01
Your sales contact stays with the project
Your sales contact remains your main point of contact, helping to maintain a clear direction from the first conversations and throughout the project.
Sales and architecture
From the first idea to a commercial building that works
At KT Erhvervsbyg, every new commercial building starts with understanding your business.
Our sales team and architects work closely together from the first conversations, turning your needs, workflows and future plans into practical possibilities for the building.
- From the first conversation
- Needs and possibilities
- Sales + architects
- Close collaboration
- Building and site
- Planned as a whole
Our strengths
Turning needs into practical solutions early
Bringing sales, architects and other specialists into the process early makes it easier to clarify possibilities, implications and solutions before the project is fixed.
02
The architect is involved early
The architect can turn needs and ideas into functional layouts and architectural possibilities while there is still scope to shape the solution.
03
We start with your operations
Production, storage, goods flows, employees, traffic and future needs all help shape the building.
04
Planning for the future
Options for expansion, changing workflows and additional capacity can be included in the initial layout.
Close collaboration
Sales and architects work side by side from the first meeting
Our sales team maintains the ongoing conversation with you, but they do not work alone.
The architect is typically involved early, so requirements for production, storage, administration, logistics and future expansion can be assessed while the project’s key decisions are still open.
- Your needs We start with your company’s operations, workflows and plans.
- Direct input Requirements can be assessed quickly in terms of function, architecture and buildability.
- Realistic solutions Ideas are developed with the specialists who will later design and build them.
- Fewer handovers Sales, architecture, design and construction are connected within the same organisation.
From conversation to project
How the first sketches take shape
See how we move from your company’s needs to a project ready for further development.
Initial conversation
We discuss your business, the need for a new building and your broad requirements for the project, location and future.
Needs analysis
We assess factors including employees, production, storage, goods flows, administration, technical requirements and expected growth.
Space plan
The needs are brought together and translated into the functions, areas and connections the building must accommodate.
Layout planning
We consider the building’s position, functions, traffic, outdoor areas and key connections.
Concept design
The architect brings the solutions together in initial sketches, making the project’s architecture, function and overall design approach visible.
Further design development
The project is developed further with our other specialists, including those in structures, building services, sustainability and project management.
The bigger picture around the building
Architecture does not stop at the façade
A commercial building must work day to day – not just on a drawing. That is why we consider both the building and the surrounding spaces and movement routes.
Traffic and access
The location of access roads, goods reception, parking and routes for employees, visitors and heavy vehicles.
Outdoor areas
Planning for storage areas, manoeuvring space, parking, entrances and connections around the building.
Future expansion
Where relevant, the building and site are planned to allow the business to develop later.
Making the right choices early
Architecture, function and climate impact must work together
The building’s orientation, daylight, façade, structures and materials affect both how it is used and the project’s carbon footprint. We therefore consider these factors from the earliest sketches.
Daylight
Windows and orientation are assessed in relation to daylight, work areas and how the building will be used.
Solar exposure
Orientation and façade design can help manage heat and direct sunlight.
Materials
Material choices are assessed alongside the project’s other requirements and solutions.
Carbon footprint
Our architects work closely with our sustainability specialists when assessing the project’s solutions.
From idea to solution
We consider the entire commercial building project
A good commercial building is about more than the building itself. That is why our sales team and architects consider function, architecture and the company’s future needs together as part of the project.
Function
We start with your company’s workflows, employees, production, storage and logistics so the building supports day-to-day operations.
Architecture
Needs are translated into a building where function, appearance, daylight, materials and surroundings work together.
Future
We consider your company’s development plans and can plan the building and site to allow for later changes or expansion.
FAQs and advice
Frequently asked questions about sales and architecture in commercial construction
Find answers to common questions about the initial conversation, the architect’s role and planning a new commercial building.
When should we contact you about a new commercial building?
Ideally, early on. You do not need to have a site, drawings or a detailed specification ready. The first conversations can be used to explore your needs, the possibilities and the broad parameters of the project.
When does the architect become involved?
The architect is typically involved early alongside your sales contact, so function, architecture and buildability can be assessed while the project’s key decisions are still open.
How do you determine how large the building needs to be?
We start with your company’s functions, employees, production, storage, administration, technical requirements and future needs. These are brought together in a space plan, among other things, which forms the basis for layouts and sketches.
Can you plan for future expansion from the outset?
Yes. Once the expected development needs are known, the building, outdoor areas, access arrangements and structures can be planned to allow for later expansion.
Do you offer standalone architectural consultancy?
No. Our architects work as part of the commercial building projects we develop and deliver with our clients.
Can you work with our own architect?
Yes. If you already have an architect or architectural practice involved in the project, we are happy to work with them.
