Office Layout Design (2D)
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Define deliverables list
Core drawings and files
General Arrangement (GA) plan: final layout with dimensions, room names, and circulation.
Furniture plan: scaled plan with furniture blocks, counts, and typical sizes; include a furniture schedule with make/model or allowance spec.
Electrical plan: power outlets, dedicated circuits, floor box locations, panel schedule notes, and lighting layout with fixture schedule.
Low-voltage/LAN plan: data outlets (Cat6A), AP locations, small rack/IDF location, backbone pathways, and labeling scheme.
Plumbing plan (coffee corner): cold/hot water points, drain, vent (if applicable), appliance points, and elevations/sections as needed.
Reflected ceiling plan (RCP): lighting positions, switching, and coordination notes for ceiling types.
Door and glazing diagram: door swings, types, and glass partition lines for coordination.
Documentation
One combined coordination plan overlay (furniture + power + data + plumbing keynotes).
Schedules: furniture, fixtures and equipment (FFE), lighting, power/data symbols legend.
Two revision rounds included; source files (CAD or Revit) plus PDFs.
Deliverable formats: PDF set for issue; native CAD (DWG) or Revit; a consolidated annotated plan in PDF for stakeholders.
Step 2 — Set budget and timeline
Assumptions: area ≈ 114 m²; mid-level freelancer; two revisions; design-only (no permitting/stamping).
fixed-fee, milestone based.
Milestones and payments:
25% on kick-off and base plan alignment.
35% on Concept Options (2–3 options) + selection.
30% on Issue for Review (IFR) full set.
10% on Issue for Final (IFF) after revisions.
Timeline: 3 weeks total
Week 1: Briefing, measurements alignment, 2–3 layout options.
Week 2: Selected plan development, furniture and utilities layouts.
Week 3: RCP + coordination plan, schedules, and two revision loops.
Step 3 — Prepare selection criteria
Relevant portfolio: small corporate offices with glass partitions and premium executive suites; show at least two projects with furniture + utilities plans.
Technical stack: proficient in AutoCAD or Revit; clean sheet standards; consistent symbols; layer management.
Coordination skills: experience aligning furniture with power/data/plumbing; floor box positioning for conference table; kitchenette points.
Communication and reliability: clear update cadence, meets milestones, accepts 2 rounds of revisions in fee.
Deliverable quality: sample PDFs must be legible, dimensioned, and annotated; provide a snippet of a past coordination overlay.
References or ratings: 2 client references or 4.8+ rating with 10+ completed jobs in similar scope.
Step 4 — Draft one-page brief
Project: Office No. 203 — Design-Only Plans (Layout, Furniture, Electrical, Plumbing, LAN)
Scope: Produce a coordinated design package for a premium 114 m² office including CEO Suite, glass Conference Room, Reception, Coffee Corner, and three Small Offices. Deliver furniture plan and utilities layouts (power/lighting, plumbing to kitchenette, and data/LAN), plus a combined coordination plan.
Deliverables:
GA plan with dimensions and room labels.
Furniture plan with blocks, counts, and schedule.
Electrical plan: outlets, dedicated circuits, floor boxes, lighting with fixture schedule.
Low-voltage/LAN plan: data points, APs, IDF, pathways and labels.
Plumbing plan (coffee corner) with points and elevations/sections as needed.
RCP for lighting and switching.
Door/glazing diagram for coordination.
One coordination overlay plan; legend and symbol keys.
Two revision rounds; PDFs and native CAD/Revit files.
Standards:
Accurate scaling to 12.88 m x 8.88 m footprint; maintain clean corridor and glass fronts as concept.
Coordinate conference floor box location; align power/data with furniture.
Use Cat6A data standard; LED lighting; label circuits and data points consistently.
Budget and timeline:
Fixed fee: all-inclusive.
Timeline: 2 weeks total with milestones at Concept Options, IFR, and IFF.
Submission requirements:
Short cover note confirming understanding and timeline.
Portfolio with at least two similar office projects showing furniture + utilities plans.
Sample coordination overlay (PDF).
Toolchain (AutoCAD/Revit) and file formats delivered.
Two references or platform rating history.
How to work:
Provide 2–3 layout options in Week 1; converge to final plan.
Weekly check-ins; respond within 24 hours on weekdays.
Source files and PDFs due at each milestone.
