OFFICE SPACE - How many sqm?

[TimFairweather]

Hi there entrepreneurs,

I'd love some ideas on office space requirements for my new office. We will need space for at least 6 people on a regular basis and 10 people in the next 6 months.

Currently Bare Figures Bookkeeping is moving to a new office and I'm not sure how much room each person needs to keep sane?

Has anyone found a good rule of thumb to work out how much office space per person? As a bookkeeping business we have files, computers, photocopiers, faxes, etc.

Any suggestions?

I think the rule of thumb is 4 sqm pp, but you might want to track down one of the FS architects here as they do this stuff in their sleep.
