do not approve dimensions separately from the plan: check aisles, chairs in working position, sockets and cable routes
What areas does a 20 person team really need?
First, distribute employees by department and work mode. If the majority is present daily, cutting tables for the sake of hybridity is risky. If attendance is confirmed by data, part of the space can be dedicated to focus and meetings.
One meeting room should not simultaneously serve as the manager’s office, a call room and lunch. For short conversations, provide a separate compact point.
- work area;
- meeting room 6–8 seats;
- place for calls;
- storage and lockers;
- kitchen or coffee point;
- reception if there are visitors.
Basic list of furniture for calculation
Create a workspace kit: desk, chair, screen, cables and storage. Then add common areas and reserve only after checking the plan. Don't automatically buy 20 drawers if documents are stored centrally.
A meeting room requires a table, 6-8 chairs, food, and space for a screen. In the kitchen - tables, chairs and closed storage, in the entrance area - only the amount of seating that corresponds to the flow.
In what sequence should I start purchasing?
Agree on the layout and electrical, then critical work areas, meeting room and storage. After checking the samples, approve the finishes and fix the deadline. Decor and accessories should not delay the launch of the main command.
For urgent openings, you can split the supply into finished jobs and the second line, but all items must remain part of the same plan.
- plan and initial data;
- samples;
- specification;
- order and schedule;
- delivery, installation and acceptance.
How to get an office estimate for 20 employees?
Send PoMo your plan, team composition, city, launch date and budget target. The team will prepare the formation and select positions from catalog.
The final estimate will consider specific items, logistics and installation, rather than an abstract price per square meter.
