More meeting rooms, rarely the right ones.
Extra meeting rooms are among the most common requests in an office brief and often the most expensive way to solve the wrong problem.
The pattern repeats across offices. Meeting rooms sit empty for much of the day, while an eight-seat room gets booked by one person just to take a call somewhere quiet.
It looks like a shortage. It is usually a mismatch. Large rooms suit the occasional full-team meeting; the working day runs on smaller moments a quick call, an hour of focus, a two-person conversation that rarely have a place of their own. Adding rooms does little to close that gap, because the gap was never about quantity.
What a team actually needs tends to be written into how it already works visible well before a new plan is drawn, for anyone looking in the right place. It rarely matches the assumption the brief began with.
The floor plan shows how many rooms there are. How they are used shows whether they are the right ones.
