What must the space do?
An office brief and a retail brief ask different questions. Define the essentials before comparing photographs or headline rent.
Office premises
Plan around your team and the way it works.
- Usable working space, meeting rooms and room to grow.
- What is included in the fit-out, and what needs changing.
- Power, cooling, connectivity, operating hours and building access.
- Staff and visitor journeys, parking and deliveries.
Retail and showroom space
Look at the customer journey as closely as the floor plan.
- The exact unit, floor, frontage and approach.
- Layout, ceiling height, storage and loading arrangements.
- Power and other requirements specific to your intended use.
- Visibility, neighbouring activity and visits at the hours your business will operate.
