 How Much Office Space Does Your Business Really Need? 

 Planning a relocation, refurbishment or workplace transformation? Use our free office space calculator to estimate how much space your business needs—based on headcount, working patterns and future growth plans. 

 Make a better-informed workplace decision 

The right office is not simply a question of square footage. Too much space increases overheads, while too little can restrict collaboration, productivity and growth.

Our office space calculator provides a quick, practical estimate tailored to your organisation. In just a few minutes, you can:

Calculate your space requirement

Receive an indicative estimate of the total office space your organisation may need, based on your team size and workplace requirements. 

Account for hybrid working

Factor in expected attendance levels and hybrid working patterns, rather than calculating space solely from your total headcount. 

Plan for future growth 

Consider anticipated headcount growth to ensure your next workplace can support the business now and into the future. 

Compare working patterns 

Explore how changes in attendance, desk-sharing and workplace policies could affect your overall space requirement. 

Inform your property search 

Use your results to create a clearer brief, assess potential buildings and focus your search on appropriately sized properties. 

Start your workplace strategy 

Build an evidence-based foundation for decisions about desks, meeting rooms, collaboration areas and supporting amenities.
