GSA helps federal agencies get the most out of office space
Early planning
We need to start planning with you three and a half years before your current agreement expires. For prospectus-level projects, we need to start at least five years before. Early planning is important for budgets, because it is the key to better rates, better finishes, and more effective space changes.
