Space Utilisation

Space and Room Utilisation Surveys

Space utilisation or sometimes known as Room Utilisation, is a measure of whether and how space is being used.

Space utilisation is a strategically important space management measure and a crucial tool in successful Asset Management.

Poor space utilisation or poor building layouts in a single building or across a portfolio of buildings, can lead to disjointed team working or higher than necessary property rental costs.

NIFES empirical surveys and advanced planning processes can optimise your space and assets using our space utilisation surveys.

Our space experts can design, plan and implement your building and room layouts, using specialist software.
