With today’s soaring costs for real property acquisition and maintenance, it can pay big dividends to improve control over your facility expenses through accurate space requirements analysis and utilization improvements. Before looking for more space to meet your organization’s needs you really need to know how effectively and efficiently you are using the space you have. Do you have enough? Do you have too much? Using our proven methodology, R&K can develop recommendations to better utilize your facilities to optimize the use of the organization's resources.  Our experienced field teams are uniquely qualified to evaluate your facility requirements and to provide the guidance necessary to realize maximum efficiencies and value from your space inventory.

Space utilization / Requirements analysis combines the evaluation of existing facilities with the projected staffing and appropriate guidelines for space use per employee to develop an overall understanding of the efficiency of the use of an organization's facilities. Actual facility requirements may vary significantly from allowances generated by guidelines. Space allowances are calculated based on an organization’s missions, staffing levels, and space utilization algorithms from applicable criteria. Requirements are determined for space that differs from allowances based on unique organization mission activities requiring facility support. These requirements are determined and validated through interviews, observations of operations, and through application of best business practices.
