spaciv
spaciv is a web-based workplace and real estate analytics platform that ties organizational and building data to space demand, carbon impact, and fit-out decisions so teams can right-size offices and industrial footprints.
Founded in 2020, spaciv targets organizations that need a repeatable way to move from scattered HR, booking, lease, and survey data toward a single view of how much space they need and how it performs (spaciv mission and product pages, 2026). The product frames space as something you can model: users build a digital picture of the organization and the estate, then analyze current use, qualitative needs, and future scenarios before turning outputs into a space strategy and programme.
Unlike one-off spreadsheets, the workflow is meant to run across relocation, reconfiguration, site comparison, and ongoing portfolio tuning. Marketing materials highlight footprint optimisation, experience optimisation, and portfolio-level programmes, plus one-time projects when a client needs a focused study rather than a standing subscription.
Customers look for cost control, lower carbon intensity from better-utilized floor area, and measurable workplace outcomes. The vendor publishes a Sparkasse example describing a large reduction in new office and energy costs after using what it calls AI-assisted planning; treat any percentage as illustrative and confirm with the case study on the spaciv site.
Implementation does not require sensor networks to start: the vendor states that organizational data and benchmarks can drive the first pass, with sensor streams optional later. That matters for teams that want a baseline before investing in instrumentation.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Connects people data and building data in a workflow built for decisions, not only reporting.
- Explicitly allows starting without dense sensor deployments.
- Covers both one-off projects and longer portfolio programmes.
- Public materials tie space decisions to sustainability and cost outcomes.
Cons
- Pricing is not published in detail on the marketing site; expect sales-led quotes for larger estates.
- Heavy BIM authoring integration is not the main story; it is workplace and portfolio analytics.
- Depth of integrations with IWMS or CAD tools must be validated for your stack.
Key features
Digital org and space model: Consolidates inputs so teams can describe the workforce, locations, and space stack in one place instead of siloed spreadsheets.
Demand and performance analysis: Combines quantitative and qualitative signals to estimate true space demand and how well current layouts meet it.
Strategy and programme outputs: Turns findings into a documented space strategy and programme you can hand to design and delivery partners.
Portfolio and project modes: Supports ongoing portfolio optimisation plus one-time studies for moves or major refits.
Carbon and cost framing: Surfaces efficiency and emissions angles alongside financial outcomes when sizing or reshaping space.

Frequently asked questions
What is spaciv used for?
It helps organizations model how much office or industrial space they need, how current space performs, and what to change to cut cost and carbon while supporting users. Outputs read as a space strategy and programme you can execute with designers and builders.
Does spaciv require workplace sensors?
No. The vendor states you can begin with organizational data and benchmarks, then add sensor data if you want finer utilization signals.
Is spaciv free to try?
The site promotes a free signup path and demos. Commercial terms for enterprise portfolios are not listed as fixed public prices, so confirm licensing with spaciv for your contract size.
Can spaciv help after we already picked a building?
Yes. FAQ-style copy on the office solution page says you can test-fit a chosen building against modeled needs.
Who founded spaciv?
Malte Koeditz and Ulf Seekamp founded the company in 2020, combining architecture and software backgrounds according to the mission page.
How does spaciv relate to BIM models?
The product centers on workplace and portfolio data rather than acting as a BIM authoring environment. Use it for demand, strategy, and programme work, then coordinate detailed modeling in your BIM tools as needed.
