Your results
Good — high density
Includes: desks, walkways and a minimal share of meeting and breakout space. A compact, cost led setup, best where desks are shared across the week rather than owned by one person.
Better — standard
Includes: desks, walkways, a proper allocation of meeting rooms, and some breakout space. The benchmark most UK offices are built around.
Best — premium
Includes: desks, generous meeting and collaboration space, dedicated breakout and wellbeing areas, and room to grow into.
Each range is a total office footprint, not just desk space. It already covers walkways, meeting rooms and breakout areas at a level appropriate to that tier. Figures are guide ranges based on industry benchmarks (BCO occupational density guidelines), a starting point for planning rather than a fixed quote.
