something that is nurtured and developed. We work together to nurture spaces that will be loved for a long time.
This is our approach to after-sales service.

Subscription fittingbox option

It is difficult to buy good furniture on a limited budget.
“I want to try out new ways of working and the usability of furniture before buying more.
“I want to change the furniture and layout to suit future changes, but it is a waste to buy and throw away every time.
For clients who have such opinions We also offer a service called fittingbox for clients who have such comments.

The “fittingbox” is a corporate service that allows customers to use high-quality office furniture from Japan and overseas on a subscription basis (monthly payment).
The service flexibly responds to a variety of working styles, including the FIX Plan, which features tailor-made proposals tailored to your needs along with proposals by professional staff, and the BOX Plan, which allows you to easily try it out for one month or more. This service is also available for small-scale projects, partial renovations, and test offices before relocating.

We will introduce the details in another installment, but if you are interested, please take a look at this page as well.
