Save big rental costs with more efficient premises

The Malling report from April 2026 reveals some clear structural trends in the office market:

· Customers are renegotiating rather than moving and are instead optimizing for smaller spaces. The result is tighter offices with higher demands on functionality.

· Tenants are increasingly looking towards the city center to attract the best talent. There, square meters are even more expensive, which increases the need for efficient premises.

Need flexibility

– The trends in the Malling report strengthen the relevance of our products and likely contribute greatly to the increased demand we are experiencing, says QuietPod founder Erlend Einarsen.

“When companies are downsizing, but not downsizing, the remaining space needs to be streamlined. With highly mobile meeting and breakout rooms in various sizes, you can make the most of every square meter and even rearrange the space yourself when things change. Plus, you can choose between buying and renting, maximizing your savings,” he says.

Saves large sums of money

Two scenarios that QuietPod has developed clearly show why the demand for more flexible solutions is increasing. For example, if your company downsizes its premises in the center of Oslo by 100 square meters, there will be approximately 370,000 kroner saved in annual rental costs. If, in order to maintain the same functionality, you replace the 100 square meters with two QuietPod Talks (1 person) and one QuietPodWork (2-4 people), the investment will have been saved after just one year. In the years that follow, the savings will be pure net, and in this particular example more than 3.3 million kroner over ten years.

In another scenario, a company in one of the city's most expensive areas chooses to rent 540 square meters instead of 600, by replacing two planned fixed meeting rooms with two mobile ones from QuietPod, Work (2-4 people) and Conference (4-6 people), respectively. Here, the company will break even after just 11 months and will save a lot on rent in the years after that.

Note that these scenarios only apply to purchases. If you choose to lease the pods for three or five years, the math becomes different and potentially even more lucrative, depending on your company's future plans.

– The scenarios show how profitable it can be to invest in mobile meeting room solutions instead of fixed ones. In addition, we can tailor the models to your goals and the modular system allows you to decide how much glass or walls should be or where the door should be placed. The pods can also be clad in wooden slats and there are a number of interior variations. There is therefore a good chance that you will experience QuietPod's solutions as an upgrade to the premises you have, says Einarsen.

In addition, you of course get all the other QuietPod qualities, such as the best soundproofing of all quiet rooms and top-class ventilation.
