Don't Let Wasted Space Hurt Your Productivity

Maximising the functionality and efficiency of your building’s interior space is crucial for both productivity and comfort. Poor space planning can lead to overcrowded areas, inefficient use of resources, and even health and safety risks. Whether you’re reconfiguring an office, refurbishing a commercial space, or adapting a building for a new purpose, effective space planning ensures that every square foot is used efficiently and that the environment supports the needs of its occupants. Without a strategic approach, you risk creating spaces that are impractical and uncomfortable for day-to-day operations.

At RAM, we approach space planning with a focus on both functionality and aesthetics, ensuring that your interior layout not only works efficiently but also creates an environment that enhances productivity and well-being. Our team collaborates closely with you to understand your specific needs and develop solutions that align with your business objectives.

Space Planning Support for Schools

We specialise in helping schools optimise their space to meet capacity requirements and create effective learning environments.

Our space planning services ensure that your school's net area meets DfE recommendations and supports student needs. We ensure the space within the school building flows well, does not lead to disruption in education and meets the relevant standards for school type and student age groups.

We assess and optimise key spaces, including:

• Teaching Areas – General and specialised classrooms (ICT, Science, etc.)
• Large Spaces – Dining halls, sports halls
• Learning Resource Areas – Libraries, study zones
• Staff & Administrative Areas – Offices, meeting rooms
• Storage – Ensuring efficient use of available space

If your school needs expert guidance on space planning, book a consultation with us. For details on government funding opportunities in the education sector, visit our Financial Support page.
