Workplace Advisory
Before we recommend a single tool, our advisory team defines the strategy, checks system readiness, and designs the data architecture your workplace needs to scale.
Advisory first
Workplaces now change faster than the buildings they sit in. Advisory keeps your offices ready for what comes next.
What that gives you
Spaces are increasingly defined by software, so buildings stay responsive to how people work, new technology, and future requirements.
Buildings that adapt to changing functions keep tenants satisfied, run more efficiently, and protect asset value over time.
Every application and integration we deploy has to map to a real business objective. So we do the groundwork first.
Define objectives, set success metrics, and map your current state against the outcomes you want.
Evaluate your existing infrastructure and integrations to find the gaps before deployment begins.
Design a unified technology and data model that connects your systems for real-time decisions.
New headquarters, a renovation, or a relocation, we integrate technology and data from day one. Here is how the work runs from first concept to final handover.
Use-case workshops with your stakeholders, plus a technology and software design narrative.
Technical specifications for every construction document, with peer reviews and integration diagrams.
Support on RFPs for the general contractor and architect, bid interviews, and contract review.
Technology architecture designs, integration management, and operational design documents.
Commissioning of user flows, software, data, and AI, with a complete, documented handover.
A fast-growing hedge fund owns and operates some buildings and leases others. They wanted one framework that positions the company for connected, smart workplaces across every site.

Enterprise workplace and corporate real estate teams: heads of workplace, VPs of real estate operations, and CRE leaders managing multi-site portfolios. Owners, occupiers, and tenants all fit.
It starts with portfolio strategy, system readiness, and data architecture, then extends into support across the project lifecycle: concept, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. We scope each engagement to the decisions you need to make.
A vendor sells you a product. Advisory owns the outcome. We define the strategy first, stay vendor-agnostic, and act as your representative across every technology decision, so the tools you buy actually fit the plan.
As early as possible. Engaging before you select technology avoids the rework and change orders that come from buying tools before the strategy is set. We support new offices, renovations, and relocations from day one.
It depends on scope. A focused strategy and readiness assessment runs a few weeks. Full lifecycle support for a new build or relocation spans the project, from concept through commissioning.
Concept, design, procurement, construction, and commissioning. We run use-case workshops, write technical specs, support RFPs, manage integrations, and commission the final handover.
No, but it helps. A SpacePulse study gives you validated utilization data in about four weeks, which becomes the evidence base for the strategy and roadmap advisory builds around.
Yes. Many clients keep us on retainer to manage security standards, vendors, and analytics frameworks across regions as the portfolio grows.
