How much Office space do you really need ?
There are many variables in determining the size and configuration of your office space. Based on the the most typical uses, a set of guidelines can be established. On average, 175 to 250 usable square feet per person of office space can be used as a rule of thumb. Again, this can vary depending on the size and style of business as well as any special needs that might have to be considered.
