Requirement Calculator
How many square feet do we need for our next office?
As a rule of
thumb you can plan on between 150 to 200 square feet per person.
However, to get a more accurate indication of your square foot requirements
OfficeGuide.com offers the following space requirement calculation
to aid you in your commercial real estate decision-making process.
Select the usage and square feet per use or user to determine your
needs. These calculations are the actual measured spaces for each
use. To arrive at your total 'useable' space required for your needs
you must add 30% to the total in order to allow for corridors and
the load factor. The landlord will add a 'core factor' in calculating
your rent to arrive at your 'rentable' space.
Generally leases
run for a minimum of three to five years so be sure to make provision
for growth in personnel in your calculations.
Additional
rules of thumb to assist you in your useable area calculations (quoted
in sq. ft.):
Reception: 100 + 25/guest; Kitchen/Lounge: 50 + 15/person; File
room: 7/file; Conference Room: 25/seat.
