What Offconsult does

Offconsult AG is a privately held Swiss integrated design, planning, and consulting firm headquartered in Zürich, founded in 1990 and operating across the D/A/CH region (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). The company delivers workplace transformation services through four interlocking practice areas: Beratung (consulting on New Work and workplace strategy), Innenarchitektur (interior architecture and design), Bau (construction/tenant improvement management), and Workplace Management (operational facility, CAFM, and move management). It also operates an educational sub-brand (Masterclass) and a coworking concept sub-brand (Office LAB) deployed for clients such as Credit Suisse. Target customers span large Swiss and multinational enterprises (UBS, Credit Suisse, Swiss Re, ABB, Roche, Siemens, EY, PWC), mid-sized firms, and public-sector institutions (Kantonsspital Winterthur, Kanton Zürich, SBB, Flughafen Zürich), with the firm functioning as a single point of accountability from strategy through execution.

The business model is project-based professional services delivered via direct enterprise sales, with multi-year contracts and custom quote-based pricing. Revenue is generated through consulting engagements, interior architecture fees, and construction management services for office relocations, redesigns, and New Work transformations; Workplace Management and ongoing facility management (e.g., UPC, responsAbility) provide a recurring services layer attached to one-off project mandates. The firm is founder/management-owned (Inhaber Roger Krieg, Geschäftsführer Reto Hafner), with no external funding, parent company, subsidiaries, or M&A activity disclosed.

Offconsult markets through a multi-channel presence (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, newsletter, website portfolio) emphasizing reference clients and case-study evidence; recognitions include consecutive Serviced Apartment Awards (2023, 2024) and a 'highly commended' Building Better Healthcare Award (2015). The firm has 11–50 employees per firmographic data, with no disclosed revenue figure and no AI/ML or proprietary technology platform — its competitive position rests on accumulated reference portfolio, multidisciplinary talent, and integrated delivery rather than technology assets.
