The working brief

An unfurnished office gives you more scope to shape the workplace, along with a larger delivery brief. Before choosing a floor, understand exactly what the landlord hands over and what your team must design, approve and install. The space and the fit-out plan need to be considered together.

01

Define the starting condition

The terms bare shell, warm shell and unfurnished can describe different handover conditions. Ask for a written scope covering floor finishes, ceilings, electrical provision, cooling, fire systems and toilets. Identify the points where the landlord’s work stops and the occupier’s work begins. A site inspection should test that description against the actual floor.

02

Build a realistic fit-out brief

Translate headcount and working patterns into a room and workstation schedule. Include circulation, accessibility, storage, technical rooms and future adaptation. Bring designers and appropriate technical advisers into the assessment early enough to review the floor plate. Structural constraints and service routes can influence a layout long before finishes are selected.

03

Connect delivery with the lease

Consider fit-out access, building rules, approval steps, contractor working hours and the condition expected at exit. Review the occupation budget with design, construction, furniture and systems included. Work backwards from the date the office must function. Confirm each dependency rather than assuming the rent commencement date and operational opening date will align.

Your next step

Make it
your brief.

Share your team size, desired layout, location, budget approach and opening window. Include any design already prepared and the delivery responsibilities your team expects Nextura to discuss.
