3 Office Space Efficiencies that Save Time and Money

If you're debating office spaces and feeling a bit lost...

Consider the space's bones.

You want your raw office space to be efficient.

An inefficient layout can mean unexpected build-out costs, operational issues, and growth constraints.

Before committing, check these three things to identify potential:

***********

(𝟭) 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲-𝘁𝗼-𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗼𝘄 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵 (The Natural Light Maximizer)
The distance between the building’s central service core (elevators, stairs, restrooms) and the outer windows directly impacts how much of your floor plate receives natural light — a key requirement for employee well-being.

𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 10–14 m
𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: Over 18 m

(𝟮) 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝘂𝗺𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 (The Layout Flexibility Factor)
The consistency and spacing of internal structural columns dictate how easily you can fit your required number of workstations, meeting rooms, and collaboration zones.

𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆: 8–9 m
𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: Irregular or very narrow spacing

(𝟯) 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿-𝘁𝗼-𝗖𝗲𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 (The Employee Experience & Infrastructure Factor)
The finished height between the floor and the dropped ceiling affects both the perceived quality of the space and the potential for housing modern infrastructure.

𝗢𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁: 3+ m
𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻: Low ceilings (<2.7 m)

***********
There are many other elements to consider, and we use the 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 to formally analyze your shortlisted spaces against your specific headcount and budget goals.
