Frequently asked questions

How many workstations fit in my office?

Divide usable floor area by 40 to 60 square feet per seat for typical layouts, after deducting aisles and meeting rooms. A layout drawing from the supplier helps verify this.

Are partitions necessary?

Low partitions give some privacy and hold notice boards. Open benches suit collaborative teams but are noisier.

Can workstations be moved later?

Most modular systems can be dismantled and re-assembled, but check that parts are standard and available. Common brands include Godrej Interio, Featherlite, Wipro and Durian.
