The Netherlands is witnessing an increase in the number of innovative start-ups and companies that focus on R&D, the engine that powers our knowledge-based economy. Since traditional buildings often fail to meet the specific wishes of these companies, EGM architects and property consultants CVO Group have created a new generation of property solutions: Next Gen Buildings. These are fully developed shell and infill modules that can be connected to each other and fitted out as offices, laboratories or workshops. This flexible, sustainable and functional solution comes with a guarantee of quality, result, delivery and costs, all in advance. That’s a win-win situation for both the user and building operator.
Innovative start-ups and R&D firms adapt rapidly, just like the market in which they operate. Moreover, such businesses often have specific accommodation requirements: a high-quality environment that offers optimal support for their operating processes and provides space (literally) for creativity, flexibility and the sharing of knowledge. These companies excel through cultural cross-pollination, search for new forms of collaboration and breeding grounds such as incubators, accelerators, campuses and science parks. We respond to this with our prefabricated and pre-engineered modules, which can be connected and fitted out as office space or workshop areas, and also transformed into laboratory environments.
To arrive at the ideal property solution, we analyse and survey the current and future wishes of our clients. On the basis of their input about operating processes and organisation, we select the appropriate shell and infill modules and configure the right solution. In other words: a custom-made product. The effects on quality, performance, functionality and costs (operations and accommodation) are transparent at each stage of the process, enabling us to arrive rapidly at the optimal R&D solution together with the building users and owners.
All our prefabricated and pre-engineered shell and infill modules are composed of separate structural and installation components whose properties, materials and techniques have been extensively tested in advance. In collaboration with our regular partners, we deliver high-standard property solutions with a guarantee of quality, price and delivery time. Since the ready-made modules only need to be assembled on site after delivery, costs are low, construction is fast and efficient, and risks are practically eliminated.
Our R&D property solutions stand out for three reasons:
. Keeping our promise
We provide clear guarantees in advance concerning the quality, result and functionality of the desired property solution.
. Charging a fixed price
We charge a fixed price from the moment the desired property solution has been chosen.
. Providing guarantees in advance
We give guarantees concerning the operating result and integral accommodation costs during the period agreed.
All our property solutions come with a BREEAM Very Good rating. Our Next Gen Buildings are the result of collaboration between EGM architects, CVO Group and other partners. A combination of expertise in the design and construction of offices, hospitals, laboratories and clean-tech production companies, and the right knowhow in the property sector. It is this integral approach that has resulted in high-quality, sustainable and flexible property solutions with the right and recognizable look & feel: clean, transparent and in harmony with the operating processes that take place inside.
