Office design and space planning explained
Office space planning is the process of fitting your headcount, rooms and storage into a floor plate so the layout works before any money is spent on building it.

Once a layout is agreed, we develop finishes, lighting and furniture schedules so the price you sign is based on real drawings, not assumptions.
We measure the floor, count how your team actually uses space and draw test-fit layouts showing desks, rooms and circulation. You see options side by side with a guide cost for each.
In the South West, many offices occupy converted or listed buildings, where fit-outs have to respect original features while adding modern power, data and lighting.

Frequently asked questions
How much does office design and space planning cost in Dorset?
Prices in Dorset generally sit within national ranges; access, working hours and specification move the number more than location. A free survey gives you a fixed, itemised price.
How quickly can you survey in Dorset?
We usually offer survey dates within a week of your enquiry, sooner for urgent projects.
How many people will fit on our floor?
Planning guides use 8 to 10 sq m per person for a mixed office, but the right figure depends on how many people are in on a typical day. We model both.
Do you charge for design?
Initial layouts are included with the survey. Detailed design is priced separately and credited against the build if you go ahead.
Do you cover Weymouth?
Yes. We carry out office design and space planning throughout Dorset, including Weymouth, and across all 20 postcode districts in the area.
