Straightforward questions that should be addressed in order to determine your company’s office space requirements.
NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES:
- How many employees do you need to accommodate in an office?
Consider how many of your employees will be working from the office and how frequently they will be doing so.
- Do you anticipate that number will change in three to five years?
While it can be difficult to predict how your company will evolve over a number of years, making an educated prediction will be critical to determining the amount of space your company will require.
- As your business grows or contracts, will you need multiple office locations, or can you operate from a single location?
If you anticipate a change in employee headcount, you’ll want to consider whether your company will need multiple, smaller office locations, or if a single, centralized location will be the optimal approach.

NUMBER OF EMPLOYEES:
The amount of space your organization will require for its commercial office will vary based on the type of buildout, or office layout, that you select — a buildout focused on private offices and cubicles will necessitate more space than an open plan buildout, for instance. On average, though, CoStar data indicates that in 2020, U.S. offices allocate approximately 214 square feet per employee. That standard encompasses both the employee’s personal workspace, as well as their share of communal areas such as conferences rooms, kitchens, printer rooms and reception areas.
However, multiplying your company’s number of employees by a factor of 214 doesn’t tell the entire story of how much space your organization will require; you’ll also need to understand the difference between rentable and usable square feet.
What Office Buildout Will Work Best for Your Business:
This decision will be significantly informed by the types of tasks carried out by your company, and what its priorities are with regard to considerations like client interaction, privacy, collaboration, productivity and wellness. The three most common types of buildouts are open plan, collaborative and private office. Each of these buildouts offer distinct attributes and challenges, and the layout you ultimately select will have an impact on almost every facet of your buildout costs and occupancy experience.
