Look beyond
the listing.
For a Shah Alam or Glenmarie search, separate the space your operation needs from the space that simply looks attractive in photographs. Prepare a brief covering production or storage, offices, staff facilities and visitor access. Compare each property's layout against that brief and your intended occupation date. Record any alterations needed, who would pay for them and what must be confirmed before the premises can be used.

Take these questions to your viewing.
- 01
Measure the working floor and office portions separately, including any mezzanine, rather than relying only on the total built-up figure.
- 02
Review staff and visitor entrances, parking allocation and the route pedestrians would take around delivery vehicles.
- 03
List the alterations your operation needs and ask the owner which works, approvals and reinstatement obligations must be addressed.
Should I choose a property with more office space?+
Only if your operating brief needs it. Compare the office area you would actually use with the working or storage space it leaves. Include any conversion work and the owner's requirements when comparing the total cost.
