Find a place to fit function, future growth   

Aesthetics City Space

The essential first step in deciding on an office and then on a fit-out is to know just how big a space you need, says Robert Bowles, managing director at CBD Projects. A good guide is to allow about nine to 10 sq m per person.

"Also, allow for future expansion because if you are signing up for a five-year or an eight-year lease, you don't want to be signing up to something which perfectly fits the number of people in your first year," he says.

"Most companies would look at a 30 per cent increase in requirement over five years."
