Rule of Thumb

Headcount Planning Ranges

Workplace Style	Planning Range	Typical Use
Compact / high-density	70–90 sq ft per person	Sales teams, project teams, hybrid work
Typical corporate planning	90–120 sq ft per person	General corporate offices with meeting rooms
Spacious / client-facing	120–160+ sq ft per person	Professional services, executive offices, more meeting space

These are early-stage planning assumptions, not architectural standards. Your final requirement depends on desk-sharing ratio, meeting rooms, reception, pantry, storage, circulation and building floor efficiency.

Examples

Illustrative Space Requirements

20 staff

1,800–2,400 sq ft

Typical corporate planning at roughly 90–120 sq ft/person.

50 staff

4,500–6,000 sq ft

Before adding any unusual training, lab, storage or client facilities.

100 staff

9,000–12,000 sq ft

Consider full-floor efficiency and growth flexibility at this scale.
