How to plan an office space: Our design process

Every company has a unique set of requirements for its office space. Depending upon the industry they’re in, the size of the space, number of employees they have and the way those employees like to work, offices can vary significantly – there’s no one size fits all solution to be found here.

That’s why, when you’re planning an office space, it’s important to stick to a clear-cut process; it’s the only way to make sure you cover all bases, creating a space that ticks every single box. After all, if you don’t have to compromise, why should you?

At Plann:d, we’ve carefully developed our office space planning process to ensure that this doesn’t happen. We aim to create spaces that don’t just meet our clients’ budget requirements, but incorporate all of their preferences and suit their team’s way of working.

So, how do we do it? Here’s a step-by-step overview of our space planning process.

Define

It all starts with a consultation process, as you’d expect. There’s a lot to consider when planning an office layout, and it’s our job to make sure that each and every aspect is thoroughly thought through. Working closely with the client, we’ll understand their needs in great detail (covering everything from layout basics to office plant preferences).

Design

Everything we learnt during the consultation phase is then poured into our initial designs. We aim to incorporate all of our clients’ requirements, delivering a proposed design that suits their needs to a tee. But there’s always room for improvement, which is why we offer all our clients the chance to make multiple revisions until they’re totally satisfied.

Procure

Time to go shopping! With the design finalised, we can begin suggesting different furniture and accessories to fill the new space with. With a long list of industry contacts, we make sure our clients get the best possible value for their money.

Install

We love it when a plan comes together, and that’s exactly what the install stage is all about. We’ll deliver the furniture and give the space a makeover, bringing the final digital design to life. Working around the client’s schedule to keep disruption to a minimum, our experienced fit-out team saves clients the hassle of outsourcing.

Aftercare

If there are any snags to sort out or warranty claims to address, the Plann:d team will be ready and waiting to help. And, as our clients grow, we can make revisions to their offices to ensure that their new team members are accommodated.
