Space Planning
 

The actual floor on which you propose to install your furniture is of the utmost importance in the planning equation. Space limitations can prove to hinder the simplest of installations.

The following is a list of things to look out for when planning your space for furniture:

Windows - Where are they and how much light will they provide?

Entrances and Exits- The need for proper aisle-ways etc?

Permanent or Load Bearing Walls - How they affect your open office space plan?

Building Service Lines - Where is the access to power and communication lines?

Heat and Air Vents - Will the furniture block air flow?

Ceiling Heights - Actual height and variations throughout the floor?

Doors - How high and how wide?

Structural enigmas - Variations in strengths of walls and floors?


Trick: If your existing space was planned by a design professional, try to locate the original plan and notes. These tools will point out many of the nuances listed above.
