The repetitive work that decides how a floor feels
Desk build out is where an office fit out either lands well or does not. Every position needs power and data in the right place, screens at the right height, docks that work with the machines people actually have, and cable managed so the desk can still be moved.
We handle it as part of the same project as the cabling and the network, which means the ports behind the desk are the ones on the patch panel, tested and labelled, rather than a separate trade guessing.
What the work covers
- Data and power brought to each desk position and tested
- Monitor arms and mounting, set to the desk and the user
- Docking and peripheral setup, matched to the machines in use
- Cable management that survives the desk being moved
- Meeting and shared positions set up the same as permanent desks
- Floor walk at handover so every position is confirmed working
Every desk traces back to a port
The outlet at the desk is one end of a tested, labelled run. That is what makes a fault a five minute job instead of an afternoon.
Power and data reach the desk, not the wall
Floor boxes and poke-throughs are set out against the furniture plan, so desks land where the drawing puts them rather than where the nearest outlet allows. Moving a workstation afterwards can mean lifting the floor, not simply moving the desk.
Consistency is the professional standard
A floor of workstations is a manufacturing exercise: the value is in every position being identical, tested and documented. One desk done cleverly is worth less than fifty done identically.
We stage, label and test each position against the same checklist, so IT supports one configuration rather than fifty variations, and the next office move is logistics rather than archaeology.
Common questions
What does a workstation setup service include?
Power and data to each desk position, monitor arms, docking matched to the machines in use, and cable management that survives the desk being moved, confirmed working position by position at handover.
How long does it take to set up an office floor of desks?
It scales with position count and whether cabling exists. Because we install the cabling and the desks as one project, the ports behind the desks are already tested rather than assumed.
Can you set up hot desks and shared workstations?
Yes. Shared positions get the same docking, display and cabling standard as permanent desks so any laptop lands and works.
Do you test every desk before handover?
Yes, a floor walk confirms every position: port live, dock working, displays at the right height. The first morning is not the test.
Can meeting rooms be fitted out at the same time?
Yes, and it is cheaper together, because the same cabling, containment and switching serve both. One project, one accountable party.
One team from design through commissioning
We cover the full project rather than turning up to install somebody else's design. That is what makes the result somebody's responsibility.
Design
We walk the building, work out what it needs to do and produce a design you can actually price against.
Procurement
We source the equipment and stand behind what we specify, so there is one party accountable for it.
Installation
Our own crews on site for cabling, mounting, terminations and containment.
Commissioning
Everything configured, tested and handed over with the records, credentials and documentation.
