How We Plan Modular Workstations

Freestanding benching and sit-stand desks are not cubicles. There are no panels to number, but there are motors, control boxes, height handsets, shared beams, cable trays, and a spine running power down the middle of a bench row. The risk is different too: a run carried whole can rack its frame, and a desk lifted by its top can pull a motor bracket loose.

Our process runs in a set order. Before anything comes apart, each sit-stand desk is run all the way down and the building power is switched off at the row. Your electrician releases any hardwired feed or floor box. We then unplug control boxes, take handsets off and bag them by desk, and empty the cable trays onto labeled bags for your IT contact. Tops come off the frames, shared beams come out, and each frame is marked with its row and seat. At the new office we rebuild to the dealer’s seating drawing, reattach handsets, plug each desk into its row, and run it through its full height range once to show it moves. Anything that does not travel correctly goes to the dealer.

Timing that works
Breakdown after close and rebuild before staff return, typically across an evening and the following day or a weekend, with the electrician booked at both ends

What typically moves

  • Bench worksurfaces Removed from shared beams, wrapped flat, and marked with row, seat, and which side of the spine they faced.
  • Shared beams and bench frames Taken apart at their factory joints, with bolts bagged by row so each run rebuilds with its own hardware.
  • Sit-stand bases and lifting columns Lowered fully before breakdown and carried by the frame, never by the columns or motor housings.
  • Control boxes and height handsets Unplugged, bagged, and taped to their own frame so the right handset returns to the right desk.
  • Under-desk cable trays Emptied of cables and power strips, which go into labeled bags for your IT contact.
  • Power and data spines Released by your electrician where hardwired, then moved as a labeled section of its row.
  • Desk-mounted privacy screens Unclamped, wrapped with their brackets, and stacked on edge so the fabric and acrylic stay unmarked.

Access and scheduling

We build the schedule around the electrician. If your benching has hardwired power, the electrician releases it before we start and restores it after the rebuild, so we agree both times with them first. Your IT contact disconnects data at the desks before breakdown and returns once desks are powered. We can run breakdown into the evening and rebuild on a Saturday, so staff leave on a working floor and come back to one.

Long bench runs take up space when they are apart. Frames, tops, and beams for a single row can fill a corridor, so we ask the building where parts may sit by the freight cab and for a dock slot long enough to load in rebuild order. The new floor must be clear of other trades before the first frame goes down.

Protection and handling

The frame is the weak point when these desks are in pieces. Motor housings and lifting columns get wrapped separately, and every sit-stand base travels lowered, strapped upright on a cart. Worksurfaces ride flat or on edge with blankets between them so laminate and edge banding stay intact.

Hardware is where these moves go wrong, so each row’s bolts, beam connectors, and brackets go into one bag labeled for that row. Any row built differently from the rest gets photographed while still assembled. During the rebuild, if a column hesitates, a handset does not respond, or a bracket is cracked, we note it by seat and pass it to your furniture dealer rather than attempting a repair or forcing a fit.

Who does what

Some of this job belongs to other trades. The written plan names each one.

Hardwired power, floor boxes, and spine feeds
A licensed electrician releases them before breakdown, then powers each row and checks it once the frames are standing again.
Motor faults, control-box resets, and warranty questions
Your furniture dealer or the manufacturer’s service technician handles them. We report issues by seat number.
Data cables and the computers on each desk
Your IT contact handles data. Our crew can disconnect and reconnect the computer and monitors on each desk once the IT contact clears it.

Not part of our work

  • Reprogramming control boxes, setting height presets, or repairing motors.
  • Designing a new bench layout or supplying missing parts; the dealer owns the drawing and the parts list.

Around St. Johns County and Jacksonville

Open benching is typical in newer offices along Nocatee Pkwy and in Town Center-area buildings near J. Turner Butler Blvd, where companies often reconfigure rows at a lease renewal. In older Southside mid-rises around Baymeadows Rd, freight elevators can be short, so long tops may need to go on edge.

Modular Workstations FAQs

Another question? Call (904) 209-9277.

Can a bench row move without being taken apart?

Rarely. A full row is too long for most elevators and doorways, and moving it whole can twist the frame. Short two-person benches sometimes travel assembled if the path allows it. We check the route at both buildings and tell you which rows need breaking down.

Who makes sure every sit-stand desk still goes up and down after the move?

We run each rebuilt desk through its full height range once to show it moves. Any desk that stalls, beeps, or responds unevenly goes on a list by seat for your furniture dealer, who handles control resets, motor faults, and warranty questions.

What happens to the cables inside the trays and spines?

Your IT contact decides whether cables stay in place or come out. Loose power strips and cables we remove go into bags labeled by desk. Anything hardwired into the spine or floor is released by your electrician first. Ties holding building wiring stay untouched by our crew.

Do we need the dealer’s new seating drawing before breakdown starts?

Yes. The drawing tells us how many runs to rebuild, how long each one is, and where they sit. If the new layout uses fewer or shorter rows, we label spare frames and tops separately so you or the dealer can decide what happens to them.
