Use your actual occupancy, furniture inventory and operational requirements to decide whether a move or a reconfiguration fits the business. An old forecast or an unsourced industry percentage is not a plan for your office.
Measure the need before changing the space
Record peak attendance, desk and meeting-room demand, storage, access and operational constraints. Ask department leads what is changing and which services must remain available. Compare retaining the layout, reconfiguring furniture and relocating against those requirements.
Check the furniture and layout
Inventory the furniture you own, its condition and which components can be reused. Confirm model-specific handling and assembly instructions with the manufacturer. Refer to the OSHA computer workstation eTool when the responsible workplace lead reviews workstation arrangement.
Budget for the whole transition
Compare written scopes for the alternatives, including building access, packing, disassembly, transport, installation, removal and other responsible vendors. Ask the building or your adviser to clarify the lease dates and handback requirements. Keep schedule assumptions explicit rather than relying on a market-wide savings claim.
Protect business continuity
Your IT owner should identify system dependencies, tested recovery and acceptance criteria for either option. Use the NIST contingency planning guide to support that work. Choose the option and sequence that the responsible owners can validate for your operation.
