Tip — Square Footage per Employee

Small office (1–10 people): use 500–800 sq ft minimum total
Cubicle-heavy: ~125 sq ft / person
Flex / collaborative: ~200 sq ft / person
Private office-heavy: ~225–250 sq ft / person

⚠  Small Office Mode — Fewer Than 10 Employees Detected

With fewer than 10 employees the standard sq-ft-per-person formula underestimates actual space requirements — a 3-person office still needs a real conference room, breakroom, and storage. Budget calculations use a minimum 500 sq ft floor regardless of the employee × sq ft math, and every active space category is guaranteed at least 1 space.

Apply a small-office preset below to load realistic space allocations instantly, or adjust allocations manually in the table.

⚠ Low Budget Warning: The current Grand Total (Good tier) is below $8,000. This is unusually low for a commercial furniture project — please verify the employee count, sq ft, and space allocations before presenting to a client.

Wall linear feet = Total Sq Ft × % above. Industry range: ~7–11% of sq ft. Panel cost and install cost are both per linear foot — zero out Install / Lin Ft if wall vendor includes installation in their panel pricing.
