Approach

Workplace Consultant & Project Manager Perth

At Work Future, we believe strongly that successful workplace transformations begin and end with people. While conventional approaches often prioritise the design and the physical space, our experience shows that a human-centric approach delivers superior outcomes for organisations and their people.

By promoting early employee engagement and ensuring every design decision is viewed through a people-focused lens, we bring your entire workforce along the journey. Whether they're employees, contractors, customers, or visitors, their buy-in isn't just beneficial – it's the critical difference between a costly mistake and an enduring legacy.

Our distinctive operating model further sets us apart (think of it as Early Contractor Involvement (ECI) but Early Consultant Involvement instead). Refined over 15+ years of workplace transformation experience. Unlike traditional external consultants, we function as your dedicated in-house workplace partner, embedding ourselves within your organisation. This unique positioning allows us to authentically represent your vision, requirements, and corporate identity when coordinating with the diverse array of external specialists needed for a workplace project.

Work Future serves as a protective shield against the many project pitfalls – preventing costly rework, budget overruns, scope creep, and employee dissatisfaction. We've developed a comprehensive framework that delivers both commercial and employee value through:

Deep real estate and workplace transformation expertise.
Rigorous transformation project management and governance.
Advanced people, culture, and change management capabilities.
Evidence-based workplace strategy, driven by robust data analytics.
Cutting-edge workplace technology and digital solutions.

Workplace tools built from experience

Work Future has developed a number of practical tools to support your workplace planning decisions.

These tools are proprietary and developed in house, rather than white labelled, which means they have been tried and tested with Work Future clients and proven to work and add value.

Work Calc

Do these questions resonate with your experience and workplace challenges?

More people than desks?
Running out of space?
Planning for growth?
Too much space after a restructure?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need Work Calc. An office space calculator that lets you test scenarios such as adopting desk sharing or taking more space. It will even provide the high level fit out costs for your specific city.

Work Move

Refurbishing a building?
Renovating a floor?
Need to move staff out, but not sure where they go or in what order?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you need Work Move. An office decant planning tool to work out how to relocate your people out of impacted spaces during building works. It automatically generates a clear, phased move plan, showing swing (temporary) space, final destinations, sequencing and the number of moves involved.

Work Stack

Planning an office restack or allocating teams to floors in a newly refurbished space?

If you answered yes, then you need Work Stack. Work Stack is a block and stack workplace planning tool for fast, visual scenario planning, perfect when doing an office restack. Work out the most efficient team locations, test growth and relocation options quickly, and produce outputs that are clear enough for executive decisions.

Work Occupancy

Not sure how many people are actually coming into the office?

If you answered yes, then you need Work Future’s bespoke proprietary system for analysing occupancy data that guarantees the insights you need to support your projects, business cases, and activity based working implementations.

Work Sprints

Can we get answers to these workplace problems fast?

If you need answers fast, then you need Work Sprints. Work Sprints cut through the complexity quickly. In one focused week, Work Future comes in, defines the problem, reviews the available data, asks the right questions, tests the practical options and gives you a clear decision path. One workplace problem. One sprint. One week.

Our expertise is key to your success

Whether you're in the early stages of considering a workplace transformation or already navigating the process, our expertise is key to your success.

Frequently asked questions

What does a workplace consultant do?

A workplace consultant helps an organisation work out what workplace it needs and then get it delivered. That covers workplace strategy, occupancy analysis, briefing, design review, project management, change management, relocation and workplace technology. Work Future provides both the workplace consultant and the workplace project manager role, acting as your dedicated in-house workplace partner rather than another external supplier.

What is Early Consultant Involvement?

It is Work Future's operating model, adapted from construction's Early Contractor Involvement (ECI). It means engaging your workplace consultant before the major commitments are made, so their experience shapes the decisions rather than just delivering them. The earlier the involvement, the more options remain open.

Who does Work Future work for?

The occupier. Work Future holds no landlord retainers and takes no margin on furniture, fit out or relocations. Any supplier relationship is disclosed and based on genuine capability.

When should we engage Work Future?

As early as possible. The moment a lease expiry, growth squeeze or new ways of working question lands on the leadership agenda. If decisions have already been made we can still help, but early involvement is where the most value sits.

Do you work outside Perth?

Perth and Western Australia are home, but Work Future has delivered workplace projects across Australia and internationally, including Sydney and London. The discipline travels.
