Flexible workspaces represent a growing need for surveyors to prepare for a wildly changing future of the commercial real estate market.

So how can professionals adapt to the uptick in flexible space, and how does the data available to us today help us to understand and value this evolving sector?

These questions are at the heart of this week’s episode of The RICS Podcast, as we dive into flex space with JLL Director Christy Bowen, IWG’s CEO Mark Dixon, and Director of HEWN, Will Kinnear.

This episode of The RICS Podcast covers:

  • The immaturity of the flexible office sector and its rapid growth
  • The importance of data sharing and benchmarking
  • The evolving role of surveyors, who must move beyond traditional valuation and agency models to understand operational real estate
  • Practical advice on how professionals can stay relevant by leveraging data, flex space economics, and creative solutions for clients
  • The importance of surveyors having of a deep understanding of flex space before they advise in this area
