SparkPlus, a shared-office company, is launching ‘Office B Making,’ an office interior service for small and mid-sized businesses.
‘Office B Making’ is a service that builds and manages offices tailored precisely to 20–50 people, and it is characterized by standardizing every element from the office layout to the design and materials. While focusing on the function and essence of an office, it proposes standard criteria that companies of 20–50 people truly need, grounded in high-sensibility design. Just as you don’t have to agonize over each individual part when buying a car, it lets you complete an office as easily as shopping, simply by choosing from predefined options. As a result, unlike conventional office interior projects that take several months and require numerous in-person meetings and rounds of consultation, unnecessary steps are eliminated and the time invested in building an office is dramatically reduced. In addition, because ‘Office B Making’ has set standard prices, clients can prepare for unpredictable out-of-budget spending and build an office for their intended purpose at a reasonable cost. Furthermore, clients can receive daily updates on construction progress, allowing them to know the entire on-site process transparently.
According to the company, because an office is a space where people spend long hours, it uses materials that are easy to maintain and highly durable, thereby also raising the level of functional completeness. Customers can additionally use office management services such as cleaning, network setup, and office furniture rental. On top of this, a remote control and monitoring system utilizing Internet of Things (IoT) technology makes it easy to control heating and cooling, natural light, lighting, and more.
A SparkPlus representative said, “Among the roughly 5,000 companies that have passed through SparkPlus’s offices over the past nine years, companies of 20–50 people made up the largest share, and we saw that they experience poorer office environments than large corporations due to information asymmetry and limitations in budget and management staff,” adding, “The newly launched service is distinctive in that it allows small and mid-sized buildings to offer the kind of service previously available only in prime buildings.” Lee Kang-sik, vice president of SparkPlus who oversees the Office B business, went on to say, “If we provide facilities and infrastructure on par with large buildings to small and mid-sized companies, it will help enhance a company’s image as well as attract good talent.” 02-555-3477
