The gaps that matter
- Walkways. OSHA requires exit routes to be at least 28 in wide at all points (29 CFR 1910.36(g)(2)). An accessible route needs 36 in clear (ADA 2010 Standards, section 403.5.1). The International Building Code asks for 44 in in most corridors (Section 1020).
- Behind a desk chair. Leave about 36 in from the desk edge to a wall so the chair can roll back. If people also walk behind, allow more.
- Around a meeting table. Leave 36 to 60 in from the table edge, depending on whether people need to pass. Our conference room size calculator explains the options.
- Turning space. A wheelchair needs a 60 in circle to turn (ADA section 304.3.1). Keep at least one in each room a wheelchair user will work in.
Planning tips
- Start with doors and windows. Mark where they are first, so you do not block a door swing or put screens facing a bright window.
- Group by noise. Put meeting tables and phone areas away from quiet desks.
- Leave power in mind. Place desks near floor boxes or walls with sockets to avoid cables across walkways.
- Check the total first. If you are not sure how big the office should be, run the office space calculator before you draw.
Moving in and installing
- Measure door widths, lift sizes and stair turns before furniture arrives.
- Number each piece on the plan and tape the same number to the floor.
- Build and place the largest items first, then desks, then chairs and small storage.
- Before you buy new, check what you can reuse from your current office.
The planner is a sketching tool, not a construction drawing. Ask a licensed professional to check exits, fire safety and accessibility for your building.
Frequently asked questions
Is the office layout planner free?
Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs in your browser. There is nothing to install.
Is my floor plan saved?
It is saved in your own browser's storage on this device. We never receive it. If you clear your browser data, the plan is lost, so print it if you need a copy.
Can I plan a cubicle layout?
Yes. Add 6 x 6 ft or 6 x 8 ft cubicles and drag them into rows or clusters. See our cubicle and workstation sizes guide for typical layouts.
How do I create an office layout plan?
Measure the room, mark doors and windows, decide how many desks and meeting places you need, then place the largest pieces first and check every walkway is wide enough.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Drag pieces with your finger. A larger screen is easier for big rooms.
