Free: $0

Built for facilities and workplace managers running their own floors, desks and site access only

Not for the maintenance manager, the front desk, the room booker, the office administrator, the procurement team or the property manager

Tools

Three worksheets, each settling one thing about the floor before anybody quotes for it

It is the set of decisions a facilities or workplace manager makes about a building as a place people work: how much space the headcount needs and what it costs a person, how much of the floor is actually used on a Tuesday, how many desks a hybrid week requires and on what sharing rule, and which contractors are cleared to be on site this week.

HardFM works the arithmetic behind those decisions on the page, a desk sharing ratio calculator included, free, from your own figures, and keeps the record behind them for $24 a month.

Free to use. No account, no card, no sign-up.

Size the floor. Measure the use. Keep the record.

The floor

The space a headcount needs, and the square feet per person it implies

120 people at 7 desks per 10 and 60 square feet a desk, with 1,800 square feet of meeting space, 1,500 of support and 25% circulation, is 84 desks and 10,425 square feet, 86.9 a person, worked on the page before the number goes to the landlord or the board.

The use

Utilization from attendance, not from headcount

140 desks with 180 people assigned reads as oversubscribed until the door count goes in: 84 in on average is 60% utilization, 126 on the busiest day is 90%, 14 desks are spare, and the attendance supports 7 desks per 10 people. The figure the lease decision actually needs.

The record

Spaces, desks, occupancy and the contractors cleared to be on site

Buildings, floors, desks and who is booked into them, the occupancy the floor sees week by week, and every contractor cleared for a building with the insurance and induction held and the date each expires, filed against the building so the Monday question has the sheet to hand. Everything exports.

Why not just buy a workplace suite?

Need sensor integrations, a visitor kiosk, room displays, badge-reader sync and an API? Buy an integrated workplace management suite; it does that and this does not. Need the space requirement, the utilization and the desks a policy needs worked the same way every time from your own figures, and the spaces, desks and cleared contractors kept in one record for one flat price, this is that.

The space, the utilization and the policy, worked from your figures

HardFM: The product itself, with the arithmetic on the page

A per-desk workplace suite: A dashboard that reports what the sensors and bookings say and leaves the space plan to a spreadsheet

Price for the team

HardFM: $24 a month, flat, every floor and every person, billed monthly

A per-desk workplace suite: A price per desk or per user per month, and the next tier for analytics

Built for

HardFM: Facilities and workplace managers running their own floors, desks and site access, only

A per-desk workplace suite: Every workplace team in every industry, plus the visitors and the rooms

Suite pricing, for the record: the desk booking and workplace suites in this category publish per-desk or per-user monthly prices with analytics on a higher tier, and we quote none of their figures here because we have not licensed them on this site. HardFM Pro is $24 per month for your whole team, however many floors and people, billed monthly.
