Program Data Analyses

In order to illustrate the space program data, it is helpful to use the charting tools from Excel to illustrate the program summary and the space statistics. It would be easier to visualize the results in a graphic form and identify any discrepancies that might occurs on the data generated. The space statistics will help the programmer to later on make meaningful recommendations on planning directions.

Based on the complexity of the company, the types and number of charts may vary. Shown below are some of the commonly used charts.

Total company personnel projections

Comparative departmental personnel projections

Total company square footage projection

Comparative departmental square footage projection

Comparative analysis between types of spaces - Private, Semi-private and Open

Comparative analysis between usage of spaces - Personnel and group square footage

Expansion space analysis

Building distribution analysis

Total Company Personnel Projection
This chart illustrates the number of employees required in the company at move-in and future. Usually, the historical data will be used to forecast future growth.

Departmental Personnel Projections
This chart combines the personnel projections of all the organizational units and compare which units will grow faster than the others and which ones will remain stable.

Total Company Square Footage Projection
This chart illustrates the total square footage requirements for move in and future.

Departmental Square Footage Projections
This chart combines the square footage projections of all the organizational units and illustrate which unit consume larger space than the other units, which unit will grow the fastest and which ones will remain stable.

Comparative Analysis Between Types of Spaces - Private, Semi-private and Open
This chart illustrates the ratios between private, semi-private and open spaces through out the company. It enable the programmer to later on make planning recommendations on whether is feasible to use traditional office planning or open office planning.

Comparative Analysis Between Usage of Spaces - Personnel or Group
This chart illustrates the ratios between personnel and group spaces. It is useful to identify whether the company has a large quantity of technical or spaces that requires special constructions. This allow the programmer to predict how flexible the space will be.

Building Efficiency Analysis
This is a pie chart that illustrate how space are utitlized in the building, the percentiles used for the core and technical facilities, external circulations, common use areas, and how much space are net usable that can be assigned to the company. If we are to compare different sites for the new company, this will be useful in identifying cost savings by selecting buildings that are more efficient.

Building Utilization Analysis
This chart illustrates how the building is utilized and the amount of space is left for expansion and whether the building is adequate to meet 10 year's expansion need. It is obvious from the example below that the building provides adequate space for 5 years but will be deficient by 10 years.
