Contract, the leading regional workspace design and construction company, announced the results of the Contract Index for May 2013. This indicator records the cost per m2 of construction of the interior of corporate offices, based on three categories established according to the quality of their finishes and their technical facilities in: Basic Standard, Superior Standard and High Range.
The category of air conditioning and heating represents 50% of the total cost of a high-end office and its increase in the month of May was 3.72%. For its part, the item that has presented the highest increase with respect to the month of April is that of plaster partition, which had an increase of 10.13% in the basic standard category, 10.4% in higher standard and 8.82% in high range.
As of April, Contract began publishing the Index also in Uruguay. The company, which has offices in Santiago de Chile, Montevideo and Buenos Aires, is in the midst of regional expansion, amplifying its arrival in more parts of the region to offer the same quality and service methodology throughout the continent.
Within this framework, the Contract Index begins to be seen as a reference value not only in the Argentine market, but in the regional context.
In this sense, Víctor Feingold, Regional Director of the company comments: "our business model and our comprehensive service are perfectly suited to the needs of global companies, which require a single supplier in their different headquarters for the development of their corporate workspaces.
Therefore, the Contract Index is very useful for these companies since it allows them to compare costs in different countries, anticipate the investment amounts required in each place and plan their annual budgets as accurately as possible."
