Start from the venue, not the furniture list

For boardroom meeting layout, make table perimeter + chair pull-back + cable route visible in the plan before quantities or supplier scope are approved.

Details to settle first

  • Decision anchor: table perimeter + chair pull-back + cable route.
  • Mark the boardroom meeting layout assumptions directly on the floor plan or quote brief.
