Start with how your people actually work.
Headcount is only one part of a workplace brief. We examine activities, collaboration, privacy, visitor experience and future change to establish a space plan with a clear business purpose.
For organisations evaluating a move, consolidating teams or deciding how much space they need.

Practical questions
Before you begin.
How many desks do we need?
Use attendance patterns, team needs and future growth to test scenarios rather than applying a universal desk-sharing ratio.
Can strategy start before a building is selected?
Yes. A spatial brief helps compare candidate floors consistently and identifies the compromises in each option.
Does hybrid work mean open plan everywhere?
No. A useful mix includes focused work, confidential calls, collaboration, meetings and social settings.
How do you involve employees?
Agree a proportionate consultation process, then communicate what changes, why it changes and how the new settings are intended to be used.
