Calculate How Much Office Space
When you are considering a move for your company, or just starting out in new premises, you need to work out how much office space you need by calculating your size requirements accurately. It is very important to consider the space you will be needing before touring any properties or signing a lease.
Understanding your office space requirements will help you find a suitably sized office and help to avoid touring heaps of unsuitable properties because they are either too big or too small for your business requirements.
If you are not exactly sure of how much office space you need, use the Office Space Calculator to find out. All you need is a basic idea of headcount, number of cubicles and conference rooms and the Office Space Calculator will work it out for you.
Employees need to have certain amount of personal space in order to achieve optimum productivity, and there is also a standard amount of space in between desks that you need to comply with. Generally speaking you can estimate for 150 to 250 ft per person - and the Office Space Calculator will consider all these issues and provide you with an approximate calculation of the overall size of office you should be looking for.
It is also important to consider how your company will be expanding within the time of the lease, and you should consider adding about 10%-20% of the total space calculation to factor in future growth plans.
You should also consult with a local Tenant Rep Broker who will review your office size calculations and shortlist some suitably sized properties that match your criteria for you to tour. A Tenant Rep Broker is an indisposable element of securing the right office space. They will prepare cost analysis and office lease options that will not only get you into the right space, but also secure the best price and deal on your company's behalf.
