Office Space Planning and Design

Q: What does the design service cost?

Nothing when you buy the furniture through us. The consultation, layout, renderings and project management are included with every furniture purchase. For conceptual projects without a furniture purchase, design and project management are available as a billable service.

Q: We already have an architect. Do we still need this?

Architects plan walls; we plan what goes inside them. We work from their drawings and handle furniture specification, which most architecture fees leave out.

Q: Do you design offices outside Columbus?

Yes. We design and install throughout central Ohio, including Dublin, Westerville, Hilliard, Grove City, Newark, and Delaware, and we travel farther for larger projects. The walkthrough happens on site regardless of where you are.

Office space planning, design consultation, and 3D renderings included with every furniture purchase in Columbus and central Ohio. You see the layout, walk the space, and approve the finishes before you buy a single piece.

How the Design Process Works

Space planning, design consultation, and 3D renderings are included with every furniture purchase. Here is what that process looks like.

Measure and listen

We walk the space, measure, count heads, and ask how the office actually works: focus time, meetings, storage, collaboration, growth plans.

Plan and render

You get a to-scale space plan and 3D renderings of your office with your furniture, your finishes, and sight lines that show how the layout actually works.

Spec and price

Every piece in the rendering priced from more than 160 manufacturer lines, with pre-owned options only when a budget needs to stretch, so the decision is yours.

Offices We Designed and Furnished

From a single angled room to a 110,000 sq ft headquarters, every project starts with the same space planning process: walkthrough, layout, and renderings.

Low-wall reception cubicle with office panel partitions at SingleSource IT in Gahanna, Ohio

TECHNOLOGY · ANGLED ENTRY

SingleSource IT, Gahanna

An under-used reception area with angled walls became seating for three. Our designer and project manager specified a low-wall cubicle system with panels and work surfaces set at 120 degrees, so every corner of the room is used.

Office Space Planning Questions We Hear a Lot

What does the space planning service cost?

Nothing when you buy the furniture through us. The space planning consultation, layout, renderings, and project management are included with every furniture purchase. For conceptual projects without a furniture purchase, space planning and project management are available as a billable service.

We already have an architect. Do we still need this?

Architects plan walls and building systems; we plan what goes inside them. We work from their drawings and handle furniture specification and space planning, which most architecture fees leave out.

How long does the design process take?

Most projects run two to four weeks from the first walkthrough to a signed space plan. A single floor with a straightforward program can move faster. Multi-floor projects with stakeholder reviews take longer, and the reviews, not the drawings, are usually what set the pace.

What do I need to bring to the first meeting?

A floor plan if you have one, your headcount by department, and a rough idea of how the space needs to work: focus time, meeting frequency, storage needs, collaboration areas. If you don't have a plan, we'll measure. We'd rather start from your actual constraints than a wish list.

Do you provide 3D renderings?

Yes. We produce a space plan first, then renderings once the layout is settled, so you can see finishes, furniture placement, and sight lines before anything is ordered. Renderings are where most clients catch the thing they wouldn't have noticed on a floor plan.

Can you plan around furniture we already own?

Yes, and we'll usually recommend it. We inventory what you have, identify what's worth keeping, and design the new work around it. Reusing 30 percent of your existing furniture often funds the upgrade on the other 70.

Do you handle permits and code review?

We flag code issues, ADA clearances, and egress paths during space planning, and we coordinate with your architect or contractor when the work needs a permit. Furniture-only projects generally don't. If yours crosses that line, we'll tell you early rather than at install.

Do you provide space planning outside Columbus?

Yes. We provide space planning, design, and installation throughout central Ohio, including Dublin, Westerville, Hilliard, Grove City, Newark, and Delaware, and we travel farther for larger projects. The walkthrough happens on site regardless of where you are.
