Open-plan vs cellular office: how AV strategy changes
Two 200-person UK offices with the same £250,000 AV budget will look very different on plan. An open-plan floor needs a wider acoustic strategy to hit NR35 to NR40, with sound masking, ceiling absorption and many small enclosed booths to recover privacy. A cellular floor targets NR30 to NR35 per room, with the budget shifted into per-room video conferencing, control and reinstatement-friendly cabling. The headline kit list, signage density and meeting room mix all move accordingly.
Open-plan
- Acoustic baseline: ambient typically 50 to 55 dB(A), targeting NR35 to NR40; common complaints are intelligible neighbour conversations and phone calls carrying across the floor.
- Speech privacy: sound masking from Biamp Cambridge Qt or K-array Azimut tuned to roughly 47 dB(A), supported by ceiling baffles and acoustic raft panels above desk clusters.
- Meeting room density: heavy on huddle rooms and phone booths, typically one booth per 15 to 20 desks; Framery One, ROOM One and ZenBooth Solo are common picks for one and two person calls.
- Desk-level AV: minimal at the desk, on the assumption that focus calls move into a booth; hot-desks get a USB-C dock, single 27 inch monitor and a Jabra Speak2 or Poly Sync 20 personal speakerphone in a drawer.
- Signage: digital wayfinding at lift lobbies and floor entrances, plus booking panels on every booth and huddle room so availability is visible at a glance; Evoko Liso or Logitech Tap Scheduler at door level.
- Hardware fit: ceiling-tile speakers, ceiling microphone arrays for shared spaces, Jabra PanaCast 50 for medium huddle rooms, and Poly Studio P21 for the personal-monitor zones.
Cellular
- Acoustic baseline: ambient typically 35 to 45 dB(A) per room, targeting NR30 to NR35; the bigger issue is room-to-room flanking through partitions and door seals, not floor-wide noise.
- Speech privacy: no masking needed in most rooms; spec is on partition Rw, door acoustic seals and per-room absorption to stop reverberation building inside the room.
- Meeting room density: fewer huddle rooms because individual offices double as call spaces; more emphasis on a small number of larger boardrooms and training rooms, and a couple of focus rooms for visitors.
- Desk-level AV: generous at the desk: dual monitor, USB-C dock, a fixed Logitech Brio 500 or Jabra PanaCast 20, and a built-in speakerphone, because most calls happen at the desk rather than in a booth.
- Signage: wayfinding focused at reception and floor entrances only; booking panels mostly on the shared meeting rooms, not on every individual office door.
- Hardware fit: per-room Microsoft Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms bars (Logitech Rally Bar, Poly Studio X52), Crestron or Q-SYS room control, and recessed in-ceiling speakers only in the larger shared rooms.
For a UK office fit-out, our typical phasing is a site acoustic and services survey, Cat B coordination with the D&B contractor and M&E team on containment and ceiling layouts, then a hardware shortlist tied to your platform choice (Teams, Zoom or Google Meet). Install windows are scheduled around the main programme, usually 2 to 4 weeks on site for an SME floor or phased floor-by-floor for larger schemes.
Office AV FAQs
Q.What's the difference between cat A and cat B office AV fit-outs?
Cat A is the landlord's base build — typically containment, ceiling grid, lighting, and an empty office shell ready for a tenant. AV is almost never included at cat A. Cat B is the tenant's bespoke fit-out, which is where AV lands: meeting rooms, huddle spaces, video conferencing, digital signage, room booking and audio. We work directly with your D&B (design-and-build) contractor or independently as the AV specialist, coordinating with the M&E team on cabling, power and ceiling layouts so AV doesn't get squeezed at the end of the programme.
Q.What hybrid working tech do UK offices typically need?
A modern UK hybrid office usually needs three layers: certified video conferencing rooms (Microsoft Teams Rooms on Logitech, Poly or Yealink, or Zoom Rooms); a desk and room booking platform (Robin, Joan, Condeco or AskCody) tied to Outlook or Google Calendar; and occupancy sensors so facilities can rightsize space. Add wireless presentation (ClickShare, Mersive Solstice or AirServer) for huddle rooms. Together these reduce 'meeting room poker' and let employees confidently come into the office knowing space is ready.
Q.Do you offer AV-as-a-Service for SMEs and growing teams?
Yes. AV-as-a-Service spreads the cost of meeting rooms, video conferencing kit and digital signage across a 36 or 60 month operating-expense agreement, typically £150–£800 per room per month. It includes hardware refresh, support and managed updates so you avoid a large up-front capex hit. This is particularly popular with SMEs taking their first office, scale-ups doing a 100–300 desk fit-out, and tenants on a 5-year lease who want kit refreshed at year three.
Q.How does AV differ between open-plan and cellular offices?
Open-plan floors need careful acoustic treatment — directional speakers, ceiling tile absorbers and white-noise (sound masking) systems from Cambridge Sound or Biamp keep voice privacy intact and reduce distraction. Cellular offices and meeting rooms instead focus on per-room AV: Teams Rooms or Zoom Rooms with the right microphone coverage for the table size. We commonly deliver a hybrid — open-plan with sound masking and signage, plus 4–10 enclosed huddle and meeting rooms with full video conferencing.
Q.What does an office AV project cost in the UK?
Pricing varies by scope. A 6–8 person Microsoft Teams Room is typically £8,000–£15,000 fully installed; a huddle room is £3,500–£6,000; an open-plan floor with sound masking, ceiling speakers and 6 meeting rooms is usually £80,000–£200,000. A full SME fit-out covering 50–150 desks with mixed meeting rooms, signage and booking is typically £100,000–£350,000. AV-as-a-Service is available across all of these to convert capex into a fixed monthly cost.
Q.Can you handle multi-site rollouts across the UK?
Yes. We standardise on a small number of room kits (huddle, standard meeting, training and executive) using consistent platforms such as Microsoft Teams Rooms on Logitech or Poly hardware with Crestron or Q-SYS control. We then run a national programme — typically 1–2 sites a week — using local engineers under our project management. Rollouts of 20–80 sites are common, often delivered alongside a Cushman, JLL or Savills workplace consultancy team driving the wider estate strategy.
Q.How do landlord and tenant responsibilities split for office AV?
In most UK leases, AV inside the demise is 100% the tenant's responsibility — including cabling, mounting, power supplies and reinstatement at the end of the lease. The landlord usually owns the building's risers, comms rooms and any common-part signage. We handle the licence-to-alter process with managing agents (Savills, JLL, CBRE), produce method statements and RAMS, and ensure work is completed under your dilapidations schedule so reinstatement at lease end is straightforward.
Q.What's a realistic timeline for a UK office AV fit-out?
For a 50–150 desk SME fit-out, expect 4–6 weeks of design and procurement followed by 2–4 weeks on site, ideally running alongside the cat B contractor's programme. A simple meeting room refresh in occupied space takes 1–3 days per room, scheduled out of hours. Larger 300+ desk corporate offices typically run 8–14 weeks total, with phased handover so teams can move in floor by floor. We provide a 30-day stabilisation period followed by a managed support contract.
