Office Buildings

In every industry, controlling long-and short-term costs is key to maintaining profitability – all capital expenditures require scrutiny.  Once effectively programmed, planned, and designed, the office area can provide quantifiable efficiencies and cost savings.

TranSystems has planned, justified and designed facilities, enabling clients to increase accuracy, decrease labor costs and improve their competitive standing. A little known or recognized fact is that the same opportunity exists for cost savings in the design of the administrative office or support operation needs.  We have assisted our clients to maximize their investment in capital costs by providing our support to their decisions to realize cost savings through developing a comprehensive all-inclusive program of requirements ensuring all goals, priorities, and expectations are documented and addressed. Our staff pays special attention to proper allocation of square footage to align adjacencies and reduce the quantity of real estate required while providing operational efficiencies.

When designing an office building, our staff identifies special needs such as “hoteling”, training rooms, or conference facilities; selects the appropriate lighting considering quality, aesthetics, maintenance and lighting controls (motion sensors, day lighting); and determines the most effective interior material such as flooring, walls, millwork, furniture based on durability, daily maintenance, and service or replacement availability.

The design of an office space requires a great level of attention. It is important to understand the value of an acoustic controlled environment since it increases employee comfort, efficiency, and retention. Our staff takes great care in the decisions we make for each office space and can help clients personalize their space with elements such as interior color application. Color affects people physiologically and making the proper decisions has made the difference in establishing a comfort level and ultimate satisfaction within the workplace. Just as important is effective furniture selection. We can select the appropriate furniture with consideration to the durability and maintenance, quality of construction and ergonomic design, expansion or relocation implication, and purchase versus financing options.
