Consultancy and briefing

We can help you make better use of any space. Whether your organisation is relocating, building or simply redesigning the space you are currently in, we can help you to identify the space requirements which will support organisational change.

We’ll work with you to articulate your organisation’s vision and translate it into building requirements, a design briefing or strategic plan.

Space management and strategic planning

Our workplace consultancy and briefing services are broad and flexible. We can help you rework a tight space to accommodate all its users, or design the most suitable and sustainable, workplace design for an underused or empty space.

Our design briefings and strategic plans can help organisations:

• introduce flexible workplaces
• create interaction and collaboration spaces
• create learning spaces for educational excellence
• create user-friendly office environments
• resolve conflicting needs 

We also conduct post-occupancy evaluations of how new buildings are performing and advise on how these might be improved.

Sustainable workplace consultancy

 
AMA Alexi Marmot Associates, is a niche workplace consulting practice. For more than 20 years we’ve helped organisations make better use of their buildings by using space more efficiently.
 
Our aim is to enhance the activities of the organisations and people who use them. We primarily provide our clients in the private, public and education sectors with informed independent advice on:
 
·       current and future space requirements

·       ideal buildings and locations, allowing for socio-demographics and sustainability

·       an appropriate and sustainable (workplace) strategy for maximising space and performance

·       presenting the business case for a proposed move or refurbishment

·       enhancing layouts, designs and workplace strategies

·       implementing successful change, particularly new ways of working or learning
 
We also conduct research and publish guidance on behalf of professional organisations, the UK Government and educational bodies.

Flexible workplaces

For many organisations, the development of fast, affordable information and communications technology has liberated their people to work more flexibly. AMA has shown companies how to distinguish those groups that will find flexible working most appropriate and to decide the amount of space, the type of storage, and the places for interaction that all staff, including mobile and ‘nomadic’ individuals, will need at the office.

Flexible working has been smoothly introduced for many organisations on the basis of the evidence collected through AMA WorkWare.

We can also assist your organisation introduce new ways of working. Find out more in Change Management.
