Distinguish supply from suitability
Identify what is completed, available and usable by the intended occupier. Do not count a proposed project as a current alternative to a ready office. Check when each unit could realistically become operational.
Compare the work required
Review services, access, layout and landlord requirements alongside rent. Obtain written information where a feature is essential to the business. The purpose is to find workable premises, not to infer suitability from the number of buildings being developed.
