The right questions
at the right time.
How is the office used through the week?
What needs privacy?
Which teams need to work together?
We work through these decisions using the existing property information, site conditions and your priorities. Any specialist review or approval responsibility is identified in the project proposal.
Start with the scope.
A useful price follows measured quantities and an agreed specification. For workplace planning, the scope and installation interfaces matter as much as the visible finish.
Read our cost guidanceWhat shapes the proposal
- Shell condition and workplace density
- Meeting rooms and acoustic requirements
- Furniture, IT and AV responsibilities
- Phasing and move-in constraints
The programme separates design, external reviews, procurement and site work. It also records the decisions needed from you before orders or installation can proceed.
Plan the adjoining details.
Count activities as well as desks.
A useful workplace brief asks where focused work, calls, collaboration, learning and social time occur. Gather input from the teams using the space and test scenarios rather than relying only on a headcount ratio. Consider accessibility, storage and how visitor activity affects circulation. Furniture and technology should support the activities assigned to each setting.

Four points to carry into the brief

From a decision to a clear appointment
Keep the agreed choices with the current drawings and specification. Identify who designs, supplies and installs each element, and how the work connects to neighbouring packages.
The proposal should also record any remaining investigations, product information and handover requirements. Resolve changes in writing so their effect on the scope and programme can be reviewed.
