Planning a New Office

Start with your team size

How headcount shapes workspace type, meeting support and expansion considerations.

4 min readUpdated 15 Jul 2026

Headcount is a useful starting point for workspace type, meeting support and expansion planning. It is not the whole brief — but it quickly narrows sensible options.

1–5 people

Private offices or shared workspace often work well. Balance focus, cost and room to grow without over-committing to a large suite.

6–15 people

Flexible offices with meeting support and reception are often suitable. Check that shared facilities match how often you host clients and internal sessions.

16–50 people

Compare serviced office versus managed solutions. Floorplate, expansion rights and service levels matter as much as the monthly fee.

50+ people

Consider expansion capacity and configuration flexibility alongside lease structure and landlord or operator support. Large teams often need a staged occupancy plan.
