Legal guidelines for floor space

It is important to observe all legal regulations. In order to ensure safe and efficient work quality for employees, health guidelines and safety precautions, such as room size, are a top priority.

It must be checked that air exchange and workplace size requirements for employees are being met.
According to workplace guidelines, a room volume of 20 cubic meters should be planned for an employee who performs sedentary or light physical work, provided that the office rooms have openable windowsthe windows and ventilation of an office space are an important legal issue in this regard. Furthermore, possible customer contact must also be taken into account, which requires at least ten cubic meters per customer for every hour of operation. The space requirements also depend on the number of communal, server, meeting, or storage rooms. The safety guidelines are very strict and must be checked depending on the property and type of industry.


equipment
Similarly, there are also equipment features that should be taken into account. These include, for example, parking facilities for employees and customers, sanitary facilities, shower facilities for employees, special equipment, telephone and IT connections, and electrical installations. In addition, aspects such as lighting, acoustics, furnishings, and the architecture of the office space are becoming increasingly important.


appearance
First impressions count! Your property must suit you and underline your image. Should it be modern, eye-catching, classic, or timeless? Whether in the advertising industry, the medical sector, or the catering industry, an inviting and harmonious overall appearance is essential. Identify with your property, because it plays an equally important role as your business card! Not only for your customers, but especially for your employees and future employees.


location
When choosing a location, it is important to ensure that the property has good transport links for employees and customers via public transport and the road network. Good infrastructure for basic amenities for employees' breaks and customer services should also be taken into account. The future environment should also be checked in advance to see whether there will be any possible disruptions due to construction sites.
