Moving Offices

When it comes to finding the right office space for your business, it’s important to consider not just the cost but also the amount of space you need to accommodate your team and your operations. Below, the team at Chestertons MENA highlight the steps needed to take to calculate how much office accommodation you need, so you can make an informed decision when looking for a new office.

Assess your current and future team size

The first step in determining how much office space you need is to consider the size of your current team and any future growth plans. Think about current employees and how many you expect to have in the near future. This will give you an idea of how much space you’ll need.

Consider your office layout

When calculating your office space needs, you also need to consider the layout of the office. For example, if you have a lot of employees working in cubicles, you’ll need more space than if you have an open plan layout. Additionally, consider the amount of storage space you need for documents, equipment and other office supplies.

Think about your specific needs

Every business has unique needs when it comes to an office. For example, if you’re in a creative field, you may need more space for brainstorming and collaboration. If you’re in a field that requires a lot of client meetings, you’ll need space for conference rooms or dedicated meeting areas.

Take into account any legal requirements

Some businesses are legally required to have specific accommodation, such as accessibility requirements for those with disabilities. Make sure to take these requirements into account.

Use a space calculator

There are many online space calculators that can help you determine how much space you need. These calculators take into account factors such as the number of staff, layout and specific business needs to give you an estimate of the space you need.

Once all of these factors have been considered, you’ll have a better idea of the space requirement. Remember your needs may change over time, so it’s important to reassess your requirements regularly and make adjustments as necessary. By taking the time to properly calculate your office space needs, you’ll be able to find the perfect space for your business and ensure that your team can be productive.
