Büroart

What Büroart does

Büroart GmbH is a Munich-based office consulting firm founded in 1989 that designs and implements data-driven workplace concepts for enterprise clients in Germany. Its core offering is the proprietary 360°-Office-Matrix (BA), a 12-step methodology that runs from needs assessment and employee participation through sensor-based usage analysis, space and zone planning, interior design, bidding support, construction coordination, and change management. Supporting modules include the BA Efficiency Matrix for quantifying concentration-work losses, Potenzialanalyse, Status-Quo-Analyse, and C-Level workshops. The firm has executed 834 projects covering 258,120 m² of planned office space and delivered 19,762 optimized workplaces.

The firm sells exclusively through direct enterprise field sales, engaging C-Level buyers via workshops, employee interviews, and comprehensive consulting engagements, with appointments bookable through Microsoft Outlook. Pricing is project-based and quote-driven, with no public rates; revenue is generated through end-to-end professional services engagements including analysis, concept development, space planning, interior design, and post-implementation change management. Customer segments skew toward medium-to-large German enterprises navigating hybrid-work transitions and office footprint reduction, with documented outcomes such as EUR 20M+ in savings on a single location-decision engagement and a 70% reduction in workstations for a Munich software developer.

Büroart is a privately held GmbH led by managing shareholder Andreas Lesche, with no external investment or parent company. The firm employs 11–50 staff comprising analysts, project managers, interior architects, and customer support specialists. It operates solely in Bavaria and Germany, maintains a content marketing presence via its blogBAr publication and standard social channels, and has no disclosed software products, AI/ML capabilities, partnerships, or external funding.

Broad incumbents

• CBRE: Global commercial real estate services and investment firm offering workplace strategy and occupancy planning at scale. Directly comparable consulting deliverable to Büroart's offerings, typically delivered as a slice of a broader enterprise relationship rather than as a standalone engagement.
• Drees & Sommer: Large German real estate and construction consultancy with workplace strategy, interior planning, and change-management practices. Broader portfolio (project management, sustainability, digital) than Büroart, but overlaps materially on office concept and tenant-fit-out advisory for German enterprises.
• Cushman & Wakefield: Global commercial real estate firm with workplace and occupancy strategy practices. Comparable service category to Büroart, with stronger multinational delivery capability and bundled CRE services, but typically less specialized in activity-based working transformation.
• JLL (Jones Lang LaSalle): Global commercial real estate services firm with workplace strategy, change management, and occupancy optimization practices bundled into enterprise accounts. Comparable end-product but delivered as part of much wider brokerage, PM, and FM portfolios; competes on procurement-led enterprise deals.

Others

• Haworth: Global office furniture manufacturer offering integrated workplace consulting, space planning, and change-management services alongside its product portfolio. Adjacent competitor to Büroart on enterprise workplace projects, though typically product-anchored rather than pure advisory.
• Steelcase: Global office furniture manufacturer with workplace research, consulting, and change-management practices (including its 360 magazine research). Competes with Büroart for influence over enterprise workspace decisions, particularly in Germany and EMEA, though as part of an integrated furniture-and-services model.

Direct peers

• Kinzo: Berlin-based interior architecture and New Work consultancy focused on Activity-Based Working and hybrid office concepts for German enterprise clients. Closest direct German competitor to Büroart, with comparable service mix (analysis, concept, planning, change management) and overlapping customer segments.
• Bene: Austrian office furniture manufacturer with integrated office concept and change-management consulting services. Comparable to Büroart's end-to-end office optimization offering, though anchored in furniture rather than pure consulting; serves DACH-region enterprises.
• Leesman: UK-headquartered workplace experience analytics firm combining employee surveys, sensor data, and benchmarking for office optimization. Directly comparable to Büroart's employee-engagement and efficiency-analysis modules, with stronger data/analytics orientation.
• Veldhoen + Company: Dutch-origin workplace transformation consultancy widely credited with pioneering Activity-Based Working. Directly comparable to Büroart in service scope (ABW, desk-sharing, change management) and target client base (European enterprises), though larger and with broader European reach.
