Activity-based office planning

Activity-based planning gives employees distinct settings for focus, calls, meetings, collaboration and recovery.

Activity-based office planning — PoMo Union Office project

[Short answer]

What does the company get?

Activity-based planning gives employees distinct settings for focus, calls, meetings, collaboration and recovery. The solution is tied to the plan, building services, actual workload and launch schedule, then recorded in a line-item specification.

PoMo Union Office has been operating since 2004 and manages the project from initial data to installed furniture. The scope, deadline and cost are confirmed only after checking a specific task.

Why you can't start with a random directory

Choosing only by a picture or the price of one item makes the project impossible to control. Without clear rules and capacity, named zones remain decorative and all work returns to open space.

01

Separate open, confidential and visitor-facing work scenarios.

This point is checked before ordering and recorded in the design or specification so that the result can be accepted according to understandable criteria.

02

Define the required level of speech privacy and background noise control.

[Expert review]

What distinguishes a working solution from a beautiful arrangement

For the “Activity-based office based on work scenarios” task, we check not a set of objects, but the connection between people’s behavior, planning, engineering and operation. The three criteria below must appear in the design before ordering.

01

Four levels of privacy

We separately check visual, acoustic, informational and territorial privacy - they are solved using different techniques.

Required evidence
Privacy map and list of conversation and work scenarios
What fails if overlooked
Closed view is mistaken for privacy, although speech and data remain accessible.
02

Speech privacy and background

We divide the tasks: muffle a distracting conversation, hide the content of the conversation or isolate the call. Each problem requires its own set of solutions.

Required evidence
Map of noisy, quiet and private scenarios
What fails if overlooked
Screens create a visual boundary but do not address speech privacy or reduce distractions.
03

Routes of people and services

We separate employees, visitors, queues, delivery and evacuation. Furniture should not turn a shortcut into a permanent detour.

Required evidence
Flow plan with peak usage scenarios
What fails if overlooked
The reception, kitchen or meeting room creates a traffic jam and distracts nearby workspaces.

[Result]

The result is a documented “Activity-based office planning” solution that can be accepted against the plan, specification and delivered scope.

The work is based on four control points: initial data, planning solution, final specification, delivery and acceptance. Changes after approval are recorded and do not remain in correspondence.

  1. 01

    Brief and plan

    We collect staff, premises, restrictions, budget guidelines and launch date.

  2. 02

    Planning and selection

    We verify workstation fit, clearances, storage and building services, then compare compatible product ranges.

  3. 03

    Specification

    We record SKUs, dimensions, finishes, quantities, logistics, installation and approved substitutions.

  4. 04

    Delivery and acceptance

    We label each shipment by zone, assemble the furniture and close every item in the acceptance report.

How should the completed result be accepted?

Result criterion: The result is a documented “Activity-based office planning” solution that can be accepted against the plan, specification and delivered scope. Check the plan, completeness, SKUs, finishes, assembly and recorded defects.

How is the cost calculated?

The cost is calculated after confirmation of layout, quantity, configurations, materials, address, logistics and installation. Unconfirmed prices are deliberately not published on the page.

Is it possible to implement the project in another city in Kazakhstan?

Yes. Design can be carried out remotely, and the route, packaging, installation and deadline are calculated for a specific city and site.

What information is needed to get started?
