Office space calculator
Deciding on new business premises is never easy, but our new commercial space calculator aims to help take some of the hassle out of the process.
The tool aims to help assess the square footage needed by a company to accommodate all of their requirements - from staff to dedicated computer server rooms.
It can help determine more quickly the premises that don't fit the bill, saving you time and effort in your search.
However, the tool's calculation should only be used as a guide in the overall decision process. A space planner or architect should be employed to advise on the final office layout before a lease is signed.
