Our strategic consultancy services build a clear, data-led picture of what your business needs, helping you make confident property and workplace decisions based on evidence rather than assumption. Whether you're planning a single workplace, navigating a lease event, or shaping a wider property portfolio, we provide the clarity needed to move forward with confidence.
Building the foundation for success
Clarity before commitment
We test the options — stay, relocate, consolidate or refurbish — against your business objectives, workforce needs and commercial priorities, ensuring major decisions are based on evidence rather than instinct.
A workplace aligned to your business
Through utilisation analysis and benchmarking, we right-size your footprint, avoiding the cost of over-committing and the constraint of under-providing for future growth.
A strong commercial case
We translate strategy into a clear business case, giving leadership and finance the defensible evidence needed to invest with confidence.
Property & Portfolio Strategy
From a single workplace to a national portfolio, we help organisations make informed property decisions grounded in data and aligned to their business.
Our strategic consultancy approach brings together property, workplace and operational insights to create a clear path forward. Whether defining the right footprint for one workplace or planning lease events, utilisation and consolidation opportunities across multiple sites, we help organisations make smarter decisions at every scale.
Who we work with
We work with both tenants and landlords, applying the same evidence-led approach to help each make better property and workplace decisions.
Organisations & Occupiers
Whether you’re planning a new workplace, approaching a lease event or rethinking how space supports your business, we help define what success looks like. We start by understanding your people, ways of working and business objectives, then develop a workplace strategy and brief that aligns stakeholders and creates a clear direction forward.
The result is a validated roadmap: the right space, in the right location, at the right scale, with the commercial case to support it.
Landlords & Asset Owners
We help landlords attract and retain tenants by creating spaces that align with what today’s occupiers are looking for. Through market insight, feasibility analysis and workplace expertise, we shape leasing strategies, workplace concepts and tenant-ready offerings that stand out in the market, accelerate leasing outcomes and strengthen long-term asset value. Our approach combines workplace data, occupier insights and active market knowledge to position assets more effectively, helping connect the right tenants with the right space.
We also work alongside real estate agents, not around them. By providing an independent workplace perspective, we help create alignment between occupiers, landlords and agents, making the right outcome easier for everyone to achieve.

Common Questions
When should we engage a workplace strategist?
The sooner you start, the more options you have. Ideally, we’d begin two or more years before a lease expiry, giving us time to properly test options, strengthen your negotiating position and shape the best possible outcome. That said, it’s never too late to have the conversation. While a shorter runway may have more limits, we can still provide valuable insight, clarity and direction to support your decision-making.
How does Studio DB work alongside the real estate agent or tenant representative?
We complement them, not replace them. Agents transact on space, while Studio DB brings the independent advice of what space you actually need and why. Together, that gives tenants and agents the third-party clarity that makes the right deal easier to reach.
Do we have to engage Studio DB for design and delivery as well?
No. Our Strategic Consultancy services can stand on their own, and many clients engage us for strategy alone. That said, because our strategy, design and delivery teams work as one, choosing to continue with us means no loss of intent between deciding what to do and making it happen.
What do we receive at the end of a strategy engagement?
A clear, evidence-based roadmap for your workplace or property decision — the recommended direction, the right size and shape of space, and the commercial case to support it. In short, the clarity and confidence to move forward.
