How much Office Space per Employee?
Find out how much office space should be allocated to each employee to determine your future office space requirements.
Working out your approximate office space requirements is an essential part in helping you find the right office space. If you know roughly the size of office you are looking for, it will help your Property Agent draw up a shortlist of suitably-sized properties more easily, and save you heaps of time viewing properties that are either too small, or too big.
Calculating your office space requirements has been made much easier with the HelpMovingOffice.co.uk Office Space Calculator. This interactive calculator estimates the total number of square feet your new business requires. All you need to do is enter the number of employees, meeting rooms, and private offices - and it automatically calculates the requirements for you.
When considering your office space requirements, you will need to account for a certain amount of office space per employee. As a general rule of thumb, you need to allow approximately 150 "useable" square feet, depending on the type and style of your business.
Don't forget that when you are looking for office space you will need to factor in an additional 10 - 20% to the total square feet to allow for future growth and additional employees. As the additional expense of terminating an office lease early after only a short period will be more than offset by having this additional office space in reserve as your business evolves.
