Tenant test fits

Whether a tenant is looking to relocate, expand or contract within a new or existing office space, we can help test a building or floorplate against the requirements of a specific tenant brief and advise how well it supports them.

Our tenant test fit plans support a building search or a stay V go exercise. Whether it is based on a detailed strategic brief or a short briefing meeting, we test the potential relocation options from single floors to whole buildings.

What to expect from our tenant test fits

  • Independent & honest advise

  • We keep the tenants best interests at heart

  • We will challenge the tenant brief if we feel it is unbalanced

  • Plans that allow breathing space for the next stages of design

  • Rational, step by step strategic decisions rather than multiple AI outcomes

  • Understanding of modern office design and the built environment

  • Identified opportunities & challenges in the building architecture

For:
Tenants, Agents & Project Managers

Process:
A tenant test fit project starts with a consultation with the tenant, agent or PM to understand the brief and the business strategy. Together we agree the building and floors to be test fitted. A building review is carried out for each potential property detailing items that may influence the test fit - site context, views, communal amenities, future surrounding developments etc.

Before drawing begins, building stacks and block plan options are created to review the many ways that client spaces, workspaces & amenity spaces can be located. Once the preferred building stack or block plan is agreed the detailed test fit plans are created. The plans aim to capture the itemised tenant brief as closely as possible whilst also being mindful of best practice planning & modern workplace trends. The final plans are colour coded to be read along side the itemised brief. Site visits are carried out when appropriate.

Output:
A tenant test fit report contains the agreed itemised tenant brief, building information, detailed 2D plans (both colour coded and black & white), occupancy calculations, furniture quantities and commentary on the success of the test fit. The report and plans are shared with the client for comment and one set of revisions can be made based on the agreed building stack / block plan.

Fees:
Small plans (<15,000sqft) £1,050
Medium plans (<25,000sqft) £1,400
Large plans (<35,000sqft) £1,750

All fees are subject to VAT. The fee for the plans includes one set of revisions following client feedback. Further revisions to the plans incur additional fees. Alternative layouts can be produced for various building stack and block plan options for additional fees.
