Space Planning

The need for an effective, integrated approach to Space Management is often overlooked by organisations with substantial corporate accommodation requirements. This failure can cause serious disruption to business operations, increase operating costs and overheads as departments are forced to relocate and reorganise regularly, whilst reducing staff productivity. In ever increasing numbers, organisations are being forced to lease unsuitable overflow office space at premium rates and under unreasonable terms to cope with fluctuations in staff numbers. The International Facility Management Association reports the cost of moving each employee to a new desk position averages £365 per move, and churn rates within organisations average 41%.

Whether looking for new offices, expanding within your existing offices, or down-sizing, the efficient use of office space is vital for any business looking to control its operating costs whilst ensuring that productivity is maintained. This requires an inventive approach to layout design, space allocation and storage, which the FRS team have developed over many years designing, space planning and implementing office reconfigurations and relocations for many small and large organisations.
