Space Planning

Space planning is the in-depth analysis of how spaces are used within buildings, taking into consideration the purpose of space and it’s functionality.

Space planning helps ensure the efficient use of existing or new floor spaces, taking note of who will use the space, the workflow, new modern furniture and circulation of an area and how people move through the space and how these can be improved.

There are regulatory and legislative guidelines that should be meet in each workplace. This legislation sets out the sufficient floor area, height and unoccupied spaces for the purposes of health, safety and welfare of employees and visitors.

Planning spaces involves tackling some complex issues, such as;

• Location and access to amenities

• Corporate culture

• Building constraints

• Spatial considerations

• Your working practices

• Proximity relationships

• ICT requirements

• Fittings, furniture, storage and equipment

• Potential for future expansion

• Work environment efficiency

• Environmental requirements

• Security and privacy

• Health and Safety legislation

By carefully considering these elements, we can produce a detailed space plan, handle tendering and procurement and manage installation of your new space. If you feel your workspace could benefit from these improvement, please get it touch and let us know about your situation.
