A Clearer Way To Start

How to use the Office Space Calculator.

Use this Hong Kong office space calculator to create an early planning range before comparing properties, briefing a designer or discussing an office renovation. It takes a few practical inputs and turns them into a starting point for a better workplace conversation.

01

Define the team

Enter the people the workplace needs to support, then consider how many are normally present on a busy day. Use the busiest regular day rather than an exceptional event.

02

Describe how people work

Select the working pattern that best reflects your organisation and choose the priorities that matter most, such as focus, collaboration, clients or hybrid meetings.

03

Add rooms and support

Include private rooms, meeting demand and practical support spaces such as reception, pantry, phone booths, storage and IT infrastructure.

04

Compare the result

Review the efficient, balanced and generous scenarios. Compare the space range, allocation and trade-offs before deciding what to test with a real floor plate.

What The Result Includes

A useful planning conversation.

The report shows an estimated range in sq ft and sq m, workpoints, busy-day attendance, space allocation, assumptions, scenario trade-offs and questions to discuss with MJPM.

Important Limitations

Reference only, not a final answer.

The algorithm cannot see the actual floor plate, columns, windows, cores, landlord rules, fire services, accessibility, building systems, lease terms or your team’s detailed adjacencies. Accuracy is not guaranteed.

Common Questions

Is this a final floor plan or quotation?

No. It is an automatically generated early planning estimate for reference only. MJPM examines every client’s needs case by case before recommending a suitable solution.

What should I do after getting a result?

Use the range to compare possible properties and start a conversation about team needs, programme, budget and delivery requirements. The next step is to test the assumptions against the shortlisted property.

Can MJPM help with the next stage?

Yes. MJPM can review the result and develop a more suitable workplace planning, design and delivery approach around your actual requirements.
