Sixteen pages on what the workplace now has to earn, what the evidence actually says, and
what a room worth the journey costs to build.
What is inside
The evidenceWhat the current workplace research from Gensler, Leesman and Gallup does and does not establish, with every figure sourced.
The cost benchmarkWhat an office fit-out costs per square metre by region, so you can sanity check a quote against the global picture.
Where the money goesWhy builders' works and building services are the majority of the budget, and the least reversible decision in the building.
Four failure modesAttendance without purpose, amenity without coordination, investment without reversibility, measurement without outcome. Each with a test.
The five-question auditWhat earns the journey, and how to tell whether your own floor delivers it.
Methodology and sourcesEvery study, sample size and URL, with access dates. Nothing modelled or estimated.
