Headcount alone is not enough: attendance patterns, meeting demand and growth scenarios should shape the area brief.
Why this matters
Office decisions affect cost, employee experience, business continuity and corporate image. The strongest decisions begin with a clear requirement and a consistent method for comparing buildings.
What occupiers should evaluate
Review location, floor efficiency, technical specifications, operating hours, management standards, commercial terms and future flexibility. Availability and landlord proposals can change quickly, so every option should be reconfirmed before approval.
Practical next step
Prepare a short written brief covering team size, preferred districts, budget, move-in timing and must-have facilities. Use the same brief for every building tour so that comparisons remain objective.
