Research & Cost Analysis

We are a knowledge based organisation producing strategic research report , as well as occupancy cost analysis in the form of TOCS

Actium is a strategic management consultancy and knowledge based organisation. We believe that reliable and effective strategy is only produced through in depth research and a thorough understanding of relevant data. We are active in the research market particularly in the area of occupancy cost analysis and office cost benchmarking ,and are happy to assist companies, professional bodies or public sector organisations to undertake innovative research projects in related areas.

We believe that the way forward for our clients is in greater knowledge and understanding of both the behaviour of markets and its transactions and also in the ways that assets can be more efficiently and effectively used by businesses and people. To this end, we have been involved in regular research and occupancy cost research with our own total office cost survey over the last 9 years providing insight into decision drivers, occupation costs, new property products and the changing use of technology in the working environment.
