4.3 Offices

Offices are different from factories and shops because they do not produce or sell goods. Instead, they offer various services to the populations of the cities of Tycoon Online.
==Office construction==
As with factories and shops, offices need to be built before they can function. To commence the construction of a newly bought office, assign workers to it. They will start generating construction points every 10 minutes until enough points have been accumulated to finish the construction. The number of construction points required depends on how many zones the office occupies. Each zone requires 2 500 construction points. 
The length of time formula:
time in hours = (office construction points/production point total of employees)/6
For example, a clinic has 5 000 construction points. If you place two builders with a total of 110 production points in your clinic, the time to completion is a little over 7.5 hours.
(5000/110) / 6 = 7.57 hours 
The maximum number of buildings that can be built in Tycoon Online is 25. This includes factories, shops and offices.
==Selling services==
An office generates a modest amount of service points on its own. However, profit from an office is marginal without staff assigned to it. You can have a maximum of 2 employees working in each office. 
Service points are generated every ten minutes. Service points are accumulated until there is enough to complete the current job assignment. One hour of consulting requires 2 000 service points. Like with shops and factories over time your office will deteriorate and produce less service points. When the deterioration becomes unacceptable to you your only choice is to knock the office down and build again.
Note that while factories and shops increase your company value just from producing and selling goods, offices produce no company value other than from the money that they make.
==Office efficiency==
The maximum of possible service points generated every time are decided by the office's basic production and the production of the staff. The minimum possible service points that can be generated is decided by the office's efficiency rating. The efficiency rating is a fixed number that cannot be affected in any way by you or other players.
However it does deteriorate:
The game does a calculation each day based on the previous day's efficiency. The actual formula used is:
new efficiency = previous effeciency - (building age * 0.0002 * base efficiency)
