What Is Space Planning?
Space planning is the process of organising the available area to make the best practical use of the space.
A good space plan considers factors such as:
- Available floor area
- Room dimensions
- Furniture
- Equipment
- Workstations
- Circulation and access
- Doors and windows
- Storage
- Functional requirements
- Existing building layouts
CAD-based space planning makes it easier to visualise different layout options and make changes before work begins.
Our Space Planning Services
Office Space Planning
We create CAD-based office layouts showing workstations, desks, meeting areas, reception areas, storage and other important elements.
Office space plans can help businesses evaluate different layouts when moving offices, refurbishing existing premises or reorganising their workplace.
Commercial Space Planning
We can prepare space plans for a variety of commercial environments.
These may include:
- Offices
- Retail units
- Showrooms
- Restaurants
- Clinics
- Warehouses
- Commercial buildings
- Service businesses
We can work from existing architectural drawings, measurements, sketches or other reference information.
Furniture Layouts
Furniture placement is an important part of effective space planning.
We can create CAD furniture layouts showing desks, chairs, tables, cabinets, storage units and other furniture according to your requirements.
Room Layouts
We can produce individual room layouts or complete floor plans showing how different areas can be arranged.
This can be useful for offices, residential properties, commercial premises and refurbishment projects.
Workspace Planning
For businesses looking to improve the use of their available workspace, we can prepare layouts showing different workstation and furniture configurations.
Multiple layout options can be produced where required, allowing you to compare different ways of using the available area.
Existing Space Plans
If you already have a floor plan but need it updated, cleaned up or converted into an editable CAD drawing, we can help.
We can work with:
- PDF floor plans
- Scanned drawings
- Existing CAD files
- Images
- Sketches
- Measurements
Space Planning Using CAD
Using CAD for space planning provides a flexible way to develop and modify layouts.
Objects such as walls, furniture, workstations and equipment can be positioned accurately and changed as the project develops.
CAD drawings can also be used as a starting point for further design and documentation work.
From Existing Drawings to a Professional Space Plan
You don’t necessarily need to have an existing CAD file.
We can work from a range of source information, including PDF drawings, sketches, scanned plans and measurements.
Our process can include:
- Reviewing the information supplied
- Creating or updating the base floor plan
- Adding furniture, equipment or other requirements
- Developing the proposed layout
- Making revisions based on your feedback
- Delivering the completed CAD drawing
