Why a Space Health Check Could Save You Thousands

Opening a new office is a major undertaking. Long before the budgets, deadlines, and furniture deliveries, there are countless decisions to make.

But here’s a question that often gets skipped: Is your space actually ready for work?

At Sequence Studio, we specialize in helping organizations launch smart, functional workspaces. And the best way to do that? A Space Health Check.

What Is a Space Health Check?

Think of it like a building inspection,  but for how your people and processes actually use the space.

No matter your industry or office type, a Space Health Check ensures your environment supports your goals, streamlines your workflows, and scales with your growth.

6 Things to Check Before Move-In

Here are six critical questions we walk through in every Sequence Signature Space Health Check:

1. Is the Layout Right-Sized?

We analyze your square footage, team structure, and workstyle needs to ensure the floorplan supports heads-down work, meetings, and collaboration—without wasted space.

2. Does It Reflect Your Brand?

From signage to color palette to client-facing areas, your space should visually and experientially reinforce your identity. We help align the physical space with your mission.

3. Is FF&E Really Ready?

We review furnishings, finishes, and equipment to make sure everything’s functional, coordinated, and delivered on time. This prevents costly change orders and delays.

4. Will It Work for How You Work?

We evaluate workflow compatibility: Are the right teams near each other? Are there friction points in circulation or shared areas? We identify red flags before they slow you down.

5. Are Tech & Transition Plans In Place?

We assess AV, signage, IT, and move coordination to make sure nothing gets overlooked. Our goal is a seamless transition from old space to new.

6. Can It Scale With You?

We all know changes are always out on the horizon. Your space needs to flex as your team grows, contracts, or changes work models. We flag layout or system issues that could limit your adaptability down the road.

Why This Matters

Once you're moved in, changes are expensive and disruptive.  A Space Health Check ensures you're making informed, intentional decisions, before those issues become your team’s daily headache.

We’ve helped clients create workspaces that are functional, flexible, and built to adapt. So let’s launch smarter. Whether you're opening, relocating, or rethinking your space—we’re here to make sure it works as hard as you do.
