What do I need to know before I shop?

Unlike purchasing most office furniture, buying cubicles isn’t just about finding a design and a type that would look good with your décor.  It is an involved process that requires you to work closely with your vendor of choice.  The types of cubicles available are practically limitless, but require a vendor relationship to work out. 

In order to prepare yourself for the process of outfitting your office with cubicles and other systems furniture, you need to get familiar with your office space. 

Perhaps the most important thing to know is the floor plan and measurements of the space you are going to outfit with systems furniture.  These measurements don’t have to be exact—as many systems furniture dealers will take more detailed measurements once you start the purchasing process—but approximate dimensions will make it much easier to shop around and have initial conversations with systems furniture vendors. 

Then, you must think about the employees who will be working in these cubicles.  What do they spend their days doing?  Talking on the phone?  Working on the computer?  Collaborating with one another to brainstorm or problem solve?  Depending on their job description, their ideal cubicles could vary widely. 

Finally, you have to remember to think about how the office will be laid out.  You wouldn’t want an employee always interrupted by traffic going to and from the bathrooms, or a station that is constantly subjected to the noise of the shared printer.  Remember, you don’t have to finalize any one arrangement, but it is good to be aware of possible disruptions so that you can start to plan around them.

Because cubicles and other systems furniture is a big investment, it is important make sure you are getting what you want and need, the first time.
