Generally, fee structuring is the process of estimating project costs for a project plan. It is good practice to start the fee structuring weeks before submitting the tender submission to the client.
Producing accurate yet economic estimating is a must for the Workplace Strategy team if they are going to compete in the market. Both over and under estimating can be dangerous. Over-estimating a tender submission can knock the tendering party out of the running as the client may be suspicious of why the tender submission is so much higher than the other proponents, whereas under-estimating can be just as dangerous to the Workplace Strategy business as they will suffer financial losses, but this can be dangerous to the client business also as the service provided to them may be watered down to mitigate against financial loss to the supplier.

Be proactive when thinking about real estate, even in the distant future. It’s challenging to find the right space, and teaming up with a good, experienced team of consultants is necessary to make a good decision in time.
Tenant Representatives need to capture as much detail as they can before they commence premises sourcing for their client. Their expertise is undoubtedly transactional and is solid across many facets of the commercial real estate realm, however dependent upon their exposure to larger clients and projects, workplace strategy and space planning techniques may be quite unfamiliar to them. For this reason, the Tenant Rep will either attend or touch in with a workplace strategy team or any other consultants (like the space planner) who may be engaged to do this work and find out how the work is being undertaken and what it is yielding.
A space needs analysis is best done by first understanding the process flow of the company, however, the results are not solely based on the spaces from the existing spaces in the workplace because sometimes needed spaces may be redundant or non-existent in the existing workplace. Always refer to the clients and stakeholders and check if they have some extra requirements in mind for their future workplace.
In this course, you will gain an understanding of how the discovery activities take place and what inputs should contribute to the client brief.
