- How does the office space calculator work?
- It multiplies the room length and width to establish gross area, applies the selected planning circulation allowance, and divides the remaining area by the preset’s indicative area per workstation or learner.
- Which planning preset should I choose?
- Choose Open workspace for shared benching, Focused workstations where each user needs more personal territory, or Training space for learning and presentation layouts. Start broad, then refine with a site plan.
- Is this a compliance calculation?
- No. The tool supports early workspace planning only. A final layout must be verified against the applicable building, fire, accessibility, and local approval requirements for the actual site.
- What should happen after the estimate?
- Use the result to frame a planning brief, then move into a measured layout and furniture specification with the project team before procurement or construction decisions are made.
