Synopsis

Strategic facility planning, or even simple space planning, is critical to a company's effective use of its office space. However, businesses often lack the expertise to effectively plan their space, or to successfully engage the help of professionals. This guide offers advice on the design and planning of office space - from strategic facilities planning, through project organization and execution, to designing element support systems. It also provides advice on working with design professionals.
