While the world adjusted to a pandemic lifestyle and the changes that followed, many companies were left considering decommissions, business relocation, or even closing up shop for good. While most businesses plan to one day return to the office, the landscape of an office setting will likely look much different than before. 

If your business is downsizing, or simply relocating to another spot, you’ll want to get the job done correctly right off the bat. This means space planning.

Space Planning Services 

What is space planning anyway? Space planning teams are skilled in assessing the way employees circulate throughout an office or industrial space and make the most of the office layout to tend to the needs of the business. This can be done at both the construction phase or design phase and can vastly improve your team’s productivity, customer interactions, and storage needs.

Space planners can help make the most of your space while keeping organization and efficiency a top priority. Based on a client’s storage needs, space planning services also include recommendations for products and furniture pieces that reduce clutter and distractions.

Improving Workspaces in Light of COVID

Relocation teams are well-versed in the ins and outs of industrial, warehouse, and office layout needs. In order to maintain comfortable working conditions while adhering to social distancing guidelines, your relocation project manager can provide advice for the best layouts to keep your team performing efficiently and safely. 

This is doubly important for warehouse relocations since many pieces of equipment are dangerous and may require several hands to get the job done. If your space is compliant and safe, it will lead to more happy and efficient employees. 

Space planning plans include details of all the furniture, equipment, and hardware placement, which can be chosen through your project manager’s list of trusted vendors. 

Considering Accessibility in Your Space Plan 

In most industries, you’ll want to ensure your space is optimized for differently abled clients and employees. Part of having a seamless work environment means considering a plan to offer as much freedom and convenience as possible to these team members or customers. 

Shared office spaces like kitchens, common rooms, bathrooms, and more need to be accessible by everyone. Everything from personal office items to outlets need to be considered – and in light of COVID, it’s important that things can be accessed at a distance from other team members.
