Guiding is not informing. A Kytom guide does not merely describe flex office, acoustics, or the tertiary decree: it sets out the thresholds, references, and trade-offs you will have to settle. Each topic is addressed from our 11 agencies with an operational logic, calibrated on an average area of 850 m² and an average lead time of 12 weeks between signing and delivery. We rely on reference sources: ADEME for energy, INRS and <a href="https://www.anact.fr/ressources" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ANACT</a> for working conditions, <a href="https://www.arseg.asso.fr/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">ARSEG</a> and <a href="https://www.actineo.fr/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Actineo</a> for tertiary uses, CBRE and <a href="https://www.jll.fr/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">JLL</a> for market indicators. Our stance is editorial and committed: we write what we would apply on your project.
Upstream project framing: m² per workstation ratio, trade-off between renovation and relocation, lease negotiation, dialogue with real estate management. 12 guides reference CBRE, JLL, and Cushman & Wakefield indicators to make your decisions more reliable.
flex office, hybrid remote work, sharing ratios, concentration and collaboration zones. We break down the Actineo and ARSEG usage feedback across 8 typologies, with the operational thresholds measured on our projects since 2018.
Acoustics, light, air quality, ergonomics. The comfort guides incorporate the requirements of the Labour Code (R4214), INRS recommendations, and the WELL and HQE standards to arbitrate between perceived comfort and actual investment cost.
Meeting rooms, phone booths, coffee areas, lounge zones, sports changing rooms. For each typology, we provide the sizing ratios, the required technical equipment, and the average costs drawn from our 1,200 project references.
Fit-out as a lever for recruitment and retention. The guides connect design, brand identity, and employee experience, with quantified HR indicators on attractiveness and engagement, validated by ANACT and Actineo studies.
Tertiary decree, BREEAM and HQE certifications, circular economy of furniture, project carbon footprint. 9 guides detail the Légifrance obligations, the reference methods, and the trade-offs between environmental ambition and a constrained budget.
Programming, project management assistance, technical packages, integrated scheduling, handover. We set out the Kytom method, aligned with ISO 9001 and Qualibat, which secures an average lead time of 12 weeks between project file approval and operational delivery of the spaces.
Open space, enclosed offices, hybrid spaces, technical floors, headquarters. Each typology is documented with its <a href="https://www.cerema.fr/fr" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Cerema</a> and CSTB regulatory constraints, its surface area ratios, and its observed fit-out costs per m².
Specific features of the Spanish market: Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia. Local regulatory framework, cost gaps per m² (15 to 25% below the French average), furniture purchasing practices, and logistics trade-offs for groups operating on both sides.
Topics that cut across all categories: signage, RGAA for digital accessibility of spaces, CNPP fire safety, change management, internal project communication. 7 short guides so nothing is overlooked in the upstream phase.
Operational management, IFMA ratios, comfort-cost trade-offs, and usage indicators. 14 targeted guides to equip the workplace director across the entire project cycle.

37 related guides Discover →Asset selection, lease negotiation, tertiary decree, property valuation. 12 guides referencing CBRE, JLL, and BNP Paribas Real Estate to frame real estate trade-offs.
25 related guides Discover →The topics emerge from three cross-referenced sources: the recurring questions raised by our 1,200 clients during the programming phases, the regulatory developments (tertiary decree, Labour Code, RGAA) tracked on Légifrance, and the sector studies published by ARSEG, Actineo, CBRE, and JLL. Each guide addresses a concrete trade-off encountered in the field, not an editorial trend. We publish only if we have captured at least 30 project feedbacks on the topic.
Guides with high regulatory stakes (tertiary decree, accessibility, fire safety) are revised every 6 months to incorporate Légifrance and CNPP developments. Method and typology guides are updated annually, with a full editorial audit in January. Market guides (cost ratios, CBRE and Cushman & Wakefield real estate indicators) are refreshed every quarter. The date of the latest revision is displayed at the top of each guide.
Yes, the long guides (over 1,500 words) are available as a printable PDF, formatted to circulate in management committees. The download is free and only requires a professional email address. The short guides remain viewable online only, with a direct print function. You can also ask your Kytom contact for a consolidated file bringing together 5 to 10 thematic guides on your specific project, delivered within 48 hours.
The guides are an entry point, not an end. Our 11 agencies in France and Spain support each project from programming to delivery, over an average lead time of 12 weeks. We work in project management assistance, design, execution, and furniture, with a single point of contact. A visit to your site, free and with no commitment, makes it possible to frame the stakes and orders of magnitude in 90 minutes. The guides then feed into the detailed programming phase.
