Office space planning and space auditing

Office space planning is an extremely important, but often overlooked requirement for any business looking to relocate to or expand with a new office. In recent studies, employees cited the workplace as the factor that impacts most on their productivity. If your employees aren’t happy, then you won’t be either.

Recent office floor plan trends

 In recent times, office floor plan trends have shown businesses’ leaning towards open-plan layouts. The open office space plan eliminates the obvious hierarchical structure represented by large-offices for management and small-cubicles for everyone else. With office floor plans of this kind, employees and their managers can openly communicate without the barrier imposed by physical walls.

In order to create a productive workspace, an office primarily needs to be designed for functionality. For example, particular areas can be designated to serve certain functions, such as an open hub-style space, where groups of employees can meet freely to discuss and generate fresh ideas.

 Lighting has also been highlighted as an influential factor in an employee's morale - bright and harsh lighting can cause distraction, low morale and even physical discomfort. Conversely, lighting that is too low can make work difficult to complete. Research suggests that the correct level of lighting can not only increase productivity but, if tied in as part of a 'going green' scheme, can even boost employee morale by giving them a sense of purpose and responsibility.
