Contract Workplaces

What Contract Workplaces does

Contract Workplaces (legal entity: Contract Rent Argentina S.A.) is a Latin American workspace design and build firm founded in 1996 in Buenos Aires by architect Daniel Flom and economist Rafael Flom. The company delivers integrated corporate office solutions through a proprietary four-stage "4D" methodology (Discovery, Design, Delivery, Dynamics) covering workplace strategy consulting, architectural design, fit-out construction, change management, and recurring facility services, with a specialized education-focused sub-brand called ReCreo and an Office-as-a-Service offering branded Camp. Core technical work is turnkey commercial interior design and construction, augmented by audiovisual and smart-office technology integration and post-occupancy facility management; there is no evidence of proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability disclosed in the available data.

The firm employs approximately 400 professionals and reports 2,350+ delivered projects covering 2.2+ million m² across 15 Latin American countries plus the United States, with directly owned operations in Argentina, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Costa Rica, and Brazil, supplemented by a network of certified local suppliers elsewhere. Named enterprise clients include L'Oréal, Bayer, Unilever, Nestlé, Roche, Microsoft, Google, Mercado Libre, WPP, Globant, and Syngenta, drawn primarily from pharmaceuticals, consumer goods, technology, and advertising.

Revenue mechanics are predominantly project-based, priced per square meter on a custom quote basis with no public price list, with project sizes ranging from 241 m² to 12,700 m². Revenue diversification is being pursued through subscription-style Facility Services and Camp (Office-as-a-Service), Workplace Strategy Consulting, and Office Technology Integration, which together create a mix of project and recurring streams. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales via the regional office network — no retail, no self-service channel — and the firm is privately held and founder-managed, with no public funding, M&A, or revenue disclosures.
