Space Needs Analysis

When a client is looking at different buildings to move into, we can perform a space needs analysis to determine needs based on short or long term lease or space purchase requirements. These are conducted to minimize long term costs and avoid expenses including moving costs associated with business growth or recession. Based on the needs of your company, such as current employee counts, anticipated future growth as well as ancillary space requirements we help you define how much square footage in office space you need at different stages. We can then help you work with your leasing or real estate agent to find the perfect space for your company.

Programming & Space Planning

We’ll work with you to define your specific requirements for your space. Discussing criteria you may need such as:

  • how many individual or shared offices are needed,
  • open plan workstations, storage, meeting space(s), etc.
For retail clients we also determine things like:
  • merchandising display needs,
  • private spaces if required,
  • point of sale areas, etc.
Once programming is completed, we create a layout of the space for client review. This is where the true development of the space begins to take shape, determining workflow efficiencies, use of space and aesthetics.

Interior Design Concept

This begins to take shape with the space planning phase, the individuality of each client and company is addressed here by incorporating company philosophies, logos, and colour schemes. Finishes such as flooring, walls, ceiling, furnishings are selected in this phase.

Construction Drawings & Project Coordination

We produce drawings that General Contractors may use for permit purposes and also for pricing to build out the space, and will work with them and other consultants including engineers and move coordinators to ensure your office project runs smoothly.

“Hiring a designer adds value and helps you to save both time and money. A designer will mitigate risks, minimize timing disruptions and crush your learning curve.”
