An office should support the way a team works. Layout, collaboration, privacy, meeting spaces, acoustics, lighting, services, technology and future flexibility all influence whether the finished workplace performs effectively.
Team size, working patterns, visitor requirements, meeting needs, storage, focus areas and future growth should be understood before the layout is fixed.
Define team size, work patterns and future growth.
Balance collaboration with private and concentrated work.
Plan arrival, reception and client-facing spaces.
Resolve operational needs before the fit-out is finalised.
The layout, MEP services, acoustics, lighting and technology need to be planned together rather than treated as separate fit-out packages.
Open work, private offices, meeting rooms and movement routes need to support different tasks.
Cooling, ventilation, power, data, lighting and access control need to align with the final layout.
Partitions, ceilings and room placement should help manage sound and privacy.
Lighting, ventilation and thermal comfort affect how effectively the workplace can be used.
Define occupancy, working patterns and business requirements.
Understand the shell or existing office condition.
Resolve layout, services, acoustics and finishes.
Complete fit-out, services and specialist installations.
Coordinate furniture, technology and final equipment.
Test, complete and prepare the office for staff use.
Use the parent service for wider commercial scope, or the sibling specialist route when the project type changes.
Send the location, approximate size, current condition and the way the business needs to use the space.
