SpaceWorx was formed to provide an interface between clients and their professional consulting teams. Rudd’s experience as Group Architect in First National Bank (as a client) made it obvious that there was a wide gap between what the Professional Consultants thought was needed and what the Business was saying. Buildings were also being constructed without the ever present needs of change in mind!
For most clients occupying new premises or constructing a building, it is a highly irregular occurrence and whatever is learnt in one cycle is forgotten or the people have moved on, by the next. This loss of skills and abilities is not always covered by the Facilities Manager as he or she is often not trained or adequately skilled to be able to properly communicate with professional consultants.
Businesses need a way to prepare for a project and reduce the risk associated with problems in the design, construction and fit out. Building briefing significantly reduces the development risk for all clients, developers and the professional team. The expertise of SpaceWorx is built on many projects and experience as both client and consultant. This feedback loop informs each project.
Relocation is a great expense for a business and also a huge opportunity. To quote Sir Winston Churchill “We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us”. This opportunity is not one to be missed!
Housing a business is no longer simply the provision of office space. Leading businesses now provide many facetted support spaces that allow a business to out-perform its competitors, retain skilled staff or successfully deal with changing market conditions.
SpaceWorx has studied these trends and initiatives and has an impressive record of successful projects where the projections and analysis has resulted in flexible and adaptable buildings that are valuable assets in any portfolio.
