Your lease is coming up, your team has grown.
You're not ready to commit to anything yet. But you're starting to feel the pressure of a timeline that isn't waiting for you to feel ready.
The agent has the perfect space.
The designer has exciting ideas.
The builder says they can manage it.
Everyone has an opinion on what you need.
What you don't have yet is someone who will help you think it all through clearly, before you commit to anything.
The Workspace Strategy Diagnostic™
A single, structured 60 minute conversation to get clarity on what you actually need from your new workspace, and how to get it, before you make any commitments.
BEFORE THE CALL:
You'll complete a short questionnaire first - around 15 minutes, sent to you after booking. It covers your business structure and decision-making process, your current premises as a baseline, and where the business is heading. Those three things tell me enough about your situation that the call itself can start with real thinking rather than orientation. Sixty minutes goes further when we're not spending the first twenty getting acquainted with the basics.
DURING THE CALL:
This isn't a discovery call, a sales conversation, or a chance for me to understand your project well enough to pitch you a bigger engagement.
It's a Strategic Diagnostic - the same thinking process I apply at the beginning of every workspace project I take on - run specifically for your situation.
Over 60 minutes, you'll work through what your business actually needs from its next workspace, what the real risks are in the options you're currently considering, what you don't yet know that you need to know before you commit, and what the right next step is for your specific situation... whether that involves me further or not. And the call is recorded, so you'll be able to refer back to it as often as you need to.
AFTER THE CALL:
Within 48 hours of the call, you'll receive a personalised written summary that captures what was discussed, what's clear, what flags were raised, and what the recommended next steps are.
You'll also receive a copy of The Workspace Fit-out Roadmap - a practical reference document outlining the 9 steps from first thought to move-in, across 3 stages, with realistic timeframes, a fit-out cost guide, compliance triggers, and what you're responsible for at each step. It's the document that tells you where you are on the map before anyone else gets to define that for you. Your reference point for every conversation that follows. With your agent, your designer, your builder, your leadership team.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
The Diagnostic™ is for the founder, director, or business owner who is in the thinking and looking phase - not yet committed, but feeling the pressure of a timeline that's starting to move.
You've built a real business. The money at stake is personal, not a corporate budget allocation. And you're navigating a set of decisions that involve lease terms, consent implications, fit-out cost structures, compliance obligations, and contractor relationships that have no reason to be your area of expertise.
SPECIFICALLY THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
You're facing a lease event - a renewal, expiry, relocation - and the timeline is starting to create pressure
Your team has grown and the space that made sense twelve months ago no longer does
You're being approached by agents, designers, or builders and you're not sure who to trust or in what order to engage them
You've committed to a direction but something doesn't feel quite right and you want a second opinion before it goes further
You want to understand what you're actually getting into before you sign anything, or spend anything
THIS IS NOT FOR YOU IF:
Your project is already in design documentation or construction and you're looking for project management support. The Diagnostic™ is a pre-commitment tool - it's most valuable before the decisions are locked in, not after.
If you've moved past the thinking stage and you're ready to get your team in the room and produce the brief, that's The Intensive™

A note on independence...
Hi, I'm Rachel and I have no commercial interest in what you decide to do with your workspace.
I am not the agent, the designer, the project manager, or the builder. I don't receive referral fees, procurement margins, or commissions from any of the parties you may engage after this conversation. My only commercial relationship with you is the one you're paying for directly.
That matters. Because the advice you receive in the Diagnostic™ is not shaped by what anyone else needs you to decide. It is shaped entirely by what your specific business actually needs.
In over 20 years, across more than 100 workspace projects, the most expensive mistakes I've seen have not been made by careless business owners. They've been made by capable, intelligent people who moved too quickly with incomplete information and the wrong advisors in the room.
I created The Diagnostic™ to change that dynamic.
