Space Effectiveness Audit

Find out whether your office is working as hard as the lease you signed for it.

When to engage

Is This The Right Moment?

Organizations engage when the office no longer matches how the business works, and a lease or budget decision is coming that will lock the mismatch in.

  • Floors sit half empty on most days, and nobody has put a number on what that costs
  • People come in on anchor days and still cannot find a room to focus or a table to work at together
  • A lease event is 18 to 36 months out, and you need facts before anyone tours a building
  • Attendance policy has changed, but the floor plan still reflects how the company used to work

What you leave with

What This Engagement Achieves

  1. 01A true utilization picture: how much of your space gets used, when, and by whom
  2. 02A functional fit assessment of where the design supports real work and where it works against it
  3. 03A ranked findings register, each gap tied to its cost, capacity, or productivity impact
  4. 04A clear set of next moves: fix in place, hold for the lease event, or take to leadership

The engagement

How It Works

  1. Step 01

    Scope

    We agree which sites, which questions, and how deep to go. Your situation sets the depth, not a package.

  2. Step 02

    Gather

    Occupancy and badge data, floor plans, lease abstracts, and structured conversations with leaders and the people who use the space.

  3. Step 03

    Observe

    Walk-throughs across different days and times, to see how the space is used rather than how it was designed to be used.

  4. Step 04

    Report

    A findings session with your leadership team, followed by a written report you own outright.

What is included

One Engagement, Scoped To You

Single scope

Space Effectiveness Audit

There are no packages. Every audit covers the same core ground, and we set the depth together in the first conversation.

  • Utilization against contracted square footage, by site and by floor
  • Space mix: desks, meeting rooms, focus space, and collaboration space
  • Functional fit between the layout and how teams actually work
  • Attendance patterns measured against policy
  • The cost of underused space, per seat and per site
  • Operational gaps, named as findings

Where we find gaps in hard services, soft services, or operating procedures, we name them plainly. Fixing them belongs to our Operating Standards & Governance Frameworks engagement, which keeps this audit focused on the space itself.

Independent by design

We earn nothing from what you decide next. No commissions, no vendor referrals, no refit waiting at the end of the report. That is why the answer is worth trusting.
