Occupiers
Ten questions before an office site visit
A practical checklist for occupiers comparing premium office space.
Site visits are most productive when the basics are clarified in advance. These are the questions we ask on behalf of occupiers.
- What is the leasable area, and what is the carpet area?
- What condition is the space delivered in — bare shell, warm shell or fitted?
- What is the parking allocation?
- What power back-up is provided, and to what load?
- Are there restrictions on permitted use?
- What are the building's operating hours and access arrangements?
- Is signage possible, and subject to which approvals?
- How are common area charges determined?
- What expansion options exist in the building?
- When could fit-out realistically begin?
