The Desk Is the Easy Part.

Workstations, benching, cubicles, and height adjustable desks, planned as a floor and installed as one project. Typicals, power, and day-two changes handled by the same team that sets the last panel.

The Real Product

You're not buying desks. You're buying a floor that works.

A workstation floor is a system: shared power spines, panel heights, storage, screens, and the aisles between them. Get the typical right once and it repeats cleanly across sixty stations. Get it wrong and you repeat that too.

So we start with the typical, the standard station your floor is built from, and prove it on a plan before anything is ordered.

Station Anatomy

Six decisions per station.

Benching Runs

Open desking on a shared spine. The densest, lightest way to seat a team.

Panel Systems & Cubicles

Visual and acoustic privacy per station, with panel heights set to the work.

Height Adjustable

Sit-stand legs at the station level, as the standard or as the option.

Storage & Pedestals

Mobile peds, towers, and laterals, sized to what people actually keep.

Screens & Division

Desk-mounted and freestanding screens where full panels are too much.

Power & Data

The spine, the floor cores, and the feeds, coordinated before anything ships.

Standard stations without a project attached? The store ships benching and cubicles direct.

Systems on the Floor

Three ways the same headcount lands.

We plan across manufacturers, so the system follows your floor plate and budget, not one catalog.

Benching

Shared spines, screen division, height adjustable ready. Density without the maze.

Fabric panel workstations with glass upmount screens

Panels & Cubicles

Fabric and glass panels with sit-stand tables inside. Privacy where the work needs it.

Screened open plan setting with media display by window wall

Team Settings

Screened group settings with media and soft division, between desk and meeting room.

The Variables

Sixty stations is not sixty times one desk.

The floor prices as a system. These are the levers we settle before the number means anything.

Typicals & headcountHow many station types, and how many of each. The biggest lever on the quote.

Power spine & circuitsWhere power enters the run, how many circuits, and what your electrician needs to rough in.

Panel heights & acousticsSeated privacy, standing privacy, or open. Height changes cost and the feel of the floor.

Storage mixPedestals, towers, and laterals per person move the number station by station.

Height adjustable countSit-stand everywhere, or where requested. Each approach prices differently.

Reuse of existing productPanels and stations you already own can carry forward. We measure and tell you what's worth keeping.

Phasing & occupied floorsInstalling around a working team adds sequencing, staging, and after-hours labor.

Freight & stagingWorkstations ship in volume. Dock access, elevators, and staging space set the logistics.

Order of Operations

Planned once. Installed once.

One team owns the floor from first headcount to last panel, with a single point of contact throughout.

Headcount & Program

Who sits where, how teams work, and the budget range you're planning against.

Field Measure

We verify the floor plate, columns, power, and delivery path as they exist.

Typicals & Plan

Station standards drawn to scale on your plan, with finishes and options selected.

Quote & Approval

One complete quote: product, freight, and installation, with lead times stated plainly.

Install & Punch List

Our crews receive, build, and level the floor, then walk it with you station by station.

Decide These Early

Four calls that are cheap now and expensive later.

The typical before the total

Approve one fully specified station before pricing sixty of them. Every option you settle at the typical stops being a change order later.

The power question

Furniture power has to meet building power somewhere. Decide where the spine feeds from while the electrician is still cheap to redirect.

Acoustic honesty

Open benching is loud. If the work needs quiet, plan panel heights, screens, or nearby focus space now instead of retrofitting complaints.

The day-two standard

Floors change. A station standard built from stocked, repeatable parts reconfigures cheaply. One-off stations are custom forever.

Straight Answers

Open Plan FAQ

What's the difference between benching and cubicles?+

Benching is open desking on a shared spine: lighter division, better density, easier reconfiguration. Cubicles use panels for visual and acoustic privacy at each station. Most floors mix both, and the right split comes from the work, not the trend.

Can you install on an occupied floor?+

Yes. Workstations phase well. We sequence by department, stage product off the floor, and schedule after hours where the work would be disruptive.

Can stations be height adjustable?+

Yes. Most benching and panel systems take height adjustable bases at the station level, so you can standardize on sit-stand everywhere or offer it where it's requested.

Do you handle power and data?+

We plan it. The furniture's power spine, floor cores, and wall feeds get coordinated with your electrician before anything ships, so rough-in happens once.

Can we reuse panels or stations we already own?+

Often, yes. We measure what you have, tell you what's worth keeping, and plan the new floor around it at real dimensions.

Can we just buy workstations from the store?+

Yes. The store ships benching and cubicles direct. A project team makes sense when the order comes with a floor plan attached: multiple typicals, power coordination, or phased delivery.

What do you need to quote a floor?+

A plan or rough dimensions, headcount, and how the teams work. From that we draw typicals, price the floor, and state lead times plainly.
