When you calculate and realise how much space you genuinely need, you save yourself from paying for unused desks and underused rooms. It can also reveal where hot desking or shared building facilities could reduce your required footprint.
Get the square footage right to support greater productivity. An effective layout gives employees enough room to work comfortably while allocating suitable areas for focused work, collaboration, and breaks.
As your business continues to grow, think ahead about potential new headcount so you can account for them and won’t run out of space (again!) too quickly. Flexible or managed offices may also make it easier to adapt without committing to a larger conventional lease from the outset.
Depending on the style of your office, you will need 80-150 sq ft per employee. This includes desk space and their share of breakout spaces, meeting rooms, and refreshment areas.
Hybrid work models can reduce the number of permanent desks a business needs, but peak days may increase demand for meeting rooms and common areas. By planning around actual attendance patterns, you can produce a more accurate estimate.
The right number depends on your team size, working patterns, and how often you hold client meetings. Hybrid teams may benefit from several small rooms for video calls alongside larger conference or training rooms.
In the case of private offices, yes. An accurate space calculation should account for reception areas, meeting rooms, and breakout spaces, as well as individual workstations. However, if you are renting an office in a collaborative space, you do not need to include reception areas or other shared facilities in your calculations.
