Count activities as well as desks
Document focused work, confidential meetings, collaboration and client visits. Use these activities to test the balance of enclosed rooms and open settings before choosing furniture.
Check the building interface
Landlord requirements, services capacity, lift access and permitted working hours affect delivery. Review them alongside the test fit so the preferred layout can be evaluated against practical constraints.
Plan continuity
Identify IT changeover, furniture reuse and the first day of occupation. A phased move may reduce disruption, but only if access, dependencies and responsibilities are clear.
