Discovery & Consultation
The first step in any journey with Spacio involves us getting to know your company, its values, and its unique requirements, as well as your project needs and ambitions.
Our process is designed to understand your ambitions and understand any potential obstacles or limitations with your new or existing space. From the outset we identify the operational needs of your project by working with your key stakeholders to gather the drivers and information needed to develop a project brief that fully outlines your goals for the project.
Brief Extraction
Once we fully understand your requirements and the scope of your vision, we begin developing a detailed project brief that factors in potential timelines, your communication needs and sign off priorities.
We take the pressure off by documenting who needs to be involved and at what stages so you can rest assured that will be guided and supported throughout the process.
Workshops

The benefits of involving your team and colleagues are numerous. Your people are a key part of any workplace design and build project so a workshop can be a great way to get everyone involved and excited about your new space.
Space Planning
Space planning is the process of organizing the physical space and functional aspects of your working environment. It is a critical part of the design process, as it can have a significant impact on the functionality, efficiency, the overall aesthetic, as well as how people move around within your new space.
We explore ways of enhancing collaboration, maximizing operational efficiency as well as considering where equipment needs to be or where your kitchen and toilets need to be plumbed in.
