FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What does the Office Space Calculator do?
The workspace calculator delivers a realistic, actionable estimate of the total floor area your team needs. It factors in all aspects of the modern workplace, including your headcount, specific hybrid or flex work arrangements, preferred seating types, essential meeting and focus zones, and required circulation space, providing you an reliable starting point for your new office plan.

How accurate are the results?
This is a planning estimate, not a final design. Accuracy improves with more precise inputs. For test-fits and building regulations compliance, our design and build team can validate and refine the plan for your building and locality

What is circulation and how is it calculated?
Circulation is the space that allows people to move comfortably and safely throughout an office, including corridors, walkways and the clearance around workstations, meeting rooms and furniture. In workplace planning, circulation is typically allowed as 25–35% of the usable office area, depending on the workplace layout. Open-plan offices generally require less circulation than layouts with many enclosed rooms. During the design stage, circulation is refined to comply with fire safety, accessibility and building requirements while supporting an efficient workplace layout.

What’s the difference between net area and gross area?
Net area is the space your organisation actually occupies and uses, including workstations, meeting rooms, collaboration spaces and internal circulation. Gross area is the area quoted by the landlord and includes column spaces and in some cases a proportion of shared building spaces such as lift lobbies, toilets and service areas. Our calculator estimates the net usable area your workplace requires. When evaluating properties, this can be converted into the gross area used for leasing.

Who should use this calculator?
This tool is designed for professionals leading workplace changes, including office relocations, change management, major fit-outs, or space optimisation projects. Our core users include facilities management teams, corporate real estate professionals, office managers, and workplace design teams seeking a quick, and reliable method to map out their future spatial requirements.

Can I use this tool if my team works hybrid or flex?
Yes. The calculator allows you to input your total team size, specify the number of staff working hybrid, and define their average on-site days per week. When you are ready to discuss your office project further, we use this data to provide deeper insights through a consultation with our strategists.

Is the Office Space Calculator free to use?
Yes. The calculator is completely free, available online anytime, and doesn’t require registration. Use it as often as you like to explore different headcounts, hybrid ratios, and workspace scenarios — your results are generated instantly.
