Who we work with
Office space planning
CADS office space planners have particular expertise in creating and managing office plans that maximise space and workflow for clients. If you are looking to address capacity issues while creating a cost-effective and efficient working environment, our experienced office space planning team provides the resource you need.
Our measured building surveyors can also provide accurate NIA and GIA measurement data, enabling property professionals and landlords to optimise thier property utilisation.
We can create a CAD drawing with a proposed office layout scheme from a sketch with a few dimensions. However, if you want a more flexible record for use in the future we can provide a measured building or laser survey and model as the basis for the plans.
