Space Planning

Space Planning

At the Space Company, we offer a comprehensive office layout service as part of our furniture installation and relocation service. CAD based, we can help you maximise the use of your office space in the most efficient manner.

We are experienced in providing efficient and innovative layout designs that meet company requirements, whilst complying to regulations, guidelines and common practices. We can also verify, maintain and update, where necessary, any existing drawings that you possess to support your projects.

Our experience tells us that non specialist space plan designers are not focused entirely from the perspective of the users work environment. To capture the requirements of a real time office operation in support of a company’s core business needs, we recommend that space planning is carried out by an experienced space planner whose focus is on the functionality of the work environment.

Functionality planning should be in consultation with the client’s core business stakeholders rather than an architect or designer, whose primary focus may be on aesthetics. Specialist space planners are equipped to identify any potential problems before they happen and deal with issues by carrying out a site survey of its contents, prior to any physical changes taking effect.

In addition to this, we can create new accurate base building drawings for you, which often identifies issues that need addressing in the planning process. Planning to this level, is something we feel sets us apart from both ordinary move services and mainstream furniture suppliers.

Property portfolios are a large expense. Reviewing your office space, to improve occupancy, the work environment and its functionality, often results in improved cost per head and employee productivity.

By employing space metrics, such as occupational density and space utilization (Pre & Post Occupancy Evaluations), we can calculate the costs of your current layouts and offer alternatives that improve your office. We can provide you with the business case, that justifies the need for change and demonstrates productivity gains and cost savings.
