Why Fit Planning is Essential

Relocating or expanding without a strategic plan can lead to significant challenges. Industry insights reveal that 70% of businesses face unexpected costs during relocation due to inadequate space planning, while 40% encounter compliance issues resulting in fines or delays (Source: Commercial Real Estate Insights, 2022; National Business Compliance Report, 2023).

Avoid Costly Errors with Strategic Planning

Investing in Fit Planning safeguards your business against common relocation pitfalls. Research shows that inefficient space utilization can reduce productivity by up to 30%, while unexpected renovations can increase budgets by 20-50% (Source: Workspace Efficiency Study, 2021; Commercial Renovation Trends, 2023).

Ensure Your Commercial Space Drives Business Success

Fit Planning is a preliminary assessment that evaluates a potential property’s suitability for your business, including workflow efficiency, regulatory compliance, and scalability. It’s a critical step before committing to full space planning.

At Pasley Commercial Interiors, we understand the critical role interior design plays in achieving your business goals. Our Fit Planning service ensures your space is functional, compliant, and tailored to support your growth. Here is our step-by-step process:

Can we use the Commercial Fit Plan for construction?

No. Unfortunately not. The fit plan is a rough estimate and assessment based on "usual and customary" guidelines for space usage and what is known in the provided plans and the initial consultation. They are not intended to be used for any construction decisions or actions to implement a design plan.
