Q&A: Who should I contact to help me design and maximize office space?

Question by PopeFred: Who should I contact to help me design and maximize office space?
I am building out a department and have been given space to work with, but I am at a loss on how to go about make the best possible use out of the space provided.

For those looking for more details -- it's an inside sales department.

Well, we don't even know what country you are in or even what size space you are working with. Look for ‘office organizers' in your city by doing a Google search. Expect them to want a small fortune for their ‘consulting' activities. Most of them won't lift a finger -- just charge you an arm-and-a-leg for fancy watercolor drawings and some architectural floor plan IDEAS.

Personally, I would be patient enough to try a few set-ups myself and see which one seems to be most efficient and go with that. Tweak the design as needed from there.
If there is some space that hardly ever gets used, move whatever equipment that is NOT being used out of that space and find a more efficient way to store it. Wash, rinse, repeat -- and then you will have an efficient workspace.
