Sometimes the hardest thing is getting started. A topic as broad as workplace—what questions to ask, how to select the right team and prioritize initiatives—can seem daunting. On this page, you’ll find a selection of our proven proprietary tools and methods, which you are free to explore.

We’ve chosen to make these materials accessible to the public because we understand the client’s perspective. These documents range from the user experience scorecard, which we use to measure how the physical aspects of buildings might be influencing occupant experience, to a change management roadmap that offers guidance on supporting successful workplace transitions.

We think that being generous with our research and tools is part of making the world a better place one workplace at a time. We hope this gets you started and offers new perspectives on the factors that shape your workplace experience. We would love to hear from you to continue the conversation.

UX building selection scorecard

Buildings have historically been assessed based on geometry and costs, neglecting important human factors like wellness and experience. At PLASTARC, we aim to change this by introducing a scorecard that measures building performance holistically. This tool considers financial, spatial, and human factors to provide a comprehensive evaluation of a building's performance.
