What Do We Mean By Office Space, Planning & Design?
Office space, planning and design is the process before an office refit or refurbishment that allows for the consideration and planning of your new office space. Through our workplace consultancy and project management service, we aim to achieve the most productive and welcoming space for your staff and visitors to your business.
Office Space
When it comes to planning your new office space we will work out how best to maximise and make the most effective use of the space you have, however big or small. Our office floor planning team and project planners will work with you to design office space plans that reduce your office footprint to improve efficiency, whilst still allowing for an engaging and inviting space from which people will work.
Planning office spaces correctly is essential to the overall design process, as it will form the framework for the next steps in office planning. The goal is to create an office space that encourages productivity, efficiency and personal work whilst still allowing room for flexibility and creativity. Office Options will assist you in office space management in order to develop the best office space to suit your needs.
Office Planning
Creating a plan for your office space and design is essential for a successful office project, as it allows you to consider numerous aspects of office life and how it will function on a day to day basis. The benefits of planning your office include increased efficiency, the best use of floor space for reduced and natural movement and flow of people through the office, and consideration of how any office equipment can be factored into your office space plans. If you have a bigger team, it also allows you to consider how staff supervision will work, as well as health and safety factors.
Office Design
The design of your office is vital for creating a welcoming space that employees want to work in, and for customers or clients to have a positive experience when visiting. Your staff will spend a lot of time in the office space, so it is important to ensure that it is appealing, comfortable and allows them to perform their role seamlessly. Some of the key factors to consider when planning a modern office design are lighting, appearance, functionality and flexibility. Our office design services team will work alongside you to create an office space design that ticks all of these boxes.

The Office Options team have extensive experience in designing office spaces and we will guide you through the process from the initial concept and design stages, to the finishing touches in order that we deliver an experience that will be successful and to budget. We will take care of any challenges and problems, making the process as seamless and stress free as possible for you and your business.
Agile & Hybrid Working
As many companies turn to agile and hybrid working patterns, staff in some businesses are only occasionally spending time in the office, or using it primarily as a meeting point. The office space and layout needs to be capable of easily adapting to changing circumstances, and provide an effective support base for the team and for customers.
Operating an agile and open office space will encourage collaboration when people are in the office, and encourage communications and connections across the team. If staff are likely to come in on days they have meetings, ensure that there are break out spaces where these can occur.

We work with you to develop and realise your goals and objectives for your office space. We will help maintain and improve team communication channels, and enhance team work areas within your organisation via outstanding interior design and furnishing.
Our design team provides CAD floor plans and 3D renders, mood boards, furniture samples and swatches.
