space requirement

A description of the immediate space needs for an organization, which is usually prepared prior to a major facilities move, renovation, or construction project. A space requirement serves as a needs statement and can be used as a basis for discussing priorities, comparing alternatives, and estimating costs.

A space requirement, which defines the requirement name and summary level, has an associated set of space requirement items that detail the items by which you summarized space needs and the cost and areas of these items. For example, if you sum areas at the division level, the space requirement will have space requirement items documenting the space needs and cost of each division in the inventory.

You can develop space requirements from:

A space requirement represents a single event and time period, whereas a space forecast (a type of space requirement) includes multiple time frames. Once you have documented your immediate space requirements, you can forecast needs for upcoming periods.

You can add space requirements to a portfolio scenario so that you can experiment with different allocations of the space requirement.
