Built world market report

What’s inside:

Most companies think they know how their office is being used, but what does the data say?

We analyzed workplace activity across 954 organizations and 116 million square feet of real estate. What we found challenges a lot of assumptions about how, when, and why employees actually show up.

The result is a detailed look at real workplace behavior: when offices hit peak demand, where space and cost are misaligned, how employees are planning their time in-office, and what facilities teams are quietly managing behind the scenes.

Inside, you’ll find benchmarks and takeaways across:

• Utilization — Peak demand patterns across enterprise and SMB environments
• Employee behavior — Desk and room booking habits, tools, and workflows
• Workplace layouts — How space is divided and how seating strategies are evolving
• Facilities operations — The volume of moves, reconfigurations, and requests keeping offices running
• Actionable recommendations — How to use this data to make smarter 2026 planning decisions

Whether you’re rightsizing your portfolio or rethinking your seating strategy, this report gives you the signal you need to act with confidence.
