Whether you’re reconfiguring an existing floor plan or planning a new location, we’ll guide you through test fits, adjacency planning, and power/data coordination to deliver a layout that balances comfort, productivity, and flexibility.
Tell us about your office, team, and goals, and we’ll help you build a practical furniture layout with ideas from a Kansas City office planning expert.
Who Office Space Planning Is For
Our office space planning service is built for teams that need more than product links. If you’re trying to figure out what fits, how many people you can seat, how the space should flow, or what furniture makes sense before you buy, this is the right place to start.
- New office setup (starting from an empty floor plan)
- Office refresh / reconfiguration (keeping some furniture, replacing some)
- Growing teams (adding seats without killing workflow)
- Relocations (planning around a new footprint)
- Architect / GC collaboration (coordinating furniture with buildout)
- Budget-first planning (need layout + options before final decisions)
What Space Planning Solves
- Right-sized rooms & zones: Private offices, focus areas, collaboration spaces, and meeting rooms that match your headcount and workstyles.
- Better flow: Clear circulation paths that minimize bottlenecks and reduce noise spill.
- Seat planning & growth: Department adjacencies, hoteling, and future expansion baked into the plan.
- Code & comfort: ADA awareness, daylight access, acoustics, and ergonomic sightlines.
- Power & tech ready: Furniture footprints aligned to power, data, AV, and Wi-Fi coverage.
Our Space Planning Process
1. Discovery & Programming
We confirm team sizes, work modes, adjacencies, meeting needs, and future growth to define clear planning criteria.
2. Site Measure & Base Plan
Field verify dimensions, columns, glazing, doors, and utilities to create an accurate base for planning.
3. Test Fits & Iterations
Multiple layout options (benching vs. private, meeting mix, circulation strategies) to evaluate tradeoffs quickly.
4. Final Plan & Coordination
Lock in the preferred layout, then coordinate with power/data locations, life safety, and building requirements.
5. Hand-off or Next Step
Share a clean plan set—or move smoothly into Furniture Design & Specification for finishes, products, and install.

Recent Kansas City Projects Where Space Planning Made the Difference
A strong plan makes every next decision easier — from seat counts and circulation to furniture selection and installation. Here are a few projects where space planning helped create a better outcome.
EV Manufacturer
A growing industrial facility needed workstations, private offices, conference areas, and support spaces—while maximizing reuse of existing cubicles and furniture. We helped evaluate reuse vs used vs new (including AIS options) and build a phased plan that scaled.
Community Health Center
Healthcare spaces need comfort, cleanability, and durability. We furnished patient-facing waiting areas (adult + children’s seating), outdoor areas, and staff workspaces including private offices, task seating, and workstation areas.
