Be proactive when thinking about real estate, even in the distant future. It’s challenging to find the right space, and teaming up with a good, experienced team of consultants is necessary to make a good decision in time.
Tenant Representatives need to capture as much detail as they can before they commence premises sourcing for their client. Their expertise is undoubtedly transactional and is solid across many facets of the commercial real estate realm, however dependent upon their exposure to larger clients and projects, workplace strategy and space planning techniques may be quite unfamiliar to them. For this reason, the Tenant Rep will either attend or touch in with a workplace strategy team or any other consultants (like the space planner) who may be engaged to do this work and find out how the work is being undertaken and what it is yielding.
A space needs analysis is best done by first understanding the process flow of the company, however, the results are not solely based on the spaces from the existing spaces in the workplace because sometimes needed spaces may be redundant or non-existent in the existing workplace. Always refer to the clients and stakeholders and check if they have some extra requirements in mind for their future workplace.
