What timeline should I plan for lounge seating in a new commercial building project?

Lounge seating for a new commercial build should be specified during the Schematic Design (SD) phase so that electrical rough-in (for power-integrated pieces) and floor outlet locations are captured in construction documents. Purchase orders should be placed during Design Development (DD), typically 12–18 weeks before the planned occupancy date for standard in-stock items, or 20–26 weeks for custom or contract-lead items. Allow time for: product selection and approval samples (2–4 weeks); order processing and manufacturing (8–14 weeks for contract grade); freight and delivery (1–2 weeks); and installation (1–3 days per floor depending on quantity).
