How to use the plans
- Measure the carpet area from the landlord’s fit-out drawing, not from the brochure. Chargeable area in a Mumbai Grade-B building runs 25 to 40 per cent above carpet.
- Plot the columns and the riser first. A single column in the middle of a 20 ft span decides where the meeting room goes, not your preference.
- Count the enclosed rooms before the desks. Ten people with no enclosed room take their calls in the open floor, and the floor becomes unusable.
- Check the lift diagonal before specifying a 6 ft meeting table; most older Andheri and Lower Parel buildings cannot take one whole.
Three mistakes these plans prevent
- Filling the plan with desks. Ten desks fit in 500 sq ft. They do not work in 500 sq ft, because nothing else does.
- Putting the pantry in the reception sightline. It is the cheapest mistake to avoid and the most visible one to a visiting client.
- Skipping the phone booth to save 30 sq ft. On a ten-person floor the booth is occupied most of the day, which tells you what it was replacing.

Frequently asked questions
Is 700 sq ft enough for 10 people?+
Yes, at 70 sq ft a head, which is the working Mumbai average. It gives you ten desks, one cabin, one meeting room and a pantry, with nothing spare. Below 60 sq ft a head you are choosing between a meeting room and a pantry, and teams usually regret losing the meeting room.
What does a 10-seater office cost to fit out?+
Between ₹1,100 and ₹2,400 per sq ft of carpet, ex-GST, depending on whether the space is warm shell or bare shell and how much of the HVAC and fire system you inherit. A 720 sq ft office at ₹1,600 works out at about ₹11.5 lakh before GST.
How wide should the circulation be?+
Three feet between desk backs and 4 ft on the main route to the exit. The 4 ft figure is not a comfort choice: it is what keeps a means-of-escape route compliant once the fire officer inspects the fit-out.
Can I use these plans for a landlord submission?+
Not directly. They are planning aids, not drawings issued for approval. A landlord fit-out submission needs your floor plate, the services layout, the fire and sprinkler modifications and a licensed consultant’s stamp. Use these to fix the arrangement, then have it drawn properly.
Do I need two cabins for ten people?+
Rarely. One cabin plus one bookable meeting room serves most ten-person teams better, because the second cabin sits empty while the meeting room is always full. Sheet B shows two cabins for the firms — usually professional services — where two people genuinely need a door.
