The Property Forum 2022 organised in Prague on May 10 is one of the leading property-related events in the Czech Republic. The event featured the most respected experts of the property market. One of the most popular panel discussion’s participants, besides other famous experts, was Libor Holik, CEO of B+N Referencia Zrt. Czech Republic and Slovakia. The title of the discussion was ‘Flexible and Digital – The Office of the Future’.

The participants of the discussion agreed that these are the two key factors having a decisive impact on the future of the office market as well as the relationship between tenants and service providers. And these two things are closely related.

Libor Holik (B+N): this is not only evolution, it is revolution

Libor Holik highlighted: what you experience today in this industry is not evolution, i.e. not development, but revolution. Just like any other industry in the world, the office market is changing at a high pace. Technology, including digitalization, must basically be about people, for these days there is no doubt that manpower is what matters the most everywhere.

Unfortunately, the war has an influence on the office market as well. However, increasing utility costs have the most drastic instant impact, although they may have positive effects as well: tenants tend to pay more attention to environmentally-friendly solutions.

The majority of Czech employees have returned to their offices

Regarding the future, the most burning question is still this: How can we bring people back to the office? The opinion of the panel members is that flexibility is the key here: it depends on the people’s attitude, age and the industry the company is engaged in.

According to Libor Holik, the majority of Czech companies have already brought their employees back to the office. Multinational companies are, however, binding their time. So, hybrid work is going to stay with us for a good while. He is certain that efficient work is going to be more important in the future than having everybody sitting in the office from 9 to 5. Notwithstanding, the CEO of B+N Czech Republic and Slovakia is optimistic: he would like to see a lot of offices filled with satisfied employees in 5 years’ time.

B+N was awarded as the most innovative service provider by Budapest Airport

Budapest Airport’s Annual Award Gala reflected the importance of the coordinated work of the airport community and its partners. At the grandiose event, the airport operator thanked its partners for their contribution to making Ferenc Liszt International Airport one of the best airports in Europe.

BIM methodology can be the bridge between real estate market players

With the rapid development of technology, it is increasingly important to ensure that buildings are designed, built, operated and maintained in synergy. The Building Information Model (BIM) is widely known, yet its potential is not being exploited by the real estate industry. It may seem expensive at first glance, but using BIM can save significant amounts of money over the life cycle of a building.

Patient control is important

The first impression people have when they enter a hospital is important, but it also has a positive impact on the daily lives of the staff if they can work in a clean, tidy environment. For B+N Referencia Zrt., it is an important mission to improve hospital hygiene standards and appreciates those health care workers who are responsible for or have a heartfelt concern for this. We asked Prof. Dr. Csaba Polgár, Director General of the National Institute of Oncology and Dr. Ilona Tasáry, Chief Hygienist of the National Institute of Oncology on the topic.
