Moving or renovating gives the opportunity to improve the way people work. So, plan to spend some time to assess how people currently work in the office. What do they need/want/beg for, that will make them more effective and more comfortable? Keep in mind that how you work does not only define your productivity, but it also defines your brand, who you are in the corporate world. The following are few tips that might help to plan your better world:

• Take a moment to think about how your space will need to function;
• Forecast your growth, will employees be added in the near future?
• Account for team settings such as a kitchen, meeting rooms and lounge;
• Talk about existing space issues with employees and correct them for the future;
• What culture do you want to convey with your space?
• What safety codes should you consider?
• Confirm electrical/communication requirements;
• Define zones (meeting, collaborating, individuals, kitchen) and review them with employees.
• Update your budget.
