The right office size depends on more than headcount. Attendance patterns, business growth, workplace layout, building costs and the way your people work can all change how much space you need and what it is likely to cost.
The Spaceful Scenario Planning Calculator brings these factors together so you can test the decisions that shape your space requirement and budget before you start looking for property.
Start with the business requirement, not the building. Model your current headcount, expected growth and likely office attendance to create an indicative workplace scenario before property options begin shaping the brief.
This gives you a clearer starting point for deciding how much space to look for.
See the indicative office size your business may need, along with workpoints, desk-sharing ratio, space per person and meeting and collaboration capacity.
The calculator translates your workforce and attendance assumptions into a practical space requirement rather than defaulting to a traditional one-desk-per-person approach.
Property and workplace decisions can materially change the cost of an office move.
Test different locations and building grades, lease terms, workplace layouts and fit-out investment levels to see how these choices influence rent, incentives, fit-out costs and the overall cost of your workplace.
Compare your preferred scenario with a traditional 1:1 workplace to see the potential difference in floorplate, desks, rent, property costs and occupancy cost per employee.
This gives you a clearer view of how workplace planning decisions can affect both space efficiency and long-term cost.
