ACTIVITY ANALYSIS

How many meeting spaces do we have? How many square feet is that? What is our ratio of collaboration to focus-work spaces? How do our meeting rooms and open spaces get

used throughout the day? By how many people, doing what activities? When does demand exceed availability?

THE NEED FOR NEW WORKPLACE STRATEGIES GROWS AS CHANGES IN THE WORKFORCE ACCELERATES.
Support space planning decisions with utilization data that shows “how many people doing which activities in what type of spaces.”

“Work styles” analysis starts with knowing statistically and specifically where employees get work done: at their desk, in meetings, or somewhere else.

Understanding (and showing) employee mobility offers opportunity for alternative workplace strategies.

WORKPLACE PERFORMANCE: A FAST START SOLUTION
Answer questions quickly. FacilityQuest is where you gather data about space: activity and utilization metrics, change management surveys, photos, IoT sensor feeds...

See data visually. Quickly find data layered on floor plans, on heat maps, one space at a time or aggregated across a department.

WHAT TO EXPECT
With no software for you to learn, FacilityQuest gathers floor plans and existing data from you.

We visually document the spaces you care about, layering it all on floor plans (and we’ll work with you to fill any gaps).

On a dashboard, you instantly see allocations of space, and can compare meeting spaces with focused work areas, for instance.

We set up your utilization studies or surveys, and manage every step of the process.

After data collection, we help you understand the heat maps and reports, and send you customized analysis that informs your decision-making.

ABOUT FACILITY QUEST

n 2010, founder Lowell Schneider built a SAAS solution based on the practices of architect John Duvivier to facilitate observer-based utilization surveys. This

solution evolved into FacilityQuest in 2011.

John Duvivier was then a Principal at the internationally-renown architecture firm Gensler, which has since completed hundreds of utilization projects worldwide. While

serving a growing list of evidence-driven clients, FacilityQuest has continued to partner with Gensler, helping it’s clients understand the utilization of their

facilities. We now offer a broad range of solutions to facilities managers and design professionals.
