If you\u2019re feeling some whiplash with your professional work style and setting, you\u2019re likely not alone. We went from working a traditional five-day workweek in-person in the office, to working a hybrid schedule, to going fully remotely during the pandemic, to today when many companies are requiring that employees return to the office either full-time or for part of the week. It\u2019s been a whirlwind few years.<\/p>\n

With this return to the office, companies are looking for fast solutions to upgrade their existing office or outfit new commercial space. They recognize that employees who have grown accustomed to working from the comfort of home need an incentive to come back into the office, which can include updated work spaces.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, with the tight labor market, top talent is in high demand. Companies need to put their best foot forward to entice these prospective employees to join their ranks. These human-centric factors, among others, are contributing to the rise of one of today\u2019s hottest office trends: digital component construction. And one of the industry leaders in this popular trend by storm is Falkbuilt.<\/p>\n

Digital component construction from Falkbuilt blends the speed of off-site component fabrication with the precision of digital design. Customize walls, doors, offices\u2014whatever your creative vision is for your commercial space.<\/p>\n

But these aren\u2019t the low-quality, prefab materials you might be imagining. This is high-design and construction that is built to last. Falkbuilt uses sustainable and recycled materials, reinforced with steel, so it is strong yet less expensive to produce and assemble than a traditional sheetrock commercial interior. Falkbuilt materials also prioritize safety, featuring a one-hour fire rating.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong>But another crucial differentiator between Falkbuilt and other digital component construction firms is their proprietary ECHO computer software. Before, commercial interior designers had to contend with the numerous different platforms used by designers, manufacturers, shippers, and installers.<\/p>\n

ECHO is the world\u2019s first \u201ctechnology agnostic\u201d computer platform that synthesizes all of these platforms into one centralized location. This enables Falkbuilt to design the perfect office space with precision measurements, and follow the project end-to-end \u2014 from design to manufacturing, from shipping to installation.<\/p>\n

When you remove these silos, you streamline the entire design and installation process, making Falkbuilt\u2019s digital component construction one of the fastest commercial design solutions available.<\/p>\n

The benefits of digital component construction<\/p>\n

The digital component construction trend offers businesses numerous advantages over more traditional office space design and construction options. When you choose digital component construction from Falkbuilt, you get:<\/p>\n

Speed. Thanks to Falkbuilt\u2019s ECHO technology, precision-measurement design, and streamlined manufacturing and shipping, you can have a new (or newly remodeled) office space in as few as five weeks. This enables you to quickly get remote workers back into the office in a new space\u2014or a reimagined one.<\/p>\n

Less hassle. Thanks to Falkbuilt\u2019s custom prefabrication, the majority of the build process is actually conducted off-site. Your construction components arrive in large sections, ready for installation so assembly produces no dust, and less waste, noise, and disruption. It also requires fewer tradespeople than traditional construction, adding to the streamlined speed of your project.<\/p>\n

Cost effectiveness. Digital components are often less expensive than on-site, stick-built office interiors. Plus, you own your Falkbuilt components. They are designed for disassembly, so wall systems can be easily reconfigured on site, moved to another location, or recycled at the end of their lifecycle.<\/p>\n

High design. You dream it, and Falkbuilt can design, manufacture, deliver, and assemble it! Whether you are designing a space for healthcare, commercial, retail, education, or industrial use, the possibilities for colors, materials, and layout are nearly endless.<\/p>\n

A smaller carbon footprint: Not only does Falkbuilt use recycled materials in their office design products, they take \u201cgoing green\u201d even further. Their digital component construction uses less material, reduces emissions in manufacturing, and virtually eliminates on-site waste.<\/p>\n

If you are ready to design an inspiring, environmentally friendly, cost-effective office space that will entice your employees to return to the office, drb Business Interiors is ready to help.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We are proud to be the Northern New York branch for Falkbuilt, offering commercial space design and redesign using Falkbuilt\u2019s digital component construction. With our end-to-end service, we will coordinate design and pre-construction, project management, order entry, building permit submittals, and installation\u2014often in as little as five weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
