Workplace appraisal
Our workplace appraisal report:
shows you exactly the number of square feet you really need
analyses your particular needs: storage, breakout areas, meeting rooms, audio-visual, air-conditioning, IT, kitchens, etc.
allows you to compare and contrast your potential new office spaces
is cost-effective and quick to perform
"The workplace appraisal report gave us a clear, concrete picture of how much space we needed for our new office. It was well written, and full of surprising insights. I'm so glad we didn’t plunge in without one. We would have ended up spending considerably more."
How it works
The appraisal is carried out by our own in-house team of specialists. They set out to address four major issues:
Space requirements - How much space and storage do you need? How can you maximise communication between departments? How will you house your IT equipment?
Comparitive fit-out costs - What will each building cost to fit-out? Which will cost less to run over time?
Future growth - Do you have enough space to leave room for growth? Will it scale up or scale down? Is it flexible enough?
Refurbishment vs. relocation. Should you stay or should you go? Could you make more of the space you've already got?
The written report
Getting it right is a precise science. Once we've analysed the results, you'll also get a clear, detailed report, including:
Preliminary space plans - how can you make best use of your space?
Estimated costs - what will it cost to design and fit out?
Site assessments - how do potential locations compare? What'll cost you more in the long run?
Online staff surveys - what really matters most to you and your staff?
Project plans - how long will it all take?
Presented in person
When your report is ready, we'll come and present it in person. It's the ideal opportunity for your project teams and stakeholders to ask us any questions or raise their concerns.
Long-term savings
Just 1,000 square feet of unused space could add four million AED to your ten year lease. But take on too little, and another expensive relocation might be just a couple of years away.

What you see is what you get
Our design team work in close collaboration with our builders, surveyors and mechanical & electrical experts to make sure the design you approve is the design you get. No substitutions or nasty surprises.
Design and build
When you work with multiple contractors, details start to get lost. Because we're all one team, we can make sure that doesn't happen. Plus, our specialists can work on different stages of the process at the same time. That means less 'down' time, and less money spent.
