With the second wave of Malaysia’s MCO now underway, we’re sure many of you out there are already used to working from home. And because of this prolonged pandemic, many companies out there are starting to find that this working arrangement can be a viable choice for their employees. Google, Microsoft, Airbnb and Twitter are already considering some sort of arrangement to make this permanent.

Which leads us to believe, that maybe soon, even after the pandemic is under control, a work-from-home arrangement could be a choice that employers can offer the employees. Therefore, in the future, the inclusion of a dedicated home office when choosing your next house could become something of a necessity.

One of the benefits of building with our Industrialised Building System is of course the speed of construction but also, the ability to customise the layout according to your needs. So, instead of opting for an open-plan layout which is part of the modern trend, perhaps it is better to compartmentalise your home so that you have a few private, dedicated spaces.

Another thing to consider is the acoustic division within the modern home. Imagine if more than one family member has to do their daily activities at home, it could be hard to maintain focus with all the different noises from around the house. Also, with many opting for virtual calls to replace physical meetings, each call will overlap with one another making it very difficult to concentrate.
