I've posted this one before (so please forgive me for the repetition). For desks per square feet and cost of space, I use the following formula:
Break even model: (Cost of space x 1.5 = total cost of space) / (number of square feet / 100 = number of desks) = Cost per desk Profitable model: (Cost of space x 3 = cost of space and then some) / (number of square feet / 100 = number of desks) = Cost per desk Tara On Fri, Jan 29, 2010 at 9:55 AM, MaxBuck <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, everyone. > > I have a bit different approach, perhaps, to co-working than many > here; I'm looking at building space aimed primarily at professional > service providers (engineers, architects, attorneys, accountants, > etc.), and look to have a build-out that is more conducive to client > meetings appropriate to these profesionals.
