Sizing guides
Size shelters with explicit occupancy, equipment, and circulation assumptions.
How we approach Sizing guides
Sizing guides prevent painful mismatches between authorized headcount and workable floorplates. We translate mission profiles into net usable area, aisle widths, and equipment islands.
Environmental assumptions - heating, lighting, infiltration - should accompany sizing so HVAC budgets remain credible.
We produce decision tables procurement teams can defend: trade-offs between span, modularity, and transport class.
